Wasp Nest Removal in Richmond upon Thames: what we see locally
With Richmond Park, Bushy Park, Kew Gardens, Ham Common, Barnes Common and miles of riverside, Richmond upon Thames is one of London's busiest boroughs for wasps. Nests appear in lofts, roof tiles, sheds, boathouses and hedges from spring.
We're especially busy in Ham, Petersham, East Sheen, Teddington and Hampton, where large gardens back onto parks and the river. Our technicians treat the nest entrance safely, and the colony usually dies within a day or two.
In late summer, wasps become a nuisance at riverside pubs in Richmond and Twickenham and at outdoor tables in Kew and Barnes, drawn to sweet drinks and food. A nest in a nearby roof or outbuilding is usually the source.
