Get Rid of Wasp Nests - Safely and Quickly
If you’re based in South Devon and struggling with wasps nesting in your eaves, lofts, or garden sheds, you’re not alone. Wasps (Vespula vulgaris) are social insects recognised by their black and yellow stripes, often seen flying in and out of small holes, or heard buzzing from inside walls and ceilings.
Wasps building nests near your home or business can pose a serious risk of painful stings and allergic reactions — and in rare cases, anaphylaxis. They’re especially drawn to sugary foods and bins, which makes them a nuisance around outdoor seating, BBQs, and bins — especially during summer when behaviour becomes more aggressive. This can make outdoor spaces uncomfortable or even dangerous to use.
That’s why Vanquished Pest Control specialises in discreet, professional wasp nest removal and hornet nest removal services. We live and work right here in beautiful Devon, so we understand the wasp problems that locals face. Whether you’re a homeowner, a business owner, or manage a public space, we’re here to help you stay safe and wasp-free.
Wasp nests can appear in a variety of locations — including roof spaces, wall cavities, garden structures, or even underground burrows. If you’ve noticed increased wasp activity near your property, it’s time to act before nests grow and the risks multiply.
Common Wasp Issues in Devon
-
Aggressive wasp nests near homes and businesses
Wasps nesting close to doors, windows, eaves, and outdoor dining areas pose a sting risk for families and customers alike. You may also hear a buzzing sound coming from walls or ceilings — a common sign of nearby nest activity
-
Increased wasp activity during summer months
As the weather warms, wasp numbers multiply rapidly. They become more territorial and aggressive, especially near rubbish bins and food sources.
-
Allergic reactions to wasp stings
Wasps can cause serious health issues for allergic individuals, including life-threatening anaphylaxis, making prompt removal critical.
-
Damage to property from nest construction
Nests built in soffits, attics, and wall cavities can weaken structures, especially if left untreated into late summer.
-
Blocked drainage from nesting materials
Nest debris often blocks gutters and downpipes, leading to water overflow, damp issues, and potential interior damage.
Our Wasp Nest Removal Process
1
Inspection and Assessment
We carefully inspect your property to locate active wasp nests — whether in eaves, lofts, wall cavities, or sheds — and evaluate the level of infestation. This helps us build a tailored, safe plan that reduces risk to people and pets
2
Customised Removal Plan
Based on the species (typically Vespula vulgaris) and nest behaviour, we develop a bespoke removal strategy that prioritises safety, efficiency, and humane treatment — especially for properties with children or vulnerable individuals.
3
Professional Removal
Our trained technicians use protective gear and licensed insecticides or non-toxic methods (where possible) to remove nests quickly and discreetly, without disrupting your home or business.
4
Follow-up and Prevention
We offer monitoring, seasonal treatments, and expert advice to help prevent re-infestation — especially in high-risk zones like soffits, bins, or garden structures.
