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

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

Why Moggill Sees So Many Wasps and Bees
Long summers and flowering gardens make Moggill ideal for wasps and bees.
Local Notes for Moggill
Moggill sits in West Brisbane, about 20 km from the Brisbane CBD. Our technicians are in the 4070 postcode regularly. Large homes on acreage and bush blocks, many with sheds, pools and long driveways.
Termites, possums and rodents are the main calls, and the bush around the house keeps spiders and paper wasps busy too.
Around Moggill we find nests under eaves and verandahs, in hedges and fences, inside letterboxes and meter boxes, and in wall cavities behind cladding. On a Moggill acreage, keep animal feed in sealed bins and sheds tidy; it cuts rodent numbers more than any bait.

What is at stake
Why Nests Should Be Left to Us
Most stings happen when someone tries to deal with a nest themselves.
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
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.

-

Wasp nests treated and removed. Bees collected where possible.
-
4

-

Pricing
Wasp and Bee Removal Prices in Moggill
A paper wasp nest under the eaves is quick. A hive inside a wall takes longer. These things set the price.
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 Moggill FAQs
What people ask us most before they book.
Ask us something else
How quickly can you remove a nest in Moggill?
On most days we can get to Moggill the same day. Nests near doors, paths and play areas are given priority.
What pests are most common in Moggill?
Termites, possums and rodents are the main calls, and the bush around the house keeps spiders and paper wasps busy too.
What should Moggill homeowners look out for?
The things we find most often around Moggill are termites in old trees, posts and sheds, possums from the bushland and river, rats around sheds and feed stores and paper wasps around sheds and outbuildings. On a Moggill acreage, keep animal feed in sealed bins and sheds tidy; it cuts rodent numbers more than any bait.
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 Moggill?
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.
