Wasp Nest Removal in Southwark: what we see locally
Dulwich Park, Dulwich Wood, Peckham Rye, Burgess Park, Southwark Park and Nunhead Cemetery give wasps plenty to feed on. Nests appear in lofts, roof voids, air bricks, sheds and hedges from spring.
We're especially busy in Dulwich, East Dulwich, Nunhead and Camberwell, where Victorian and Edwardian 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 along Bermondsey Street, Lordship Lane and around Borough Market, where they're drawn to sweet drinks and food. A nest hidden in a nearby roof void or planter is usually the source.
