Wasp nests around Palmwoods often start small under an eave, in a shed roofline or tucked into a garden hedge, and can grow quickly once the weather warms up. A nest close to a doorway, clothesline or kids play area is worth dealing with sooner rather than later, since activity tends to increase through the season. European wasps tend to build large, papery nests in cavities such as wall voids or under decking, while paper wasps build smaller, open nests hanging from eaves or branches.
Call 07 3543 7770 and tell us where the nest is and roughly how big it looks from a safe distance. We book a local crew who covers Palmwoods, and pricing is given over the phone before anyone is booked in for a visit.
On the day, the crew will assess the nest location and size before treating it, working from a safe distance and timing the visit for when wasps are least active. Areas around the treated nest are usually left undisturbed for a period afterward while activity settles. If the nest sits somewhere hard to reach, such as high under a roofline or inside a wall cavity, the crew will factor that into the visit and explain what is involved before starting.
- Nest location and size checked before any treatment begins
- Eaves, sheds, hedges and fence lines around the property inspected
- Treatment timed to when wasp activity is lowest
- Guidance on keeping the area clear until activity settles
- A return check offered if a second nest is suspected nearby
Do not disturb a nest yourself. For a sting reaction call 000 in an emergency or speak to a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. Call 07 3543 7770 to book a local crew for your Palmwoods property.
