Wasp Nest Removal in Barnet: what we see locally
Barnet's large gardens, parks and green belt land make it a busy borough for wasps. Nests appear in lofts, under roof tiles, in sheds and hedges from late spring, and grow through the summer, peaking in August and September.
We're especially busy in the leafier parts of the borough, such as Totteridge, Mill Hill, Arkley and Hadley, where large detached houses and mature gardens give wasps plenty of places to nest. Our technicians treat the nest entrance with professional insecticide, so the colony dies off within a day or two.

Stopping wasps nesting in Barnet homes
In spring, check sheds, summerhouses, lofts and the eaves for small nests, which are far easier to treat. Make sure loft vents and air bricks have intact grilles. In late summer, keep bins closed, clear fallen fruit and avoid leaving sweet drinks outside.
