Where Wasps Nest Across Wandsworth
Roof tiles and eaves in Tooting and Balham
The tight terraced rooflines around Tooting and Balham give wasps a warm, undisturbed gap under a ridge tile or in the eaves, often above a bedroom where the buzzing is heard through the ceiling before the nest is ever seen from outside.
Sheds and gardens around Battersea and Earlsfield
The larger gardens around Battersea and Earlsfield give wasps a ground-level option too — inside a shed roof, under decking or in a compost heap left undisturbed since spring. These nests are usually spotted from the traffic of wasps alone rather than any visible structure.
Signs to Look For
- A grey, papery nest the size of a football or larger, usually by late summer
- Wasps repeatedly entering and leaving one spot — a loft vent, eave or air brick
- A low buzzing or rustling sound from inside a wall, loft or shed
- More wasps than usual around bins, fruit trees or open windows
