Found a Nest or a Swarm? Do This First
A wasp nest by the door or a swarm in the garden in Wilston? 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
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.
-
Then call us on 07 3916 7673. Answered day and night, with same day visits on most days.

Local Notes for Wilston
Wilston (QLD 4051) is part of North West Brisbane, about 4 km from the Brisbane CBD, and it is on our regular run. Queenslanders, post-war weatherboard homes and renovated character houses fill most streets, with a few newer townhouses near the main roads. Big jacarandas, mango trees and mature gardens are common.
Possums in roof voids and termite inspections for character homes are the main jobs, with rats around fruit trees and compost in the cooler months.
Around Wilston we find nests under eaves and verandahs, in hedges and fences, inside letterboxes and meter boxes, and in wall cavities behind cladding. Pick up fallen mangoes and stone fruit every few days in summer; it is the main thing that brings rats down from the roof into the kitchen.
What to watch for around Wilston
- Possums under lifted roof sheets and gable ends
- Termites in timber stumps and garden sleepers
- Roof rats feeding on mangoes and fallen fruit
- Ants trailing in from garden beds after rain

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.
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.

Pricing
Wasp and Bee Removal Prices in Wilston
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 Wilston FAQs
What people ask us most before they book.
Ask us something else
How quickly can you remove a nest in Wilston?
On most days we can get to Wilston the same day. Nests near doors, paths and play areas are given priority.
What pests are most common in Wilston?
Possums in roof voids and termite inspections for character homes are the main jobs, with rats around fruit trees and compost in the cooler months.
What should Wilston homeowners look out for?
The things we find most often around Wilston are possums under lifted roof sheets and gable ends, termites in timber stumps and garden sleepers, roof rats feeding on mangoes and fallen fruit and ants trailing in from garden beds after rain. Pick up fallen mangoes and stone fruit every few days in summer; it is the main thing that brings rats down from the roof into the kitchen.
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 Wilston?
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.
