Wasp Nest Removal in Lewisham: what we see locally
Lewisham's parks and woods, including Blackheath, Hilly Fields, Mountsfield Park, Beckenham Place Park, the Horniman Gardens and Sydenham Hill Wood, give wasps plenty to feed on. Nests appear in lofts, roof voids, air bricks, sheds and hedges from spring.
We're especially busy in Forest Hill, Sydenham, Lee and Brockley, where Victorian houses have long gardens and mature trees. The colony usually dies within a day or two of treatment.
In late summer, wasps become a nuisance at outdoor tables in Brockley, Forest Hill and around Lewisham Market, drawn to sweet food and drink. A nest in a nearby roof or air brick is usually the source.
