Found a Nest or a Swarm? Do This First
Around Marsden nests turn up under eaves, in letterboxes, in hedges and behind shutters, usually discovered the hard way by someone who walked too close.

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
Stay back three metres
Wasps defend their nest. Keep children, pets and visitors away from the area.

2
Do not spray or knock it down
Spraying, hosing or hitting a nest sets off a mass attack.

Leave swarms alone
A swarm on a branch is resting and usually calm. It may move on, or settle into a wall cavity.
-
4
Close windows nearby
Shut windows and doors close to the nest so wasps do not come inside.

Wasp and Bee Calls From Marsden
Wasps and bees turn up in all sorts of places. These are the ones Marsden 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.

Sweet drinks and meat attract wasps. A nest is usually close by.
"The kids got stung at the letterbox"

Multiple stings
Wasps sting repeatedly and call others to defend the nest.
Allergic reactions
For some people a single sting is a medical emergency.
Ladders and stings
Falls from ladders while being stung are a common injury.
Hives in walls

Questions
Wasp & Bee Removal Marsden FAQs
What people ask us most before they book.
Ask us something else
How quickly can you remove a nest in Marsden?
On most days we can get to Marsden the same day. Nests near doors, paths and play areas are given priority.
What pests are most common in Marsden?
Cockroaches, ants and termites keep us busy in Marsden, especially through the wet season.
What should Marsden homeowners look out for?
The things we find most often around Marsden are cockroaches in kitchens and laundries, ants under paths and pavers, termites in slab homes and fences and mice in garages in winter. Marsden homes should keep the garage door seal in good condition; it is the usual way mice get in.
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 Marsden?
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.
