Finding a wasp nest around your home or business can quickly become stressful, especially when wasps are flying close to doors, windows, rooflines, sheds or garden seating areas. A nest can become more active as the season goes on, and trying to deal with it yourself can put you at risk of painful stings.

I’m Steve from SLS Pest Control, and I provide professional wasp nest removal in Peterborough and the surrounding areas. Whether the nest is in a loft, wall cavity, shed, garage, hedge, roof space or outdoor structure, I can assess the situation and provide safe, effective treatment.

Where Wasp Nests Are Commonly Found

Wasps often build nests in quiet, sheltered places where they are unlikely to be disturbed. Around Peterborough homes, this often means roof spaces, lofts, sheds, garages, wall cavities, air bricks, fascias, bushes, trees and garden buildings.

You may not see the nest itself at first. In many cases, the clearest sign is a steady stream of wasps flying in and out of the same gap, hole or sheltered area throughout the day.

Lofts, roof spaces and eaves
Sheds, garages and outbuildings
Wall cavities and air bricks
Fascias, soffits and roofline gaps
Hedges, bushes and trees
Garden offices, summerhouses and decking areas

Why You Should Not Disturb A Wasp Nest

Wasps can become aggressive if they feel the nest is under threat. Knocking, spraying, blocking or poking a nest can cause large numbers of wasps to defend it, which is why DIY attempts can be dangerous.

If you think you have a wasp nest, it is best to keep people and pets away from the area and get professional advice. This is especially important if the nest is near a doorway, children’s play area, workplace entrance or anywhere people pass regularly.

Do not block the entrance hole
Do not hit, shake or disturb the nest
Avoid using DIY sprays near active nests
Keep children and pets away from the area
Watch where the wasps are entering and leaving
Call a professional if the nest is active

Signs You May Have A Wasp Nest

Wasps using the same entry point — repeated activity around one gap, hole or roofline is a common sign.
Increased wasp activity — numbers may build as the nest grows through spring and summer.
Buzzing from a wall or loft — nests hidden inside structures can sometimes be heard nearby.
Wasps appearing indoors — this may happen if a nest is close to a window, loft hatch or internal void.
Activity around sheds or garden buildings — quiet outbuildings are common nesting spots.
Wasps becoming defensive — this can happen when people, pets or equipment get too close to the nest.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. During the heatwave I spotted a very brazen rat in the back garden. I called Steve for some advice. He advised to monitor the situation for 5-7 days, as it could be just passing through given the weather and didn't want to lay poison unless absolutely necessary because of the impact on other wildlife. Unfortunately the rat was seen daily coming up to the patio area near the  house, the backdoor to which was open constantly. Called Steve to update. He gave a very reasonable price, explained the process and put bait boxes down. After a couple of weeks there were no more sightings. Steve was professional, polite, approachable throughout and explained everything, which was really helpful. Would absolutely recommend SLS.

S.L.S where a lot cheaper than any other quote that i had been given, great value and great service, i would recommend these to everyone with pest issues, and i will definitely use them again in the future if i need them.
