Got a Wasp Or Hornet Problem in Southampton?
The most important thing is: don’t approach the nest. Wasps are defensive insects and will sting repeatedly if they feel threatened. A single disturbed nest can contain thousands of wasps.
Step away, keep children and pets indoors, and give Paul a call. He’ll talk you through what he’s seeing, advise on next steps, and arrange a visit at a time that works for you — often the same day.
Our commitment goes beyond eradication. If a simple, cost-effective alternative is available, we’ll tell you. You’ll also receive a detailed report outlining all actions taken, formulations used, and photographs where appropriate. We prioritise safety too—working in a pet-friendly manner and avoiding unnecessary use of toxic treatments. For us, great customer service isn’t about chasing quick cash, but about building trust and delivering lasting peace of mind.

- Professional insecticidal treatment applied directly to the nest
- Clear guidance on what to expect in the hours following treatment
- Advice on how to reduce the risk of future nests

FAQs
How long does wasp nest treatment take?
Most treatments take between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the location and accessibility of the nest. Paul will give you an honest estimate when he arrives.
Do wasps come back after treatment?
Once treated, the colony will die out within 24–48 hours. Wasps never reuse an old nest, so the treated structure won’t be reoccupied. However, a new queen may build a fresh nest nearby the following year — Paul will advise on any areas worth monitoring.
Is treatment safe for children and pets?
Yes. Solent Pest Control takes a pet-friendly approach as standard, using targeted treatments that minimise unnecessary exposure. Paul will advise you to keep children and pets away from the treated area for a few hours after the visit — that’s usually all that’s needed.
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?
Not usually. In most cases, treatment is carried out externally or in an enclosed space like a loft. Paul will let you know in advance if anything specific is required.
Can you treat a wasp nest in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t usually prevent treatment, but Paul will always let you know if conditions affect the visit. He’d rather rearrange than rush a job and leave you worse off.
When is wasp season in the UK?
Queen wasps emerge from hibernation in early spring (March–April) and begin building new nests. Worker wasps become noticeable from June onwards, with colonies growing throughout summer and peaking in August and September. By late autumn, most colonies naturally die off — but that’s a long time to share your garden with an active nest.
What should I do if I find a nest inside my house?
Close off the affected room or area if you can, and avoid disturbing the nest. Then call Paul. Internal nests — particularly those in wall cavities or between floors — need careful assessment before treatment to ensure the colony is fully eliminated and you’re not left with a problem you can’t see.
