Wasp nests tend to show up around Brisbane in spring and summer, often under eaves, pergolas, balcony railings and letterboxes, or tucked inside shrubs and hedges. Paper wasps build small grey nests that hang from a single stalk, and they get defensive when people come close. A nest by the back door or the clothesline can make parts of the yard hard to use.
We do not suggest trying to knock a nest down yourself. When you call, we ask where the nest is, roughly how big it is and how high up. The crew we book then treats the nest and removes it once the wasps have been dealt with. They wear protective gear and work at a time when most of the wasps are at the nest, which is usually early morning or late in the day.

Keep children and pets inside while the crew works, and stay well back from the nest area until they tell you it is clear. It is common to see a few wasps returning to the spot for a day or so. They should drop away quickly once the nest has gone.
Homes in Brisbane with big gardens, sheds or plenty of outdoor structures often get new nests each season, so it is worth walking around the yard every few weeks in summer.
