Wasp Nest Removal Roslin – Bin Store Wasp Nest Safely Treated and Removed
🐝 Wasp Nest Removal Roslin
Saltire Pest Control recently attended a property in Roslin after the homeowner reported a significant increase in wasp activity around their bin store. The problem had become more than just an inconvenience, as the customer had already suffered a wasp sting and was unable to safely access the bins or put out household waste for collection.
Following an inspection, we discovered an active wasp nest attached to the underside of the bin store lid. Due to its location, anyone opening the store risked disturbing the colony and triggering an aggressive response from the wasps.
Inspecting the Wasp Nest in the Roslin Bin Store
As with all Wasp Nest Removal Roslin callouts, we began by carrying out a detailed inspection to identify the nest location and assess the level of activity. The nest was situated directly beneath the lid of the bin store, meaning it was disturbed every time the customer attempted to access their bins.
This type of location can be particularly problematic as wasps view repeated movement around the entrance to their nest as a threat. This often results in increasingly aggressive behaviour and a higher risk of stings.
The images below show the location of the infestation and the nest itself.

Professional Wasp Nest Treatment in Roslin
To ensure the nest was dealt with safely, Saltire Pest Control attended wearing full personal protective equipment, including specialist protective clothing, gloves, mask and face protection.
A professional-grade insecticide was then applied directly to the nest, allowing the treatment to penetrate the colony and eliminate the wasps effectively. Professional products are specifically designed to provide rapid results while reducing the risk of further wasp activity around the property.
Once the treatment had taken effect, the nest was carefully removed from the bin store to restore safe access for the customer.
Results and Benefits for the Homeowner
The treatment was highly successful, and the customer was able to safely use the bin store again without fear of further stings. Access to household waste bins was restored immediately following completion of the work.
By arranging treatment as soon as the problem became apparent, the homeowner avoided what could have become a much larger infestation later in the season. Wasp colonies can expand rapidly during the summer months, making early intervention the safest and most cost-effective solution.
Removing the nest also eliminated the risk of family members, visitors or delivery drivers accidentally disturbing the colony when accessing the bin area.
