Wasp Nest Removal in Kensington and Chelsea: what we see locally
Holland Park, Kensington Gardens on the borough's edge, Brompton Cemetery, the Chelsea Physic Garden and dozens of communal garden squares give wasps plenty to feed on. Nests appear in roof voids, under parapets, in air bricks, sheds and garden hedges.
We treat nests in the roofs of stucco terraces, on roof terraces and balconies, in mews houses and in communal gardens across the borough. The colony usually dies within a day or two of treatment, and we can work around garden users.
