Once you have found the nest, the next step is getting it off your house with as little fuss as possible. In New Farm, nests turn up under verandah ceilings, along eaves and gutters, on paling fences, inside letterboxes, on shed doors and in thick garden shrubs. A small nest in spring can become a large, busy one by late summer. Nests near doors, clotheslines and play areas are the ones to deal with first.
The crew we book checks the nest and the type of wasp, then treats it with a product suited to where it sits. After the wasps settle, they remove the nest, scrape the stalk or clay off the surface and bag the lot. Clearing the stalk matters, because old attachment points can draw a new queen back to the same spot.
When you ring, tell us how many nests you can see, roughly how big they are, how high they sit and whether the ground below is clear. We use that to give you an upfront price before the visit and book a crew. If you find more nests before the visit, just tell us and the crew can check them on the same trip.
