Funny enough I was talking to a fellow window cleaner about this today and be said the same ,£45 for a few minutes work but said you need to have a license for the chemical they use!
Mind you there is not so many wasps as last year if any.

No license needed.

I went to killgerm and did a course on understanding the  H&S issues, once you done their one day course, you can purchase the gear.

I do it, but...last year, hardly any wasps, this year the same!!!

I charge £48 a nest BUT, be prepared to spend on advertising, there are a lot doing it!!
