Report
I called Chelmsford City Council to get a wasps' nest destroyed as it was close to the entrance door. The operative from Pest Defence who are the Council's sub-contractors, came on time, was polite and efficient. He explained what he needed to do and what precautions we should take for a couple of hours after the treatment he applied. Excellent service
