Wasps in Chimneys

In Pests

PESTUK have a very successful pest control team with long ladders and roof ladders to deal with wasp nests and bee swarms in chimneys. As far as I know there are no Local Council pest control departments and very few pest control companies that deal with this type of difficult problem. In a a lot of cases it is necessary to get close to the wasp nest or bee swarm to inject an insecticide to kill it off. In the case of a bee swarm is may be necessary to net the chimney to prevent insecticide contamination to other bees as well as to help prevent re infestation of bees in the future.

Cost to Deal with Wasps in Chimneys

The ‘normal’ cost to deal with a wasp nest is £50 + VAT (£60 inc VAT) but to the the extra labour (we use 2 people on wasp high access or chimney jobs), the extra logistics in picking up and transporting the very long ladders and roof ladders and the extra insurance required then the cost is more: £135 + VAT (£156 inc VAT). Not all chimney jobs require this though. We can get to quite high wasp nests using standard ladders and extension poles. If in doubt then why not e mail photos of where the wasp or bee nest is to: services@pestuk.com and in most cases we can tell from photo’s if specialist access is required.
