Paper wasps build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, pergolas, fence rails and even inside letterboxes, and they become a real problem when they sit near a doorway or clothesline. In Mount Gravatt, nests tend to appear in spring and grow through summer. If someone in the house is allergic to stings, tell us when you call so it can be raised with the crew we book.
Please do not spray or knock down a nest yourself. Wasps defend the nest hard when disturbed, and several stings at once can be serious. The crew treats the nest with a product that works on contact, waits for activity to settle, then removes the nest so it cannot be reused. Nests high on the roofline may need a ladder or extension pole. Keep children and pets inside while the crew works, and they will tell you when it is fine to use the area again.

Wasps are attracted to sugary drinks, fallen fruit and pet food left outdoors, so clearing these away in the warmer months helps reduce new nests. It is worth walking around the outside of the house every few weeks in spring to spot small nests early, when they are easier to deal with. Homes on the leafy streets around the mountain often have large gardens where nests can go unnoticed for weeks.
