Contacted Ian recently after discovering a wasps nest in an empty property I had purchased. Ian came out the same day to deal with it. The nest was v big from my experience. About a meter in length and literally hundreds of wasps coming out of it into the property. After a couple of treatments, they are now all gone and cleaned up. Prompt service, good price.
