Ely sits comfortably within our patch, about 13 miles from our base in Hockwold — the cathedral city and the fen villages around it are a regular part of our round through the season, not a stretch we occasionally reach for. The mix of older streets near the cathedral, terraced housing and newer estates on the edge of the city brings the full range of nest types we see anywhere else in our area.
We cover the city and the surrounding villages — Littleport, Witchford, Stretham, Sutton and Soham — at one fixed price confirmed before we set off. Most nests are cleared in a single visit, with a free return if one stays active afterwards, and no call-out fee added regardless of which village the job’s actually in.
On the day itself, the nest is treated wherever it’s actually built — roof void, wall cavity, air brick, shed or hedge — using a professional-grade product applied to label by a trained technician, never a diluted general-purpose spray. Most colonies stop flying within a few hours and are fully collapsed within a day or two, and we’ll tell you what to expect rather than leave you guessing.
There’s no charge just to have a look or give you a price — call or send the form with roughly where the nest is, and we’ll confirm the fixed cost on the spot before anything’s booked in. Once the colony’s been treated, we’ll also tell you honestly whether the empty nest itself needs removing or can simply be left — wasps don’t reuse an old nest, so it’s often fine to leave once the colony’s gone, and we’ll say so rather than sell you work you don’t need. It’s the same straightforward approach whether the job’s a cathedral-close cottage, a fen farmhouse, or a new-build on the edge of Ely.
A wasp nest found in June is a football-sized problem by August. Treating it early is quicker, safer and cheaper — and because we price the job fixed over the phone, you know the cost before we set off.
We treat nests anywhere on the property: roof spaces, wall cavities, air bricks, sheds, hedgerows and ground nests. Every treatment is carried out to product label by a trained technician, and if the nest is still active after our visit, we return free of charge.
Most of our wasp work falls between June and September, when colonies are at their biggest. A nest starts in spring as a single queen building something the size of a golf ball. By late summer it can hold several thousand workers. That is also when wasps turn most aggressive: the colony stops raising young, and the workers go looking for sugar in bins, drinks and fallen fruit.
We don’t knock nests down or block up the entrance. Sealing a hole in a wall cavity can push the wasps inwards, into the loft or the house. Treating at the entrance lets the workers carry the insecticide into the nest themselves, which is why one visit is usually enough.
