Wasps and hornets play an important role in the ecosystem, but when they build nests in or near homes and workplaces, they can cause serious problems. Left untreated, they can lead to:
Risk of painful stings to staff, customers, or family
Aggressive activity can disrupt outdoor business operations
Property damage from nests built in walls, eaves, or roof spaces
Health and safety issues with potential legal consequences
Recurrent nests increase treatment costs if not managed properly
Difficulties complying with health and safety regulations
Get in touch with our Pest Control team
At Nurture Pest Control, we bring over 45 years’ experience in identifying, treating, and safely removing wasp and hornet nests across the UK. Our RSPH-qualified technicians are equipped to manage infestations of any size, from small garden nests to large colonies in commercial or high-risk settings.
Every treatment begins with a thorough inspection to locate the nest, confirm the species, and assess the safest method of control. Using specialist protective equipment and access tools, our team can work effectively even in difficult or elevated locations. Where insecticides are required, we use only products approved for professional use, ensuring treatments are both safe and effective.
As leaders in sustainable pest management, we take care to minimise environmental impact, delivering fast, reliable results without compromising the wider ecosystem.
Every situation is different, so our trained technicians assess your site carefully before recommending the safest and most effective treatment.
Hornet and wasp nest removal
In most cases, our service focuses on treating the nest rather than physically removing it. While we may remove the nest where it is safely accessible, this is not always possible, such as when nests are located within walls or other hard-to-reach areas. Nevertheless, once the treatment has been effectively applied, the wasps will be eliminated, even if the nest itself remains in place.
Hornet & wasp control services
Our trained wasp technicians provide rapid, effective treatment for domestic or commercial infestations. Typical treatments only require a single visit and provide a fast and cost-efficient solution.
Preventative wasp and hornet measures
We also provide seasonal advice and control measures that use our knowledge of wasp behaviour against the wasps as they forage for food in potentially sensitive areas such as beer gardens and outside dining areas. Such measures can also be used in commercial waste / bin areas.
Honeybee nest relocation
It’s common for people to mistake honeybees for wasps or hornets. Our beekeepers carefully relocate honeybee nests to a safe environment, protecting this vital species while resolving the issue for you.
We understand how disruptive wasps and hornets can be, and the stress they create when close to people. With over four decades of experience, we provide proven solutions that prioritise safety, compliance, and sustainability.
It is strongly recommended to hire an experienced professional pest controller for wasp nest treatment. Due to the serious risks involved we do not recommend tackling it yourself.

What are the signs of a wasp infestation?
Common signs that wasps have taken up residence include:
Early detection is important to prevent stings, allergic reactions, and further nesting, and professional removal ensures safety.
What are wasps attracted to?
Foraging wasps are primarily attracted to sweet foods and drinks, such as fruit, sugary drinks, jam, and desserts. They are also drawn to protein sources like meat, fish, and pet food, especially when collecting food to feed their larvae. Other factors that can attract wasps include open bins, compost heaps, and uncovered food in gardens or outdoor eating areas.
Is wasp treatment dangerous?
Wasp treatment can be dangerous if attempted without proper knowledge or equipment. Wasps and hornets will defend their nest aggressively, and stings can be painful or even life-threatening for anyone with allergies. That’s why it’s strongly recommended to use a qualified pest control professional.
Are businesses legally required to deal with wasp infestations?
Yes. In the UK, businesses have a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to protect employees, customers, and visitors from hazards – including wasps. If a wasp nest is present on your premises, it could pose a sting risk or trigger allergic reactions, which businesses must manage responsibly. Failing to address infestations could lead to legal action, fines, or reputational damage.
Can wasps damage property or just pose a sting risk?
Wasps are best known for the sting risk they pose, which can be painful and, in some cases, trigger severe allergic reactions. However, wasps can also cause property-related issues. When building nests, they may chew through wood, plasterboard, or insulation to create space, leading to structural damage over time. In lofts, wall cavities, and roof spaces, a large nest can weaken materials and be difficult to remove without professional help.
