Safety Warning: Never attempt to remove a wasp nest using a stick, spray can or water. Unlike bees, wasps sting repeatedly and will swarm aggressively when threatened — this can be life-threatening for anyone with an allergy. Our certified team arrives the same day and removes nests completely safely.

Found a massive hive under our eaves on a Sunday. Martin had a technician at our door within three hours. Professional, thorough and the hive was completely removed. Outstanding service — would not hesitate to call again.

Reasonable pricing, same-day response and the job was done properly first time. They inspected our full roof cavity, not just the visible nest. The technician explained every step clearly before starting. Very professional.

My daughter is severely allergic to bee stings so I was extremely worried. Martin came the same afternoon, treated the area with great care and gave us a full prevention report. I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough.

Don't Wait

Wasp Nests Double in Size Every Few Weeks

A nest the size of a golf ball in early spring can hold thousands of aggressive wasps by mid-summer. European wasps — Melbourne's most dangerous species — don't die off in winter the way other wasps do. Early action means simpler removal, lower cost and far less risk to your family.

Prevention

How to Prevent Wasp Infestations

Never Attempt DIY Nest Removal

Using a spray can, stick, water or any improvised tool on a wasp nest triggers an immediate, aggressive colony defence. Wasps sting multiple times and attack in numbers. Always call a licensed professional — it is the only safe option.

No aerosol or fly sprays
No sticks, tools or brooms
No water blasting or heat

1
Seal All Entry Points

Wasps enter through gaps in roof eaves, wall cavities and ventilation openings. Seal cracks with appropriate mesh or caulk, particularly around the roofline, under eaves and around pipe penetrations.

2
Secure Food & Bin Areas

European wasps are drawn to protein and sweet foods. Keep bins sealed with tight-fitting lids, cover outdoor food immediately and pour canned drinks into a glass before consuming outside.

3
Inspect Property Regularly

Check roof eaves, garden sheds, fence posts and underground spots monthly — especially through spring and summer when colonies are growing fastest. Early nests are golf-ball sized and far easier to treat.

4
Call at the First Sign of Activity

Wasps flying repeatedly in and out of the same spot is a clear sign of an active nest nearby. Call us immediately — a one-hour job now can prevent a dangerous, large-scale removal later.

Yes — particularly if anyone nearby has a known or unknown allergy. A single sting can trigger anaphylactic shock, which is potentially fatal without immediate medical treatment. Even for non-allergic people, disturbing a nest can cause a mass attack. European wasps — the most common species in Melbourne — can sting multiple times without dying, which significantly increases venom exposure. We recommend calling a professional the moment you identify a nest on or near your property.
We strongly advise against it. Store-bought sprays only kill wasps on contact — they don't penetrate the nest or reach the queen. If the queen survives, the colony rebuilds. European wasp nests are particularly dangerous to approach without full protective gear and specialist equipment. Many of our callouts come from homeowners who were stung attempting DIY removal. A professional treatment is safer, faster and more cost-effective in the long run.
We offer same-day service across all Melbourne suburbs, 365 days a year including weekends and public holidays. In most cases, we dispatch a technician within a few hours of your call. For urgent situations — such as a nest near a child's play area or a business entrance — tell us when you call and we will prioritise your job accordingly.
Yes. We use only APVMA-approved insecticidal products that are targeted specifically at wasps. Once the treatment area has dried — typically within a couple of hours — it is completely safe for children, pets and wildlife. Our technician will give you clear re-entry instructions before leaving your property so there is no guesswork.
The most common locations we find nests include roof voids, wall cavities, under eaves, inside garden sheds, in hollow fence posts and underground in garden beds. European wasps frequently nest underground, which makes them especially hard to locate without experience. Paper wasps tend to build open, papery umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and on pergola beams. If you are seeing wasps repeatedly entering or exiting a specific spot, a nest is almost certainly active nearby.
Cost depends on the size of the nest, its location and the level of access required. We provide a fully itemised, upfront quote after our free on-site inspection — no hidden charges and no call-out fee. Accessible above-ground nests are straightforward. Underground or in-wall nests require more specialist work and are priced accordingly. Calling earlier always means a smaller nest, a simpler job and a lower cost.
Yes. Every wasp treatment comes with a written clearance report and a service guarantee. If wasps return to the same treated site within the guarantee period, we come back at no additional cost. We also treat pheromone residue left by the original nest — a step many competitors skip — which significantly reduces the chance of a new colony establishing in the same location.
