Discovering a wasp nest on your property can be an frightening and potentially dangerous situation. Wasps are aggressive when disturbed and can sting repeatedly, making DIY removal extremely risky. At Pescon Pest Control Services, we provide safe, fast, and fully guaranteed wasp nest removal across London — including Croydon, Wembley, Streatham, Dartford, Kingston, Richmond, Tooting, Putney, Hackney, Brixton, Ealing, Lewisham, Wandsworth, Hounslow, and Bromley.
Never attempt to remove a wasp nest yourself — always call a professional. Our experienced technicians deal with wasp nests safely and efficiently every day across London.
Wasps are far more aggressive than bees and will attack in large numbers if they feel their nest is threatened. A single wasp can sting multiple times, and a disturbed nest can result in hundreds of stings within seconds. The dangers of an untreated wasp nest include:
Common Wasp (Vespula vulgaris) The most frequently encountered wasp species in London. Common wasps build papery nests in roof spaces, loft insulation, wall cavities, garden sheds, and underground burrows. They are highly aggressive when disturbed and responsible for the majority of wasp sting incidents in the UK.
German Wasp (Vespula germanica) Very similar in appearance to the common wasp, German wasps are slightly larger and equally aggressive. They favour similar nesting sites and are commonly found across London properties.
Hornet (Vespa crabro) The largest wasp species found in the UK, hornets are less common in London but increasingly reported. Despite their intimidating size, hornets are generally less aggressive than common wasps unless their nest is disturbed. Their sting is significantly more painful and potentially more dangerous.
Tree Wasp (Dolichovespula sylvestris) Tree wasps build smaller, exposed nests in trees, hedges, and shrubs. Less aggressive than common wasps but still capable of stinging when disturbed.
Asian Hornet (Vespa velutina) An invasive species increasingly reported in the UK, the Asian hornet poses a significant threat to honeybee populations. If you suspect you have spotted an Asian hornet, contact Pescon immediately — sightings should also be reported to the Non-Native Species Secretariat.
If you notice any of these signs, keep away from the area and contact Pescon immediately.
Our certified technician arrives promptly at your property, locates the nest, identifies the wasp species, and assesses the safest and most effective approach for treatment and removal. We come fully equipped with professional protective clothing and treatment products — ready to deal with the nest safely on the first visit.
Using professional-grade insecticidal dust or spray, our technician treats the nest entrance and surrounding area. The insecticide is carried into the nest by returning wasps, rapidly killing the colony including the queen. Treatment is fast, highly effective, and causes minimal disruption to your property.
Accessible Nests For nests in sheds, garages, trees, and other accessible locations, treatment is straightforward and typically completed within 30–60 minutes.
Nests in Wall Cavities & Roof Spaces For nests located inside wall cavities, loft spaces, and soffits, our technician uses specialist application equipment to deliver treatment directly into the nest area — safely and without causing unnecessary damage to your property.
Underground Nests Wasp nests in underground burrows and garden lawns are treated with professional insecticidal dust applied directly into the nest entrance, eliminating the colony quickly and safely.
After treatment, our technician advises you on what to expect in the hours and days following treatment, when it is safe to approach the treated area, and how to reduce the risk of future wasp nests on your property.
Once the colony has been fully eliminated, physical removal of the nest can be carried out where accessible and requested. Note that in many cases — particularly for nests inside wall cavities or roof spaces — physical removal is not necessary as the nest will not be reused and will naturally deteriorate over time.
