Wasp Nest Prices

[Dirksdonuts 79]

Wow

 

I went to a customer today who told me to check out the Big "R" website and see how much he was quoted for a wasp nest.

 

£282 after the £20 online discount so that would of made it £302.............

 

Try the website by putting in your postcode etc and see what it brings up

 

Absolutely ridicoulous

[nod 285]

They don't want them that's why

[DIDO.1 22,844]

I'd rather see 10 companies like that than 1 charging £25!

 

I company that I did a bit of work for charge plus vat and they get the work in, they invest the money in advertising and get plenty of work.

[shropshire mole 190]

£40-£45 no vat in just fine for me

[Dirksdonuts 79]

I think its great they don't want them..........Send them all my way please

 

£ plus Vat better than £302 inc Vat surely

I’ve got a little black & white stripy bugger near me who has dug out nests in two of my customers’ gardens and not charged them a penny.

 

Had a call to say wasps are still flying round the original hole and the remains of the nest in one garden.
What do you think; spray what’s left of the nest? Put some dust down the hole? Or will the remaining wasps just die soon anyway?

Go and treat it 'just in case' and knock a couple of quid off...

Money for nothing, it's a no brainer. Go treat em.

I would have a gentle dust around the entrance to try and get rid of few remaining wasps. and charge accordingly.

 

Why anybody would want to dig out wasp nests for fun is beyond me, unless they are a fisherman!! Told that the grubs are great for fishing bait

[Nicepix 5,650]

The grubs and the nests make good chub bait. I used to dig them out when I was a teenager. We used smoke tablets placed at the entrance to the nest and covered with a clod of earth. Left it for an hour then dug the whole lot out.

Nice price if you can get it , I charge the national average and am very happy with that , i'll take all I can get gladly.

[lurchers 2,861]

We charge £36

[outandabout 27]

£45 for new customers, £40 for regulars here

[myersbg 1,385]

I charge a lot more than that and haven't had one refusal up to now.

Highest price last year i heard was from Eco lab, it was £800 and they would only do it with 2 men and a cherry picker, the customer obviously turned them down, the cheeky buggers rang back a hour later and had dropped the price to £600.

I now have a good contract on the place.

[ratattack 111]

We charge £36

That's silly cheap! You could add £20 to that and still be busy! There's no point being cheap and having to do twice the work for the money you could get for 1 nest.

 

We are more than £36 and get very few refusals!!

 

It's time this industry as a whole learned to charge decent money, you wouldn't get a plumber out for that money. Too many out there working for next to nothing.

 

It's not a dig btw just interesting to see different prices.
