Leicester City Council runs its own pest control service (details). It treats rats, mice, cockroaches, wasps, fleas (council properties only). It doesn't treat ants, bees, foxes, pigeons, bats. Undated price table, read October 2026, VAT included: rats inside or outside free; mice £90 for two visits then £30 per extra visit; cockroaches the same; wasps £90 plus £30 per extra nest; fleas (council properties only) £90 for up to three bedrooms. Businesses and landlords: £90 per hour plus VAT and materials, one-off call-outs only.

Nests grow fastest from June to September, so the earlier one is treated the fewer wasps there are to deal with. After treatment, keep away from the entrance for about 24 hours while the wasps die off. We cover City Centre, Clarendon Park, Highfields, Stoneygate and the rest of LE1–LE5.

Local Knowledge: Wasp Nest Removal In Leicester

Much of inner Leicester was built fast in the late 19th century. The city council describes South Highfields as rows of two-storey red brick terraces with sash windows and stone lintels, and similar streets run through Clarendon Park, Westcotes and the West End. After well over a century, those roofs have plenty of openings at the eaves, bargeboards and ridge, and that's where most of our Leicester wasp nests are: in the roof void or wall cavity, a few metres from a bedroom window. Abbey Park, which the Canal & River Trust notes stretches across both sides of the Soar, and Victoria Park give the workers somewhere to forage.

Leicester City Council treats wasps for £90, plus £30 for each additional nest, and its pest control page gives a response time of within 10 working days. It doesn't treat bees. In late July or August, two weeks is a long time to live with a growing nest over the back door.

We can often visit the same day. The treatment is insecticide dust puffed into the nest entrance, usually 15 to 30 minutes on site; keep away from the spot for 24 hours afterwards. We'll explain the likely cost before we set off; it depends on the nest, the property and the time of the visit.

More local detail (neighbourhoods, the council's pest service and charges, nearby towns) is on our pest control in Leicester page.

Wasp Nest Removal Leicester: FAQs

If they're small, furry and each one uses its own little hole in soft mortar, they're probably solitary masonry bees. They rarely sting and don't need killing; the council suggests repointing the joints over winter. Wasps are smooth, bright yellow and black, and stream in and out of one entrance. Send us a photo if you're not sure.

Same-day visits are often possible in wasp season. We work 7 days a week, 6am–8pm, with emergency call-outs every day: call 07999 935 929. The treatment itself usually takes 15–30 minutes.

We'll check before treating. Honeybee swarms are collected by local beekeepers wherever possible, and bumblebee nests are usually best left alone; we only treat bees as a last resort. See our bee removal page.

No. Treating the nest kills the colony; the empty nest isn't reused. We remove accessible nests on request.
