Wasp Nest Removal in Croydon: what we see locally
Croydon's southern suburbs, with their large gardens, woodland and chalk downland, are some of the busiest areas in London for wasps. Nests appear in lofts, under roof tiles, in sheds and in hedges from late spring and grow through summer.
We're especially busy in Purley, Kenley, Coulsdon, Sanderstead and Selsdon, where big gardens back onto woodland and commons. In the north of the borough, nests are often found in the lofts and air bricks of Victorian terraces.
