Found a Nest or a Swarm? Do This First

Nests around Arana Hills homes tend to be found by accident: under the eaves, in a hedge, behind a shutter or inside the letterbox.

Keep well back and keep others away until we arrive.

Stung and finding it hard to breathe?

Call 000. Swelling of the face or throat, wheezing or dizziness after a sting can be anaphylaxis, a medical emergency.

  1. 1

    Stay back three metres

    Wasps defend their nest. Keep children, pets and visitors away from the area.

  2. 2

    Do not spray or knock it down

    Spraying, hosing or hitting a nest sets off a mass attack.

  3. 3

    Leave swarms alone

    A swarm on a branch is resting and usually calm. It may move on, or settle into a wall cavity.

  4. 4

    Close windows nearby

    Shut windows and doors close to the nest so wasps do not come inside.

  5. Then call us on 07 3916 7673. Answered day and night, with same day visits on most days.

Wasp and Bee Calls From Arana Hills

Wasps and bees turn up in all sorts of places. These are the ones Arana Hills homes report.

"A grey nest under the eaves"

Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, railings and pergolas.

"Bees going in and out of the wall"

A steady line of bees at a gap in the brick or cladding means a hive inside the cavity.

"A ball of bees on a branch"

A spring swarm resting while scouts look for a new home. Call before it moves into your wall.

"Wasps coming out of the lawn"

European wasps nest underground, often found by a mower or a curious dog.

"Wasps at the barbecue"

Sweet drinks and meat attract wasps. A nest is usually close by.

"The kids got stung at the letterbox"

Letterboxes, meter boxes and play equipment are favourite nesting spots.

Why Arana Hills Sees So Many Wasps and Bees

South East Queensland gives wasps and bees a long, warm season and plenty of flowers.

Local Notes for Arana Hills

Arana Hills (QLD 4054) is part of North West Brisbane, about 10 km from the Brisbane CBD, and it is on our regular run. Low-set brick homes and split-level timber homes from the 1970s make up most streets, often with a pool, a garden shed and a deck facing the bush.

Termites, possums and general pests are the main jobs here. The bush edge brings more spiders, wasps and the odd bee swarm than suburbs closer in.

Around Arana Hills we find nests under eaves and verandahs, in hedges and fences, inside letterboxes and meter boxes, and in wall cavities behind cladding. Split-level homes in Arana Hills often have a hidden step in the slab; keep garden beds and mulch well below the weep holes along that wall.

What to watch for around Arana Hills

  • Termites tracking under split-level slabs and decks
  • Possums in roof voids above bush-facing rooms
  • Paper wasps under eaves and pergolas
  • Black house spiders around windows and sheds

A long nesting season

Paper wasps build from early spring and colonies grow right through summer.

Spring swarming

Honey bee colonies split in spring and send out swarms looking for a dry cavity, often a wall or roof.

Gardens full of food

Flowering trees, fruit and outdoor eating areas feed bees and wasps for most of the year.

What is at stake

Why Nests Should Be Left to Us

Most stings happen when someone tries to deal with a nest themselves.

01

Multiple stings

Wasps sting repeatedly and call others to defend the nest.

02

Allergic reactions

For some people a single sting is a medical emergency.

03

Ladders and stings

Falls from ladders while being stung are a common injury.

04

Hives in walls

Wax, honey and dead bees left in a wall attract pests and stain plaster.

How it works

How We Handle Wasps and Bees

Every nest is different. Here is how a typical job runs.

  1. 1

    Identify

    Wasp, honey bee or native bee, and where the nest sits.

  2. 2

    Price

    A fixed price for removal, plus any hive extraction or repairs.

  3. 3

    Remove or collect

    Wasp nests treated and removed. Bees collected where possible.

  4. 4

    Clean and seal

    Comb removed from cavities and the entry gap closed.

  5. 5

    Check

    We confirm activity has stopped and give you tips to avoid new nests.

Rehouse bees first

Bees pollinate Arana Hills gardens. Where a swarm or hive can be reached safely, we collect it. Treatment is a last resort for colonies that cannot be reached.

Pricing

Wasp and Bee Removal Prices in Arana Hills

A paper wasp nest under the eaves is quick. A hive inside a wall takes longer. These things set the price.

Call 07 3916 7673 Get a quote

What sets the price

  • Type of insect. Wasps, fresh swarms and hives that have settled in are each handled differently.

  • Where the nest is. Height, ladders, wall cavities and roof access add time.

  • Size of the nest. Larger nests and hives need more work to remove.

  • Repairs. Opening and sealing a wall or roof is priced on the day.

You get an upfront price once the technician has seen the job, and that is the price you pay. No hidden costs.

Questions

Wasp & Bee Removal Arana Hills FAQs

What people ask us most before they book.

Ask us something else

How quickly can you remove a nest in Arana Hills?

On most days we can get to Arana Hills the same day. Nests near doors, paths and play areas are given priority.

What pests are most common in Arana Hills?

Termites, possums and general pests are the main jobs here. The bush edge brings more spiders, wasps and the odd bee swarm than suburbs closer in.

What should Arana Hills homeowners look out for?

The things we find most often around Arana Hills are termites tracking under split-level slabs and decks, possums in roof voids above bush-facing rooms, paper wasps under eaves and pergolas and black house spiders around windows and sheds. Split-level homes in Arana Hills often have a hidden step in the slab; keep garden beds and mulch well below the weep holes along that wall.

Do you kill bees?

Only as a last resort. Swarms and reachable hives are collected and rehoused. Treatment is used only when a colony is somewhere it cannot be reached safely.

How much does wasp removal cost in Arana Hills?

It depends on the insect, where the nest is and how big it is. You get the price before we start. Hives in walls are priced after we see the access.

Can I remove a wasp nest myself?

We advise against it. Wasps sting repeatedly when the nest is disturbed, and ladders make it more dangerous. Keep back and call us.

Will the wasps come back?

The same nest will not. Paper wasps do build again in sheltered spots, so we point out the likely places and how to discourage them.

There is a swarm on my tree. Will it leave?

It might, within a day or two. If it moves into a wall or roof, removal becomes a bigger job, so it is best to call while it is still on the branch.
