A steady stream of wasps flying into a gap under the roof tiles, a vent or a split in the fascia usually means a nest inside the roof space. These nests are out of the weather and out of sight, so they can grow for weeks before anyone notices. In New Farm we hear about them in older Queenslanders, in brick units with tiled roofs and in homes where timber around the roofline has shrunk or split.
The crew we book first watches the entry point to confirm where the wasps are going. They then treat the nest through the gap from outside or, if it is reachable, go in through the ceiling manhole and treat it directly. Where the nest can be reached, they take it out. They also point out which gaps to seal once activity has died down.
Do not plug the gap before the visit. Wasps that are shut in will look for another way out, and that can bring them inside through a downlight or exhaust fan. When you call, tell us where the wasps are entering, whether the home is one or two storeys and where the manhole is, and we will give you an upfront price before the visit.

Someone needs to be home if the crew has to use the manhole. Same-day or next-day visits are often possible where the run allows. To book roof wasp removal in New Farm, call 07 3543 7769 and describe where you see the wasps going in.
