Wasp prevention is about making your place less attractive before a queen picks it in spring. Nothing keeps wasps away for good, but homes in New Farm that have fewer sheltered gaps, less easy water and fewer old nest marks tend to see fewer nests each season. It is a good next step after a nest is removed, while the problem spots are still fresh in your mind.
The crew we book walks around the house and points out the places wasps are likely to use, such as open gaps in eave linings, missing weep hole covers, cracked vent covers, gaps around pipes and deep lattice. Where it is a small job, they can seal gaps, fit mesh over vents and scrape off old nest stalks on the same visit. Anything bigger is a job for a builder or handyman.
You can do a lot yourself too. Empty pot plant saucers, fix dripping taps, keep bins shut, pick up fallen fruit and cover sweet drinks and pet food outdoors. From September, walk around the house every couple of weeks and look under eaves, verandahs and railings. Small nests found early are a much simpler job. We give you an upfront price for the visit before anyone comes out.
