Found a Nest or a Swarm? Do This First

A wasp nest by the door or a swarm in the garden in Tamborine Mountain? Do not try to move it yourself.

These steps keep everyone safe until the technician gets there.

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.

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

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

  3. 3

    Wasp nests treated and removed. Bees collected where possible.

Pricing

Wasp and Bee Removal Prices in Tamborine Mountain

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 Tamborine Mountain FAQs

What people ask us most before they book.

Ask us something else

How quickly can you remove a nest in Tamborine Mountain?

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

What pests are most common in Tamborine Mountain?

Termites in timber homes and garden timber, possums and rats in roof voids and spiders around verandahs are the most common calls on the mountain.

What should Tamborine Mountain homeowners look out for?

The things we find most often around Tamborine Mountain are termites in pole homes, decks and damp subfloors, possums and roof rats coming off the rainforest canopy, spiders around verandahs and cabins and cockroaches and ants moving indoors in long wet spells. Holiday cabins on Tamborine Mountain should be treated before the busy season; guests notice spiders and cockroaches first.

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 Tamborine Mountain?

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.
