Wasp nests around Mount Gravatt turn up under eaves, inside garden sheds, in roof voids and tucked into thick garden growth, with paper wasps building small open nests and European wasps building larger enclosed ones, often underground or in a wall cavity. A nest close to a doorway, clothesline or outdoor entertaining area is usually the reason people call, since wasps become defensive once a nest is disturbed nearby.
The crew we book will identify the nest type before treating it, since paper wasp nests are usually treated directly while a suspected European wasp nest in a wall cavity or underground burrow needs a different approach and sometimes a return visit to confirm the nest is no longer active. Treatment is usually done from a safe distance using a targeted spray, and the nest is left in place afterwards rather than removed immediately, since disturbing a nest too soon can send remaining wasps looking for a new site close by.
Mount Gravatt properties with fruit trees, garden beds or compost bins tend to see more wasp activity over spring and summer, and checking eaves and shed corners before entertaining outdoors can catch a new nest early, while it is still small.
If you or someone in the household is stung and has a history of allergic reaction, or is showing signs of a serious reaction, call 000 or seek medical advice straight away.
