Do you need to remove it?

Wasp nests die off naturally by late autumn and are not reused. If a nest is out of the way and nobody is allergic, you can leave it. Treat it if it is near a door, window, path or play area, or if anyone in the home has a known allergy to stings.

Why not do it yourself

Disturbing a nest can provoke many wasps at once. A pest controller uses protective gear and an insecticide dust or spray at the nest entrance, and the nest usually dies within a day or two. Bees are different: they are not usually destroyed, so a pest controller will identify them first.

How much does wasp nest removal cost?

Checkatrade's 2026 guide puts wasp control for one nest at about £75 to £200, averaging £137.50. Leeds City Council also treats wasps for residents, though its standard all visits price does not apply to wasps. See our pest control cost guide.
