Hornet nest removal in Hitchin
European hornets are now seen regularly across Hertfordshire, and we get a steady stream of hornet nest removal calls from Hitchin and the surrounding villages (Ickleford and Offley) every summer.

Treatment is the same £99 fixed price as a wasp nest, with the same guarantee.
