On the hill north-east of the city, big villas and ordinary suburban streets bring different pests. We find the cause and treat it in Mapperley.
A Victorian villa in Mapperley Park offers tall chimneys, deep eaves and a roof space big enough to lose a nest in. Down the road, inter-war and post-war houses are smaller but have garages, extensions and loft hatches that give mice and wasps a way in. Exposed hilltop sites can also push rodents indoors once autumn sets in. Exposed tiles and loose pointing at the top of the building are common culprits, so we look upward as much as inside and around the garden.
We identify the pest before recommending anything, since the signs overlap. A wasp nest in a villa chimney needs a different approach to a mouse in a kitchen cupboard. After the visit you will have a free prevention survey, with notes on tiles, vents and any gaps around the house. Garages and extensions are often the weakest link, and we check the joins and thresholds, where mice and wasps both find ways into the main house.
Yes, particularly if the opening leads into the house. Nests expand through summer, and wasps can find their way indoors. Do not block it up yourself, as that can make things worse.
Often, because larger roof spaces and more hiding places make inspections longer and proofing more involved. We assess the building first and explain the approach before work begins. Because of the height, shape and access, villas can mean longer visits, but we explain what is needed first so you are never surprised by the work.
No. There are no call-out charges, and prices are fixed so you know what you are paying before we arrive.
A nest in a large villa roof can go unnoticed until late summer. Here is how to judge whether a Mapperley wasp nest needs treating now or can wait.
