Wasp nests
Make sure when booking for a wasp treatment that it is for wasps and not another species. If on arrival a pre-booked wasp treatment is identified as bees – a protected species – we will not be able to carry out the treatment and no refunds will be given.
Any wasp nests located more than 16 feet / 4.87m above the ground may result in:
- An additional charge
- The treatment not being possible
Asian Hornets
The Government is calling for the public and UK beekeepers to keep watch and report sightings of Asian Hornets this summer. For more information go to the Government website where you can find more information on how to identify Asian Hornets and an online reporting form at https://www.gov.uk/government/news/chief-plant-health-officer-urges-increased-asian-hornet-vigilance
