Wasp Nest Treatment in Aylesbury

Wasp Nest Treatment in Aylesbury

Aylesbury has a great deal of newer housing, and newer housing means tighter roofs. The building itself is often a harder target than an older one, which pushes the nests outwards.

So a large share of the work here is not in the house at all. It is in the shed, the summer house, the fence, the bird box and the bin store — the things that went up with the estate and have not been disturbed since.

In the garden

Sheds, Fences and Bird Boxes

Four garden sites come up again and again, and all four are found the same way: somebody starts doing something in the garden in July and stops very quickly.

• The shed or summer house, almost always in the roof apex, entering at a gap in the boarding.
• A fence panel, in the gap between the boards and the capping rail, or where a panel meets a concrete post.
• A bird box that nothing nested in this spring.
• Under decking, or in a raised bed, entering at a gap at the edge.

The practical point is that these are all at head height or below, in the part of the garden people use, which makes them more dangerous than a nest in a roof even though they are usually smaller. A nest in a fence panel beside a path is worth dealing with early.

If you are about to strim, cut a hedge or lift decking in late summer, it is worth standing still and watching for a minute first.
