Start With Where It Is
In Ely, with its rows of Victorian and older terraces as well as newer estates, the first practical question is whose roof, wall or garden the nest is actually in. The answer changes who needs to be told, but not what you should do in the next few minutes: keep away, keep the entrance open, and get it treated.
| Where the wasps are going in | What to do |
|---|---|
| Your own roof, wall or shed | Watch from a distance, note the spot and book treatment |
| A neighbour's property, close to the boundary | Let them know, and keep your windows shut on that side |
| A rented home | Tell the landlord or agent, and say you want it treated promptly |
| A shared roof void or party wall | Speak to the neighbour; one visit can usually deal with it |
The Terrace Problem
Terraced houses share walls and often share a roof space. A nest in one loft can send wasps into a neighbour's bedroom or kitchen, and a nest that appears to be in your wall may really be coming from next door. This is why it helps to be exact about what you see. Which side of the house? How high? Is it a roofline, an air brick or a gap in the brickwork?
Older brickwork and lime pointing give wasps easy ways in. The most common sites are under the eaves, through air bricks into the wall cavity, and in the roof space. All of those are treated from outside at the entrance.
Do not block it, even if it is coming indoors. If wasps are appearing in a room, closing the gap on the outside traps them, and they will look for another route, which is often the one into your house. Keep the room's window shut and ring us.
What to Do in the Meantime
- Keep windows closed on the affected side, particularly upstairs
- Do not use a ladder against the entrance
- Do not swat at wasps in the room. Open a window on the other side of the house and let them find their way out, if you can do so safely
- Keep pets away from the area
Treatment and Cost
A technician finds the entrance, treats it with an insecticidal dust and leaves instructions about keeping clear while the colony dies down. That usually takes a day or two. The price in Ely is £90 fixed, confirmed before booking, with no call-out fee and a free re-treat if the problem returns within 14 days. See the Ely service page and the cost guide for details.
Looking After Yourself Meanwhile
In a tall Ely terrace, wasps often wander through a loft hatch or round a bedroom window in the evening. A rolled towel along the bottom of the door is a harmless way to keep them in one room, and keeping the window shut stops more coming in.
Landlords and agents can ring with the property address and the price is agreed up front. Call 01223 902388 or WhatsApp with where the wasps are going in.
Common Questions
Who pays if the nest is in a rented house in Ely?
That depends on your tenancy agreement, so tell the landlord or agent first. We can quote the fixed price to whoever is arranging it.
The nest seems to be next door. Can you still treat it?
We need access to the entrance, which may be on their property. It helps to speak to your neighbour first and arrange it together.
Wasps are coming through a bedroom ceiling. What now?
Close the room door, keep windows shut, and do not seal anything. Call us so the entrance outside can be treated.
Does the treatment affect the neighbours' side of a terrace?
The dust is applied at the entrance, and it works on the colony. It is not spread through the party wall, but let neighbours know a visit is happening.
