Billericay has a mix of older properties near the high street and houses backing onto open countryside, and wasps make use of both. If a nest has appeared in your roof, shed or garden, we can treat it for you without you having to go anywhere near it.
Our technicians visit homes and businesses around Billericay to find the nest, judge how risky it is and treat it so the colony dies back. We explain what we have found in plain terms before we start, so you know what to expect.
Found a wasp nest at your home or business? We treat wasp nests across Essex for £90 fixed cost.
Wasps commonly build nests around roof spaces, eaves, sheds, garages and other sheltered spots. Rather than disturbing a nest yourself, speak to our pest-control team.

Older buildings tend to have more places for a queen to slip in: loose roof tiles, gaps behind fascias, worn mortar and old air bricks. Residential roads of mixed ages in Billericay mean we see everything from tidy modern lofts to timber outbuildings that have been standing for decades. A sheltered, dry void is all a colony needs to get going in spring.
Because open countryside is close to the edge of town, many gardens also back onto hedgerows, trees and fields. Nests are sometimes built in the ground, in compost heaps, in dense shrubs or in the hollow of an old wall. These can be harder to spot until you notice a steady line of wasps flying to one point and disappearing. Checking at dusk, when they return, helps.
When we arrive we locate the entrance, check for any ladder or access issues and make sure the people and pets at the property are kept clear. Then a professional treatment goes directly into the nest. Wasps carry it through the colony, and over the next few days activity drops away as the nest dies back. Most visits are over quickly. We will tell you how long to stay clear.
We do not recommend blocking the entrance or using shop-bought sprays from a distance, since angry wasps can find another route into the house. After treating a Billericay nest we can talk through removing the dead nest where it is safe to reach, and which gaps in the roof or walls are worth closing before next spring arrives. Cleaning up inside lofts is worthwhile too.
Stay well back, shut nearby windows and keep children and pets indoors if the nest is close to the garden. Do not swat at wasps near the nest, as that tends to make them more defensive. Wherever you are in Billericay, we cover CM11 and CM12 and also work in Basildon and Brentwood, so describe where you are seeing activity and we will take it from there.

A single wasp is usually just passing through, but a steady stream flying to and from one spot is the clearest sign that a nest is close by.
Read the guide →It is tempting to deal with a wasp nest yourself, but stings, falls and a more aggressive colony make it one of the jobs most worth leaving to a professional.

Most household pests leave clues behind, and learning to read droppings, damage, noises and timing will help you decide what you are dealing with and what to do next.
Read the guide →Yes, some wasps dig into lawns, banks and flower beds, and you only notice them when a steady stream of insects goes in and out of one small hole. Do not pour anything down it. Treatment is a job for a technician.
Wasps are slimmer, with smooth bright yellow and black bodies, while bees look rounder and furry. A nest of papery grey material is usually wasps. If you are unsure, send us a description and we will tell you what you are dealing with.
Once a nest is inactive it can usually be removed or left, since wasps do not reuse it. Removal is worth doing in a loft where it may attract other insects. We can advise on whether it is safe to reach.
