European wasps are a regular late summer and autumn call in Endeavour Hills. Nests start in spring and grow through the warmer months, often out of sight in the ground, in retaining walls, under decks, in wall cavities or in the roof space. By autumn, a single nest can hold thousands of wasps, and they get more defensive as the season goes on.
Please do not block the entry hole, pour anything into it or try to dig the nest out. European wasps defend the nest in numbers and can sting more than once. When you call 03 7053 9851, tell us where you have seen them flying in and out and how busy the spot is. The crew we book treats the nest directly through the entry point and removes it where it can be reached. Nests in wall cavities are treated from outside, so there is no need to cut into the wall.
- Ground nests in lawns, garden beds and retaining walls
- Nests in wall cavities and roof spaces treated through the entry point
- Nests under decks, eaves and pergolas treated and removed where reachable
- Garden sheds and garages checked for smaller nests
- Advice on outdoor food, drinks and fallen fruit that draw wasps in
European wasps are drawn to meat, pet food, sweet drinks and fallen fruit, so keeping these covered outside cuts down how many turn up in the backyard. Until the crew has been, keep kids and pets away from the nest area, hold off mowing near a ground nest, and check open cans and cups before drinking outdoors.
