🐝 Wasp Nest Treatment Barnton – Safe and Effective Pest Control
Saltire Pest Control was recently called to a home in Barnton, Edinburgh, after the occupants noticed heavy wasp activity around a Velux window. Wasps were entering the property and the volume of insects meant the window could not be opened safely; even the window cleaner was unable to access the area. Our brief was clear: provide fast, safe wasp control with minimal disruption.
Inspection & Diagnosis – Hidden Nest at a Velux Window
On arrival, we traced flight paths and identified a concealed cavity near the Velux frame being used as the nest site. The wasp nest itself was not visible, making direct removal impossible at this stage. Situations like this are common in roof voids and window reveals and require a targeted approach.

Treatment – Residual Insecticide Applied to Entry Point
We carried out a professional wasp nest treatment by applying a residual insecticide directly into the main entry point. This delivers the active ingredient deep into the hidden cavity, allowing for transfer back to the colony and neutralising the nest out of sight. Activity reduced rapidly, restoring safety and comfort indoors.
Results & Benefits
Following treatment, wasp numbers declined significantly and normal access to the window area was restored. The customer could ventilate the room again and schedule routine cleaning. Using a residual formulation meant the treatment continued to work within the cavity, helping prevent reactivation.
