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.
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

Close windows nearby

Shut windows and doors close to the nest so wasps do not come inside.
Then call us on 07 3916 7673. Answered day and night, with same day visits on most days.

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 Wavell Heights FAQs

What people ask us most before they book.

Ask us something else

How quickly can you remove a nest in Wavell Heights?

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

What pests are most common in Wavell Heights?

Termites, possums and general pests are the regular calls in Wavell Heights, with rats in the cooler months.

What should Wavell Heights homeowners look out for?

The things we find most often around Wavell Heights are termites in stumps and under-house storage, possums in older tin roofs, cockroaches coming up from the subfloor and roof rats in winter. Wavell Heights homes with storage under the house should keep it off the ground and away from the stumps.

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 Wavell Heights?

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.
