Are you looking to get rid of wasps? If you have found a wasps nest that is causing you problems then your best course of action is to get a wasp exterminator. The wasp exterminator is professionally trained in wasp nest removal, so you don’t have to put yourself at risk of being stung.
The common wasp in the UK is a very distinctive insect. They are 10-15 mm in length, are bright yellow in colour with black bands.
You will start to see wasps flying around in the spring when the queens search for a site to establish a nest.
Typical nest sites include trees, cavities in buildings, underground, lofts and sheds. The queen builds a starter nest from wood pulp and saliva, from which she creates a kind of paper.
The wasps’ nest tends to be shaped like a rugby ball and is a grey colour.
The wasp nest and colony will increase in size throughout the summer until broken down just before autumn.
Wasps are likely to sting if they feel under threat or believe the nest will be attacked.
Wasps aren’t all bad. Their diet consists of other insect larvae, including flies. The problem is this their attraction to sugary foods. This is why they can be a nuisance around fruit trees, in pub gardens and at BBQs.
Wasps do not spread disease but their sting can be very painful and can also cause an allergic reaction in some people.
If you have tried to get rid of wasps yourself but are still having a problem then it is time to get professional help.
So you suspect that you have a wasps nest in your property or have a large number of wasps making a nuisance of themselves.
Or maybe you have found a wasps nest on your premises.
Dealing with a wasps nest yourself can be very dangerous.
We recommend that you don’t try to deal with it on your own but call us straightaway for fast wasp nest removal and management of your wasp problem.
To avoid having to get rid of wasps every year consider taking the following steps.:
Yes—RapidKill offers same-day and emergency wasps control services, with fast response for nests in lofts, gardens, or walls across all London boroughs.
Prices vary depending on nest size and location. Typically:
Common signs include visible nests in eaves, trees, wall cavities, wasps swarming around lights, buzzing sounds in lofts, and increased activity in late summer.
Wasps can become aggressive and deliver painful stings. They build large nests—sometimes housing thousands—and trigger allergic reactions, especially in the evening/months before the first frost.
Technicians use targeted insecticide powders/sprays, dust, or vacuuming. They remove or flush out nests during low activity times (evening/morning), then safely dispose of the remains.
Yes. Professionals use regulated, child- and pet-safe treatments. Areas are only re-occupied after chemicals dry or dissipate. Technicians provide detailed post-treatment safety guidance.
Yes—if entry points remain open and no proofing is done. We include sealing advice, nest site clearance, and follow-up inspections to prevent re-infestation.
DIY methods (aerosol sprays, soapy water) work on small outdoor nests. But nests in roofs, walls, or aggressive colonies are risky—professionals are safer and more effective.
Early spring removals are cheaper since nests are smaller. Peak summer/fall nests are larger and more aggressive, requiring more time and increasing treatment costs.
We’re accredited, insured, available 24/7, and equipped for fast emergency response and professional removal in all London boroughs. Our follow-up and proofing services ensure long-term peace of mind.
