Understanding the Problem
Wasps are a normal part of Brisbane’s warm outdoor environment, but when they nest too close to people or pets, they can become aggressive and dangerous. Wasp stings can cause severe allergic reactions, stings are painful and can occur repeatedly.
Common nesting areas include:
- Roof spaces and gutters
- Fence lines, pergolas, and eaves
- Trees and shrubs
- Sheds and play areas
Our wasp removal service focuses on identifying the exact location of the nest and choosing the safest, most effective treatment option.
Our Process
1. Inspection – We start by locating the nest and identifying which wasp species you’re dealing with. Correct identification is essential, as treatment may differ.
2. Treatment and removal –
For wasps, we apply safe, targeted treatments that eliminate the colony at the source.
3. Prevention – Once the nest is removed, we inspect your property for potential entry points or attractants and provide practical advice to stop future infestations.

Frequently Asked Questions – Pest Control
When should I call for wasp nest removal?
Professional wasp nest removal is recommended when nests are large, difficult to access, or located in high-risk areas such as near doors, walkways, patios, or children’s play spaces. Nests hidden inside walls, roof cavities, or underground should always be handled by trained technicians. If anyone in the household has a known allergy to stings, professional removal is essential due to the increased health risk.
Small, visible nests may sometimes be addressed without professional help, however wasps can become aggressive quickly. Any attempt should be done cautiously and only when activity is low, such as after dark. Even in these cases, professional removal is often the safest and most reliable option.
Is DIY wasp nest removal safe?
A wasp nest can usually be identified by its material, shape, location, and activity level. Many nests are made from a paper-like substance created from chewed wood fibres, while others are constructed from dried mud or hidden underground. Common locations include roof eaves, trees, wall cavities, sheds, and garden areas.
A key indicator is frequent wasp movement, with wasps repeatedly entering and exiting a single spot. You may also notice buzzing sounds coming from walls, ceilings, or outdoor structures, particularly during warmer months when wasp activity increases.
Because nests can vary by species and may be hidden from view, professional inspection is recommended if you are unsure or concerned about safety.
Home treatments frequently fail to eliminate the entire colony, which can result in the nest returning. There are also added hazards when nests are elevated or hidden, such as falls or accidental exposure to chemicals that may affect children, pets, or the surrounding environment.
Because of these risks, professional wasp nest removal is generally the safest and most reliable option, especially when the nest is large, difficult to access, or its activity level is uncertain.
Should I call pest control for a nest I found near my house?
In most cases, it is recommended to contact a licensed pest control professional if you discover a nest near your home. Nests belonging to pests such as wasps, termites, rodents, or birds can pose safety, health, or legal risks if handled incorrectly. Attempting removal without proper identification or equipment may increase danger or fail to resolve the underlying issue.
Some pests, such as termites, require specialist treatment to address the full colony and prevent structural damage. Wasp nests can contain large numbers of insects and may become aggressive if disturbed. Bird nests may be protected under wildlife regulations, making unauthorised removal illegal. A professional can correctly identify the nest, advise on legal considerations, and apply a safe, effective solution.
If you find a nest, it is best to avoid disturbing it, observe from a safe distance, and seek professional advice to ensure the situation is handled safely and correctly.
What do I do if the nest is big or hard to reach?
If a nest is large, located high up, or hidden inside walls, roof spaces, or trees, the safest option is to contact a professional pest control service. Large or difficult-to-access nests can contain many insects and may trigger aggressive behaviour if disturbed, increasing the risk of multiple stings or injury.
Until professional help arrives, keep a safe distance from the nest and avoid activities nearby that may cause vibration or noise. Children and pets should be kept well away, and the nest should not be sprayed, sealed, or interfered with.
Because of the safety risks involved, professional removal is strongly recommended for any nest that cannot be easily accessed from the ground or whose size or activity level is uncertain.
Are wasps actually dangerous, or can I leave them alone?
Wasps are not usually aggressive on their own and will often ignore people if left undisturbed. In some situations, it is possible to live alongside them safely, particularly if their nest is well away from everyday activity.
However, wasps can become dangerous when they feel their nest is threatened. They are territorial, can sting multiple times, and may attack in groups if disturbed. This creates a higher risk around homes, especially during warmer months when colonies are most active. Wasps also pose a serious concern for anyone with allergies, as even a single sting can cause a severe reaction.
If a nest is located near doorways, outdoor living areas, children’s play spaces, or inside walls or roof cavities, professional removal is recommended. In low-traffic areas where the nest poses no immediate risk, leaving it alone may be a reasonable option until activity naturally reduces.
