Wasp Nest Removal in City of London: what we see locally
Wasps are less common in the City than in the suburbs, but they still find nesting places in roof spaces, plant boxes, roof gardens and the Barbican's gardens and lakeside planting. Garden squares and churchyards also provide food.
We treat wasp nests on roof terraces, balconies, window boxes and roof spaces across the City. Where people are being stung, such as outside a pub or office entrance, we aim to treat the same day.
Wasps are most noticeable in the City from July to September, when they're drawn to the sugary drinks and food at pub tables, outdoor cafés and markets such as Leadenhall. A nest hidden in a nearby roof void or planter is usually the source, and treating it quickly makes outdoor seating usable again.
