What's Involved in Wasp Removal
Step 1 — The call. Tell us where the nest is (or where you think it is), whether you can see the entry point, and whether it's accessible or somewhere confined like a wall cavity. This helps us bring the right equipment and give you an accurate quote upfront.
Step 2 — The visit. We offer same-day or next-day visits during peak wasp season (May to September). The visit itself takes 15 to 30 minutes for a standard job.
Step 3 — Treatment. We apply a professional-grade residual insecticide directly into the nest entry point. Wasps carry it inside on their bodies, spreading it through the colony, which becomes inactive within a few hours.
Step 4 — Follow-up. In most cases the nest doesn't need removing — it dries out naturally over the following weeks. If the nest reactivates within 2 to 4 weeks, we return at no extra charge.

| Loft space | £75 – £95 |

Wasps in Carlisle & Cumbria
Wasp colonies are common in Carlisle's older terraced streets, where roof eaves and soffits offer easy access into voids and lofts. Nests also turn up regularly in garden sheds, outbuildings and air bricks across the city and surrounding villages. Colonies start small in spring but grow rapidly through June, July and August, becoming more defensive as they expand — so the earlier a nest is treated, the cheaper, faster and safer it is to deal with.
