Fast, Safe & Affordable Nest Removal in Manchester & North UK
Wasps and hornets are aggressive, seasonal pests that become active during spring and summer across the UK. Their presence around homes, lofts, sheds, and gardens can pose serious health risksβespecially if they feel threatened. A nest can house thousands of stinging insects, and even a small disturbance can provoke an attack. Thatβs why professional removal is essential. At PEST NIL, we provide safe, fast, and budget-friendly wasp, hornet, and bee nest removal services for homes and businesses in Manchester and North UK.
Our BPCA/RSPH Level 2 certified technicians are trained to identify nests, assess risk, and remove infestations using modern, eco-safe techniques. Whether you have a nest in your attic, garage, eaves, or garden, we can eliminate the threat quickly and professionallyβwith minimal disruption to your routine.
π Common Wasps & Hornets in the UK
There are two main wasp species found in UK homes: the Common Wasp and the German Wasp. Both are black and yellow, around 2 cm in length, and highly territorial. Hornets are larger and more aggressive but behave similarly when protecting their nests. All wasps can sting multiple timesβunlike beesβand attacks can result in serious allergic reactions or anaphylactic shock. If you hear loud buzzing from your loft or wall cavity, itβs time to call PEST NIL.
π Where Wasps Nest
Wasps choose sheltered locations with easy outdoor access. Common nesting sites include: lofts, garages, garden sheds, cavity walls, chimneys, bushes, and hollow trees. Nests are made from chewed wood and can grow large quickly, especially during summer. Wasps returning to the same spot in large numbers is a clear sign thereβs a nest nearby.
π Signs of Infestation
Buzzing sounds in the roof or walls, visible nest material in eaves, high wasp activity in the garden, and frequent wasp sightings indoors are all indicators. Our expert team can confirm infestation levels, treat nests, and provide preventive follow-up guidance.
π Dangers of a Wasp Sting
Wasp stings are painful and can cause severe allergic reactions. Unlike bees, wasps donβt lose their stinger and can sting repeatedly. During late summer, wasps become more irritable due to fermenting fruit consumption, increasing their aggression. For sensitive individuals, stings can be life-threatening. Always seek immediate medical help if swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing occurs.
π Bee Nest Removal
Bees, while beneficial to the environment, can sometimes build hives in inconvenient or hazardous areas of your property. PEST NIL uses humane and strategic removal methods when bees pose a health risk or structural concern. We only treat bee nests as a last resort and prioritise relocation when possible. We manage infestations of:
- π Honey Bees β Found in roofs or walls; identifiable by their orange-black colour
- π Bumble Bees β Large and fuzzy, non-honey-producing but strong pollinators
- π Masonry Bees β Small and orange; can burrow into brickwork, causing damage
π§ͺ Bee & Wasp Nest Treatment Process
Our pest controllers apply insecticidal dust, aerosols, or sprays directly to the nest or entry points. For high-level nests, we offer non-invasive treatments without requiring expensive access equipment. If needed, we offer re-spray follow-ups at no extra cost within 48 hours.
π Bee Sting Safety
Bee stings, while rare, can still be dangerous. If stung, remove the stinger quickly, wash the area, and apply hydrocortisone cream if necessary. Seek emergency help if symptoms worsen. For more, refer to the NHS guide on bee stings.
