Paper wasps build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, in pergolas, on fences and in garden shrubs, and they defend them when anyone comes close. They are common around bayside gardens with plenty of shrubs. In Redlands, nests often appear in spring and grow through summer. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a local crew to treat and take down the nest.
The crew arrives with protective gear and looks at where the nest sits and how many wasps are active. They treat the nest first, then remove it once the wasps are no longer active, and they check nearby eaves, sheds and shrubs for smaller nests that are just starting. Nests are bagged and taken away. Treating the nest before removing it lowers the chance of wasps swarming around the yard.

Please do not spray or knock down a nest yourself. Wasps can sting several times, and a disturbed nest can send many of them out at once. Keep children and pets away from the area until the crew has finished. If someone is stung and feels unwell, call 000 or ask a doctor, and for product questions, ring the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
When you call, tell us where the nest is, roughly how big it is and whether it is easy to reach. Nests high on two-storey homes around Redlands may need a ladder or pole. To book wasp nest removal, call 07 3543 7768 for upfront pricing and a local team, same-day or next-day where the run allows.
