Wasp Nest Removal in Fife & Edinburgh

Wasp nest? Don’t try to tackle it yourself

Wasps become aggressive when their nest is disturbed and can sting repeatedly. Nests grow quickly through the summer – a small nest in spring can hold thousands of wasps by late summer. Our technicians have the protective equipment and professional products to treat nests safely, wherever they are.

Where we find wasp nests

• Lofts and roof spaces
• Under eaves, soffits and roof tiles
• Wall cavities and air bricks
• Sheds, garages and outbuildings
• Hedges, bushes and holes in the ground

How wasp nest treatment works

We locate the nest and treat it directly with a professional insecticide. Wasp activity usually drops sharply within a few hours, as returning wasps come into contact with the treatment, and the nest typically dies off within a day or two. In most cases the nest doesn’t need to be physically removed – if it does, we’ll tell you.

Real job: the wasp nest that came through the ceiling

Left alone, a wasp nest keeps growing all summer. On this job the wasps had built their nest in the void above a bathroom skylight. As it grew, they chewed through the plasterboard until the nest was visible from inside the bathroom.

We removed the nest from the ceiling void, and the ceiling was then repaired and re-plastered. If you see wasps going in and out of a gap near a window, roofline or vent, it is far easier – and cheaper – to have the nest treated early than to repair damage later.

Wasp season in Scotland

Wasp activity in Edinburgh and Fife usually peaks from June to September. If you spot a steady stream of wasps flying in and out of one spot, that’s a nest – call us before it gets bigger.

Bees are different

Bees are important pollinators. If you’re not sure whether you have wasps or bees, send us a photo or give us a call and we’ll advise you on the right approach before any treatment.
