Paper wasps thrive in the leafy gardens and wide eaves of Tarragindi homes. Their grey, honeycomb-style nests hang under eaves, pergolas, clothesline covers, play equipment and in dense hedges, and they grow larger as spring turns into summer. Wasps defend their nest hard, so many people only find one after getting stung while mowing, pruning or hanging out the washing.
Leave the nest alone until the crew arrives. Knocking it down or spraying it with a household can often brings wasps out in numbers. When you call, tell us where the nest is, how big it looks and how easy it is to get to. The crew we book treats the nest, lets activity settle and then removes it, checking nearby for any others. A wasp visit usually covers:
- Eaves, gutters and roof overhangs
- Pergolas, carports and clothesline covers
- Hedges, shrubs and fruit trees
- Play equipment, cubby houses and letterboxes
- Nearby areas checked for more nests
Until the visit, keep children and pets clear of the area and avoid mowing or using power tools nearby, as vibration can set wasps off. Anyone who reacts badly to stings should stay well away. In early spring, it is worth walking around the house and garden every couple of weeks to spot small nests while they are easy to deal with. Wasps often return to the same sheltered spots each year, so the eaves and pergolas that had nests last season are the first places to check.
You hear the price before the work begins. It depends on how many nests there are and how high or tucked away they sit. For wasp nest removal in Tarragindi, call 07 3543 7771 and we will book a local team.
