Wasps commonly build nests under eaves, inside garden sheds, around outdoor furniture and in wall cavities across Albany Creek, particularly through spring and summer when new colonies are settling in. A small nest can grow quickly once the weather warms up, and getting close enough to deal with it yourself is not worth the risk, especially if the nest is up under the roofline or tucked into a wall cavity. A nest built close to a doorway, clothesline or garden path is especially worth dealing with promptly, since wasps become more defensive as the nest grows and more workers are out foraging during the day. Nests tucked into wall cavities or roof voids are often the hardest to spot early, since the only sign might be a handful of wasps repeatedly entering and leaving the same small gap.
When you call 07 3543 7771, we take down where the nest is and book a local crew to come out and treat it. The crew checks the property for other nests nearby before treating the one you have reported, since wasps often build more than one nest around a property once conditions suit them, particularly around sheds, fence lines and roof cavities. The crew also has a look at compost areas and fruit trees, since ripening fruit and food scraps can draw foraging wasps closer to the house.
