Summer visitors and wasps both arrive in force in Clacton-on-Sea. Between the seafront, the holiday accommodation and the streets of bungalows, there are plenty of roof voids, sheds and sheltered corners where a queen can start a nest, and by August that nest may hold thousands of wasps.
We treat wasp nests for householders, landlords, guest houses and businesses in Clacton-on-Sea. Our technician finds the nest, treats it calmly and safely, and gives you straightforward advice on what to do afterwards, including sealing up the gap.

Bungalows are common here, and their wide, low roofs with long runs of soffit and fascia give wasps lots of ways in. A nest can sit just above a front window or a conservatory roof without anyone noticing until the traffic of wasps becomes obvious. Detached garden sheds, garages and summer houses by the back fence are other regular spots. Look at the roofline on a warm afternoon.
Many Clacton-on-Sea residents are retired, and a nest by a front door or washing line can be worrying and awkward to deal with. Guest houses and holiday lets have a different concern, since guests can be stung in a garden or at a breakfast table. Sweet drinks, ice cream and bins along the seafront draw wasps in during late summer. Early checks help.
We look at the flight path to confirm where the entrance is, then treat the nest from a safe distance or position using a professional product. The wasps carry it back, and the colony dies back over a few days. We tell you what to expect, including that a handful of confused wasps may circle the old entrance for a short while.
If you live alone or have limited mobility, we are happy to deal with access ourselves and explain things clearly, so there is no need to climb a ladder or check the loft yourself.

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 →No, a colony dies off in autumn and the old nest is not reused. A new queen may build somewhere nearby, sometimes in the same sheltered spot, so sealing the gap and checking the roof in spring helps.
Generally yes. These spots are often reachable with a ladder, and we can apply the treatment into the gap without removing anything. Tell us where the wasps are going in and roughly how high it is, and whether there is glass or a roof light close by.
Often yes. We can work around check-in and check-out times where practical, and we will tell you which areas to keep clear while the nest dies back. Contact us with the layout and the location of the nest.
