PLEDGEY 496 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I get a lot of local jobs off of 'Nextdoor' https://nextdoor.co.uk/ Had this message a couple of days ago; 'Hi xxxxx, I saw you commented on another post regarding removal of wasps. We are having a small issue with wasps at the moment and are after some help. I have a small plum tree in the garden which we have left the fruit on (stupidly) and now we have a lot of wasps attracted to it. Ideally I would just like someone with a suit to remove the fruit in the hope the wasps will disperse. I have looked for a nest around and don’t think we have one in the garden or house. Please let me know if you are able to help. I’m on - 078xxxxxxxx or 012xxxxxxxx ' I said I would be happy to come and have a look and if it's feasible I'll give it a go. Still hasn't got back. You just don't know what your gonna' see in them there Emails! 1 Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 I suppose the going rate is whatever you can get mate .Some folk just take first price given without shopping around . In the building trade I can’t be arsed to ring several firms to save a fiver so stick with the merchants I know . Quote Link to post
