Wasps build nests under eaves, in hedges, inside letterboxes, on pergolas and in sheds, and a nest near a doorway or play area makes it hard to use the yard. Paper wasps are the most common in Chermside, with grey, umbrella-shaped nests hanging from a short stalk. We book a nearby independent crew with the right gear to treat and remove the nest.
Please do not try to knock a nest down or spray it yourself. Wasps defend the nest and can sting several times. When you call, tell us where the nest is, roughly how big it looks and whether it is easy to reach. The crew we book treats the nest first so the wasps are no longer active, then takes the nest down and checks the surrounding area for any smaller nests starting nearby.

Wasp activity in Chermside picks up through spring and summer as colonies grow, and nests that start small in September can be much bigger by January. If anyone is stung and feels unwell, call 000 or speak to a doctor, or ring the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. Wasps are also drawn to fruit trees, open bins and sugary drinks left outside, so nests often appear near outdoor eating areas. The crew points out spots around the yard where new nests tend to start, so you can check them over the warmer months and call early if one appears.
