Wasp City

Jul 11, 2014 | House Clearances

Whilst doing a house clearance, Greenbox Removals came across a rather ominous group of wasps nests in a store room – 3 nests in total.

We let the client know and that, unfortunately, they would have to get pest control in there before we could finish the job – making sure that we’re not evicting any stingy tenants. From reading up about wasps habitats nests these sizes could hold up to 10000 of them, so disturbing them certainly wasn’t something that we were going to chance.

One of the three nests (pictured) was the size of a slightly deflated space-hopper. The photo doesn’t do it justice, I took it quickly and retreated super fast.

Never has a Leeds house clearance been so dangerous.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would definitely recommend Ed and his team. They helped us move house recently from Leeds to Gateshead. There was great communication throughout the process and they arrived promptly on moving day. They put us at ease with what can be a stressful process. They were reasonably priced too, charging a lot less than other quotes we had.
