Treating a wasp nest costs £75–£200 in the UK, and about £119 is a usual single-nest price. The height and position of the nest drive most of the cost — one in a shed is quick, one high under the eaves or deep in a roof void needs ladders or extension poles — along with any extra nests treated.

What moves the price
- Height of the wasp nest — a nest under the eaves or in a chimney needs ladders or long lances to reach safely
- Position — a nest in a wall cavity, loft or roof void is harder to treat than one hanging in a shed
- Number of nests — a second wasp nest on the same visit costs much less than the first
- Urgency — same-day and weekend call-outs in the peak of late summer cost more
- Removing the nest — most visits treat the nest and leave it, as physically taking it out adds time
- London and the South East — wasp nest treatments there cost more than in the rest of the UK
Domestic and garden services prices in the UK are up 24% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Domestic services and household services, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical wasp nest removal would have cost about £60 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7E6 →

How to pay less
- Book wasp nest removal early in summer while the nest is still small and easy to reach
- Have every wasp nest on the property treated on one visit rather than separate call-outs
- Ask your council whether it treats wasp nests before booking a private pest controller
Before you book
- Check the insects are wasps, as honey bee swarms are usually collected by local beekeepers instead
- Keep children and pets away from the wasp nest entrance until the treatment has worked
- Do not block the nest hole after treatment, as trapped wasps may chew into the house instead
- Ask whether the wasp nest price covers a return visit if the activity has not stopped
Wasp Nest Removal cost: questions people ask
£75–£200 per nest, about £119 typical. A low nest in a shed or bush costs least; a high or hard-to-reach nest in London costs most.
Usually under an hour on site. The colony then dies off within a day or two as the wasps carry the treatment into the nest.
Honey bees are generally collected rather than killed, and many local beekeepers will take a swarm. Bumblebee nests are best left alone where possible, as they die off naturally at the end of summer.
Some councils in England and Wales still treat wasp nests, often for a fee. GOV.UK can point you to your council's pest service.
Bee swarm collection, repairs to soffits or tiles, and physically removing an old nest are not part of a standard treatment.
