Paper wasps build their grey, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, pergolas, fence caps, pool fences, letterboxes and in thick shrubs around North Lakes. Nests can grow quickly through spring and summer, and they often end up right beside a doorway, clothesline or play area. If you have spotted wasps flying in and out of the same spot, there is probably a nest close by.
When you call, we ask where the nest is, roughly how big it is and how high off the ground. The crew we book arrives with protective gear, treats the nest so the wasps are no longer active, then removes it and treats the spot so wasps are less likely to rebuild there. Where there are several nests around the home, they will check the whole outside of the house, including under decks and along fences, while they are there.
Until the crew arrives, keep children and pets away from the area and avoid knocking or spraying the nest yourself, as that can stir the wasps up. If you have to walk near it, go early in the morning or late in the evening when the wasps are less active. If anyone is stung and feels unwell, call 000 straight away, or ask a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 for advice.
