Telescopic Inspection Pole
4m carbon pole with a phone mount, so you can look at a nest without climbing to it.
This is an inspection tool, not a removal tool. It extends to 4 metres and carries a phone or an action camera on the end, so you can photograph a nest under an eave or in a soffit from the ground and work out what you are actually dealing with before anyone goes up a ladder. Most of the bad outcomes in this hobby start with someone on a ladder, at height, surprised.

Using it properly
- Photograph from directly below, never from a ladder
- Work at dusk when foragers have returned and activity is lower
- If the nest is bigger than a football, stop and call a professional
- Never use a pole to knock down an active nest
Before you use any of this on a nest: read
when to call a professional. Protective equipment reduces risk. It
does not remove it, and it is no help at all to someone with a sting allergy.
