Wasp Nest Removal in Barking and Dagenham: what we see locally
Barking and Dagenham's big parks and gardens, including Valence Park, Parsloes Park, Mayesbrook Park and Eastbrookend Country Park, mean wasps are a regular problem from late spring to autumn.
On the Becontree Estate, wasps commonly nest in lofts, under roof tiles and in garden sheds. As the colony grows through summer, the wasps become more aggressive, which can make gardens and patios unusable. We treat the nest entrance safely and the colony dies off within a day or two.

Stopping wasps nesting in Barking and Dagenham
Check your loft, shed and the eaves of your house in April and May, when queens are starting nests and they're still small. Make sure air bricks and roof vents have their grilles. In late summer, keep bins closed, clear up windfall fruit and cover sweet drinks when you're eating in the garden, as foraging wasps are drawn to sugar.
