Local wasp nest removal at a Glasgow home by Strathclyde Pest Control.

Why you need professional Wasp control

Wasps aren’t just a nuisance — stings can be painful and dangerous, and active nests around rooflines, sheds, soffits and wall voids quickly become aggressive if disturbed. DIY sprays rarely reach the queen or the inner cells, so activity often returns.

At Strathclyde Pest Control, we provide safe, effective, and fully licensed wasp nest treatments across Glasgow, East Kilbride & nearby — delivered by a local specialist and backed by practical advice to help prevent re–infestation.

🔍 How to Tell If You Have a Wasp Nest

Wasps are most active on warm, bright days. Typical signs include:

Repeated flight to the same point
Steady traffic in and out of a gap in soffits, roof tiles, vents, cladding or a shed.

Papery nest or comb
Ball-shaped, grey/brown “papery” nest in lofts, garages, eaves, bird boxes or behind fascia.

Buzzing in walls or loft spaces
A low drone from a void, especially mid-afternoon on sunny days.

High wasp numbers outdoors
Clusters around decking, bins, compost, fallen fruit, or outdoor seating.

Chewed wood fibres
Wasps scrape wood to make nest paper — look for pale scuff marks on fences or sheds.

When to Call a Professional

You’re seeing constant wasp traffic into the same gap at the roofline or shed.

The nest is in a loft, wall void or soffit that’s hard (or unsafe) to reach.

There are children, pets, or allergy concerns in the home.

DIY sprays haven’t worked, or activity returns after a day or two.

Safety first: Please don’t block entry holes, poke the nest, or use ladders near active flight lines. If anyone shows signs of a severe reaction to a sting, seek medical advice (see NHS guidance on insect stings).

Seasonal Monitoring Service 🛠️

Had repeat nests year after year? We can schedule seasonal checks (late spring through autumn) to spot early activity, apply targeted treatments when needed, and advise on simple proofing for vents and roofline gaps. Ideal for properties with previous nests or sensitive sites.

Our Wasp Control Process

Survey & Identification

Ben (our lead technician) carries out a targeted survey to confirm it’s wasps (not bees), locate the active entry point(s) and the nest position (loft, wall void, soffit, shed, etc.). He’ll assess access and safety before any treatment is started and explain the plan clearly.

Safe, Targeted Treatment

We apply a professional-grade treatment (dust or liquid, depending on the site) that reaches deep into the nest and targets the queen and workers. Ben uses the right applicators for height/void work and keeps treatments safe for families and pets.

Results & Revisit Window

Most nests are neutralised within 24–48 hours as returning workers carry the treatment inside. If there’s unusual access or a secondary nest, we’ll arrange a revisit and take care of it promptly.

Advice & Proofing

We’ll point out entry gaps (soffit vents, lifted tiles, gaps behind cladding) and suggest simple proofing, plus seasonal tips (bin hygiene, fallen fruit, covering sweet drinks outdoors) to reduce activity next year.

Not sure if it’s wasps or bees?

Wasps and Bees are often mistaken for each other. Bees are beneficial and usually best left alone while wasps can become a pest and often need professional help..

Seasonality: Wasp Activity at a Glance

Understanding when wasps are most active can help you spot problems early and avoid peak-season risks. Nests grow rapidly through the warmer months, so treating them at the right stage makes removal quicker, safer, and more effective. Here’s a simple guide to when you’re most likely to see wasp activity around your home or business:

Apr–May — Low–Rising: queens emerge; early nest building
Jun — Medium: growing nests; more foraging
Jul–Sep — High/Peak: largest colonies; stings more likely
Oct — Falling: nests decline; opportunistic foraging
Nov–Mar — Minimal: nests abandoned (not reused)

Calum Hutchinson

After 3 months of hell I contacted Ben to arrange vermin proofing of my home. Having rats under my decking which had then found their way into my loft I was at my wits end. I had already worked with 2 different pest control companies neither of which suggested finding how the rats were accessing my home. Ben surveyed my home and quickly discovered a massive gap under the French doors covered up by the decking. Ben returned a few days later and made an amazing job of filling the gap with breeze blocks and steel wool. I am now on my 6th night of no noise from the loft. For those of you who are suffering with vermin in your home , you will know how much it affects your health. Ben is a total professional with a calm persona which really helps when you are living on your nerves. His work is first class and is a total gentleman. Work was very reasonably priced,
done quickly and to an excellent standard. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Ben for helping me feel safe in my home again.
