Wasps build nests in sheltered spots around the home, and in Noosa they are most active through the warmer months. Paper wasps make grey, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, pergolas, railings and letterboxes, and in dense shrubs and hedges. You might only notice the nest when someone brushes past it while gardening or hanging out washing. We ask where the nest is and how large it looks, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
Please keep people and pets away from the nest and do not try to knock it down or spray it yourself. Wasps defend their nest, and a disturbed nest can send many of them out at once. If the nest is near a door, a clothesline or a child's play area, tell us when you call so the crew can plan around it.
The crew identifies the nest, treats it so the wasps are no longer active, and removes the nest where it can be reached. They also check the rest of the property, as there is often more than one nest in the same yard. Wasps tend to build again in the same sheltered spots each season, so the crew can point those spots out for you to watch over the coming months.
