Our Wasp & Hornet Prevention Services
Our preventative nest treatment service is designed for properties that are prone to infestation or where nests have been found in previous years. We begin with an assessment of your building to identify potential nesting hotspots. Once these have been identified, we apply a residual insecticide treatment in strategic areas where queen wasps or hornets are likely to start nesting in spring. This includes entry points under roof tiles, air bricks, fascia boards, outbuildings, garden sheds, and more. For commercial properties, we tailor our approach to match the specific risks of the site, offering multiple applications if required. We also provide aftercare support, including advice on reducing attractants and sealing potential entry routes.
Our Proven Preventative Nest Treatment Process
Our preventative nest treatment process is thorough, effective, and designed to offer season-long protection. It begins with a telephone consultation where we learn more about your property and any past pest activity. Then, we arrange a site visit where our technician carries out a detailed inspection to locate potential nesting areas. Based on our assessment, we apply a targeted residual treatment to vulnerable areas using long-lasting insecticides designed to deter nesting queens. This treatment is fast-acting, weather-resistant, and safe for both people and pets. We conclude the visit by advising on aftercare, such as sealing access points or improving outdoor waste storage. The entire process is carried out with minimal disruption, providing reliable protection against infestation.
Frequently Asked Questions About
preventative nest treatment
The most effective time to book a preventative nest treatment is in early spring, typically between March and May. This is when queen wasps and hornets begin emerging from hibernation and search for suitable nesting sites. By applying a treatment during this window, we can deter them before they start building a nest. However, treatments later in the year can still be useful in high-risk areas or properties with a history of infestations.
Yes, our preventative treatments are carried out using approved insecticides that are safe for people, pets, and the environment when applied professionally. We always inform you of any precautions to take post-treatment, such as keeping pets away from treated areas for a short period. Our technicians are trained to apply products precisely and safely, so you can rest assured your home remains a safe space for everyone.
Our preventative treatments typically offer protection for up to 12 weeks, depending on environmental factors like rain exposure and building conditions. For properties with a high risk of nesting, we may recommend a follow-up application mid-season. We also offer ongoing pest management plans for year-round protection, which include regular inspections and top-up treatments if needed.
The treatment involves the application of a fine spray or dust to areas where queens are likely to nest, such as soffits, roof edges, wall cavities, and other entry points. The insecticide is residual, meaning it remains active on surfaces for several weeks. The application is non-invasive and will not damage paint, roofing, or structural materials. We always work with care and precision, using industry-grade tools and techniques.
Absolutely. We regularly provide preventative treatments for schools, restaurants, offices, warehouses, and retail spaces. These premises often have outdoor bins, vents, and sheltered areas ideal for nesting. Our commercial service includes a tailored risk assessment, multi-site scheduling if needed, and flexible out-of-hours appointments. Regular inspections and treatments can be arranged as part of an annual pest prevention plan to protect staff, customers, and reputation.
While preventative treatments are highly effective, no method can offer a 100% guarantee against all activity. If a nest still appears after our treatment, we offer rapid response removal services at a discounted rate for clients who’ve used our prevention plan. We’ll also inspect the area to understand how the nest developed and offer further advice or additional treatments to help prevent recurrence.
