What are people charging for wasp nests?

65 ...75 seems fair now a days......it was 40 quid for two decades 

I was charging £50, more if I had to use the ladders, but haven't been doing wasps for a while. Back self employed now and with the price of fuel going through the roof I think £70-£75 seems about right.

Found one in my loft today. About the size of a grapefruit and easy to get at, so hopefully won’t cost too much to remove. I’d have a go at removing it but I’m a bit of a sh!tebag when it comes to wasps.

The size doesn't  make much difference .  The operator's  travel time, fuel etc are the same .

I'm a bit soft though. There are are times when a call out to a tiny nest that the householder could've  dealt- with  with a rolled up newspaper brings out the charitable streak in me. I'll never be rich l guess🙂

Mind you l managed to do nine nests today without a single tug of the heartstrings.

9 is good for June. It's looking like it's going to be a massive year for them. 

What are people treating them with now we have no ficam? 

 

Yes  the season kicked-in on schedule for these parts , but the nests are far more advanced and numerous than l would expect .

Another 9 today.

I was getting a lot of call backs with Vulcan last season but all good with it so far this year.
