Wasps become a real problem the moment a nest sits near a doorway, roof space, or where children and staff pass. A single nest can hold up to 4,000 wasps, and disturbing it without the right equipment gets people stung.
Elis provides fast, safe wasp nest removal — our technician locates the nest (including hard-to-reach roof, soffit and cavity nests), treats it with a professional-grade product, and confirms the colony is dead before leaving.
Wasps are genuinely useful pollinators and reduce pest populations by feeding insects and caterpillars to their larvae, so a nest well away from people is best left alone. When it isn’t, we deal with it properly.
A nest well away from people can usually be left alone — call us and we’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in.
Wasps construct their nests in eaves, roof spaces, trees, walls and soil banks — generally elevated, sheltered locations. The nest is a series of six-sided cells made from a paper-like substance the colony creates by chewing wood and plant fibres, typically reaching around 30cm in diameter and hosting up to 4,000 wasps by late summer.
The Common Wasp (Vespula vulgaris) and the German Wasp (Vespula germanica) are the two species found throughout the island of Ireland, and both are handled the same way.

The most common location — often only noticed once traffic at the soffit picks up.
Entry through a small gap in brickwork or render, with the nest built out of sight.
Quiet, dry and undisturbed — ideal conditions for a queen in spring.
Exposed nests near seating areas, play equipment or boundary paths.
Easy to disturb accidentally with a mower or strimmer — a common cause of multiple stings.
Sealed voids in furniture and play equipment are prime spring nesting sites.
Three stages, usually completed in a single visit.
We identify the species — Common and German wasps are most frequent in Ireland — and locate the nest, including cavity and roof-void nests.
Free · no obligationA targeted professional insecticide is applied directly to the nest entrance; foraging wasps carry it inside and the colony dies off.
Full protective equipmentActivity stops within hours to a day; we advise when it’s safe and whether the nest itself should be removed.
Clear aftercare advicePractical advice from our technicians while you wait for a visit.
This is general guidance, not medical advice — if you are worried about a reaction, contact a doctor or emergency services.
Every job is quoted up front with no surprises — clean, fast, discreet and cost-effective. For active nests near entrances we prioritise same-day or next-day visits. Call or request a free quote for a price on your specific nest.
Elis also handles ant infestations — garden ants indoors, and flying-ant swarms in summer. We treat nest sites and entry points, not just the trail you can see, so they don’t come straight back. Ask about ant control when you call.
