Wasp Nest Removal in Islington: what we see locally
Even in dense Islington, wasps find plenty of places to nest. Garden squares, Highbury Fields, Gillespie Park and the New River Walk provide food, while the roofs, eaves, air bricks and back gardens of Georgian and Victorian terraces provide shelter.
We treat nests in roof voids, wall cavities, sheds, garden walls and on roof terraces and balconies across Canonbury, Highbury, Barnsbury and Tufnell Park. The colony usually dies within a day or two.
