A wasp nest the size of a tennis ball in June is a nest the size of a football by August. They don’t get smaller by waiting, and they don’t get less annoyed either, so this is one job where speed genuinely matters.
Crittorz handles wasp nest removal across every London borough and the South East, usually same day if you call before lunch.
Wasp nests usually cost £60–£120.
A nest grows through spring and summer as the colony expands, so a problem that looks manageable in May can be genuinely dangerous by August, particularly for anyone with an allergy nearby. Wasps also get more defensive as a nest matures, which is part of why a job that felt straightforward in early summer can be a different proposition by the time most people actually call.
Most wasp nest jobs are external, sheds, eaves, lofts accessed from outside, and can often be sorted without anyone needing to be home. Treatment is usually in and out within the hour, and most nests are fully inactive within 24 hours, though some residual activity as wasps return to a treated nest is normal for a day or so afterwards. A check-back visit about a week later is standard practice just to confirm it's fully dealt with.
Same day response in most cases, particularly if called before lunch
Safe, approved treatment suitable for domestic gardens
No need to be present for external nests in most cases

Advice on preventing repeat nesting in the same spot next season
Same day, most of the time, especially if you call before lunch.
Not usually, if it's external, a shed, eaves, or similar. Anything requiring access inside the house, yes, someone needs to be in.
Best to keep them away from the immediate area for a short period after treatment, we'll advise on timing specific to your job when we visit.
Most nests are fully inactive within 24 hours. Some residual activity as wasps return to the nest is normal for a day or so. A follow-up check is available if needed.
Sometimes, if the original entry point isn't addressed. We can advise on proofing the area to reduce the chance of it.
Not unusual on larger properties. Mention it when you call, most jobs can still be handled in one visit.
Nests don't wait, and neither should you.
