Paper wasps build their small, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, pergolas, fences, letterboxes and shrubs all over the Sunshine Coast. They are most active from spring into autumn, and nests can grow from a few wasps to dozens over a season. Knocking a nest down yourself often ends with angry wasps and stings.
When you call, tell us where the nest is, how big it looks and whether it is easy to reach. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book treats the nest, removes it and checks the surrounding area for other nests that are easy to miss.
- Nests under eaves, gutters and pergolas
- Nests in hedges, shrubs and palm fronds
- Nests on fences, gates and letterboxes
- Nests inside sheds, garages and play equipment
- Spraying of common nesting spots to slow new nests
Before the visit, keep kids and pets well away from the nest and do not spray it or hose it. Tell us if the nest is high up, inside a wall, or in a spot that needs a ladder, as it helps the crew bring the right gear. Evening and early morning visits often suit wasp work, as more of the wasps are home. If anyone is stung and feels unwell, call 000 or ask a doctor.
We book crews for wasp nests across the Sunshine Coast, from beach houses to acreage sheds. If you are not sure it is a wasp nest, describe it on the call and we will talk it through. Call 07 3543 7771 to get a price and book a visit.
