Signs You Have a Wasps Nest
Wasp nests can appear anywhere around your property. Loft spaces, wall cavities, sheds, garages, under guttering, and even holes in the ground are all common nesting sites. A small nest in spring can grow to hold thousands of wasps by late summer, so early action is always the best approach.
Common signs include:
- A steady stream of wasps flying to and from a single entry point
- Increased wasp activity around your home, garden, or bins
- A visible papery nest (grey or brown, roughly the size of a golf ball in spring, up to a football or larger by late summer)
- Buzzing or humming sounds from a wall cavity, loft, or soffit
- Wasps entering gaps in brickwork, roof tiles, or air vents
If you have noticed any of these signs at your Nottingham property, do not attempt to deal with the nest yourself. Disturbing a nest can provoke a swarm, and wasps can sting repeatedly. Call us for safe, professional removal.
Our Wasp Nest Treatment Process
We use professional-grade insecticidal dust and spray treatments that are only available to qualified pest controllers. These are far more effective than anything you can buy in a shop.
Inspection: We arrive in an unmarked vehicle, locate the nest, and assess the best approach. We will give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
Treatment: An insecticidal powder or spray is applied to the nest entrance. The wasps carry the product into the nest, which kills the colony over the following 24 to 48 hours. Most treatments take around 15 to 30 minutes on site.
After treatment: You may see increased wasp activity for a few hours as returning foragers become agitated. This is normal. Keep people and pets away from the treated area until activity stops completely, usually within one to two days.
The nest itself does not need to be removed. Old nests are never reused. If the nest is in an accessible location and you would prefer it taken away, we can arrange this.
What our clients say
Lisa, Beeston
“I had a wasp nest under the guttering and was terrified to go in the garden. Called Urgent Pest Control and Gino was out within a couple of hours. He suited up, treated the nest, and explained exactly what would happen over the next day or two. Wasps were gone by the following morning. Brilliant service.”
Mark T., Arnold
“We found wasps getting into the loft through a gap in the soffit. Gino came the same day, identified the nest straight away, and had it treated in about 20 minutes. He even pointed out where we needed to seal up afterwards to stop it happening again next year. Really thorough.”
Sarah P., West Bridgford
“The kids spotted wasps going in and out of a hole in the lawn. I had no idea they nested in the ground. Gino sorted it quickly and safely, and the price was very reasonable. Would not hesitate to recommend.”
Why Professional Treatment Matters
Wasps are aggressive when they feel their nest is threatened. A single nest can contain thousands of wasps by mid-summer, and unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times. When a wasp stings, it releases a chemical that signals other wasps to attack.
DIY removal is dangerous and often ineffective. Shop-bought sprays may kill a few wasps on contact but rarely reach the nest itself. Blocking the entrance simply forces the wasps to find another way in or out, sometimes into your home.
Professional treatment works because we apply the product directly to the nest or its entrance, ensuring the entire colony is eliminated. Our technicians wear full protective equipment and know how to handle nests in awkward locations, including high rooflines, wall cavities, and underground.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you get here?
We offer same-day callouts across Nottingham. For emergencies, call us directly on 07999 935 929.
How much does wasp nest removal cost?
We provide a fixed quote after assessing the nest. Pricing depends on the location and accessibility, but there is no call-out fee and no hidden charges.
Is the treatment safe for pets and children?
Yes. We ask that you keep people and pets away from the treated area for 24 to 48 hours until wasp activity has stopped. The insecticides we use break down quickly and pose no risk to mammals once the treatment area is clear.
Will the wasps come back?
Wasps never reuse an old nest. However, they may build a new nest nearby the following year if the conditions are suitable. We can advise on proofing measures to reduce the chances of this happening.
Do you remove the nest?
The nest does not need to be removed for the treatment to work. Once treated, the nest is dead and harmless. If you would like it physically removed, we can do this for you.
When is wasp season?
Wasps are most active between April and October. Nests start small in spring and reach peak size by August and September. Late summer is when wasps are most aggressive, as the colony begins to break down and workers forage more widely for sugary foods.
