Harpenden is just up the road from us — we usually reach AL5 within the hour. We cover the High Street, Southdown, Batford and the lanes out toward Kinsbourne Green.

Whether you've searched for "wasp nest removal near me", "wasp exterminator in Harpenden" or "AL5 pest control", you're in the right place. We're a small, local team covering AL5 every day in season — no national call centre, no surprise add-ons, and no VAT on top of the £99 price. If you can hear wasps in the wall, see them coming out from under a roof tile, or you've spotted a paper nest in the loft, shed or garden, call us and we'll usually be with you the same day.
Hornet nest removal in Harpenden
European hornets are now seen regularly across Hertfordshire, and we get a steady stream of hornet nest removal calls from Harpenden and the surrounding villages (Kinsbourne Green and Wheathampstead) every summer. Hornets are larger than common wasps, sound much deeper in flight, and often nest in tree cavities, disused chimneys, sheds, stables and outbuilding eaves.
Treatment is the same £99 fixed price as a wasp nest, with the same guarantee. If you suspect an Asian hornet sighting in Harpenden, please don't approach the nest — call us and report the sighting to the UK Asian Hornet Watch app. We carry the kit and PPE to deal with hornet nests safely on the first visit.
