Wasps build nests under eaves, in hedges, inside letterboxes, on pergolas, behind shutters and in garages, and a nest near a doorway or play area makes it hard to use the yard. Paper wasps are the most common in North Lakes, with grey, umbrella-shaped nests hanging from a short stalk. We book a nearby independent crew with the right gear to treat and remove the nest.
Please do not try to knock a nest down or spray it yourself, as wasps defend the nest and can sting several times. When you call, tell us where the nest is, roughly how big it looks and how high it is. The crew we book treats the nest first so the wasps are no longer active, then takes it down and checks the rest of the property for smaller nests starting nearby.

Wasp activity in North Lakes picks up through spring and summer as colonies grow, and a nest that starts small in September can be much bigger by January. Wasps are also drawn to fruit trees, open bins and sugary drinks outside. If anyone is stung and feels unwell, call 000 or speak to a doctor, or ring the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. The crew points out spots around the yard where new nests tend to start, like under eaves and inside letterboxes, so you can check them over the warmer months and call early if one appears.
