Wasp Nest Removal by Antiva
Wasp nests can grow quickly through spring and summer, especially in roof voids, lofts, wall cavities, sheds, garages, and garden structures. Antiva provides professional wasp nest removal and treatment across Edinburgh, the Lothians, and Glasgow.
Do not block the nest entrance or attempt to remove an active nest yourself. Disturbed wasps can become aggressive and sting repeatedly.
Common Wasp Nest Locations
Roof voids, lofts, eaves, and soffits
Wall cavities and air bricks
Garages, sheds, summer houses, and outbuildings
Trees, hedges, banks, and garden structures
Commercial bin stores, beer gardens, yards, and roof spaces
If you can see steady wasp traffic entering the same hole, there is likely an active nest behind it.
Our Wasp Treatment Process
Inspection - confirm the nest location and access route
Risk assessment - consider height, access, occupants, pets, and public areas
Treatment - apply a targeted professional treatment to the active nest
Advice - explain what to expect after treatment and when to avoid the area
Removal - where appropriate and accessible, remove old nest material after activity has stopped
Many wasp nests can be treated in a single visit, depending on access and nest position.
Wasp Nests in Roofs and Lofts
Roof and loft nests are among the most common wasp call-outs. You may notice wasps entering under tiles, through soffits, or around gutter lines. Treatment targets the active entry point and nest area while reducing risk to occupants.
If you have a wasp nest in a roof, loft, or wall cavity, arrange professional treatment rather than sealing the entrance.
Wasp Control for Businesses
Wasps around customer areas, food premises, schools, care homes, hotels, bin stores, or outdoor seating areas can create immediate operational risk. Antiva provides fast wasp treatment for commercial premises and written documentation where needed.

Wasp Nest FAQs
Should I block the nest entrance?
No. Blocking the entrance can force wasps into other parts of the property and increase the risk of stings.
Can you remove the nest immediately?
Active nests are usually treated first. Physical removal depends on access and whether activity has stopped.
Do wasps reuse old nests?
Wasps do not normally reuse old nests, but similar voids can attract new queens in future seasons.
If you have found an active nest, request wasp nest treatment or check local availability.
