Wasps inside a flat almost never mean a nest inside the flat. They mean a nest in the structure around it — and working out which part decides who deals with it.
Watch the outside of the building for steady two-way traffic at one point. Wasps entering a flat have almost always come from a nest in the roof void, a wall cavity or the eaves rather than from inside the flat.
Which often makes it a building matter — and in a converted or purpose-built block, the freeholder's or landlord's to deal with.
| Where wasps appear | Likely nest location |
|---|---|
| A top-floor flat, repeatedly | The roof void above |
| Around a ceiling light fitting | The void directly above, entering at the fitting |
| Near a loft hatch | The roof void |
| At one window only | A nest in the eaves or wall nearby |
| Behind a boxed pipe run | A wall cavity |
| In a communal hallway | The roof void or a shared wall |
| A ground-floor flat, in one room | Under a flat roof, a bay, or in an air brick |
A wasp in the bedroom of a top-floor flat has usually walked in from the roof void through a gap around a light fitting. It did not fly through the window.

A ceiling rose or downlight is often the only gap between the void and the room, and wasps orient to light.
Several a day repeatedly in one room means a nest in the structure. One or two on a warm day may just be coming through an open window.

Almost always in the structure around it — the roof void, a wall cavity or the eaves — rather than inside the flat itself.
Stand back and watch the building on a warm afternoon, looking for steady two-way traffic at one fixed point. That is a nest.
A ceiling rose or downlight is often the only gap between the roof void and the room, and wasps orient to light.
A nest in the roof void, eaves or a communal area is in the structure, which is normally the freeholder's or landlord's rather than the individual tenant's.
Yes. In a converted semi the roof void may be open across the party wall and above several flats, so one treatment can resolve all of it.
No. Blocking an active nest's route makes them chew a new way out, often into a room. Treat first, close the gap after the season.
Close the door to that room and block the gap beneath it, keep the light off at night and the windows closed, and move anyone vulnerable out of that room.
