European wasps are a common problem in Wallan from late summer into autumn. Nests start small in spring and grow through the warmer months, often out of sight in the ground, in wall cavities, in roof spaces, under eaves or inside sheds. By the time most people notice them, there can be thousands of wasps coming and going from a single hole.
Please do not try to block the hole or pour anything into it yourself. Wasps defend the nest and can sting many times. When you call 03 7053 9828, tell us where you have seen them going in and out and how busy the spot is. The crew we book treats the nest directly, and removes it where it can be reached. In the new estates around Wallan, nests often turn up in retaining walls, under decking boards and in the gap between garden edging and paths, so it pays to watch where the wasps land before you ring.
- Ground nests in lawns, garden beds and retaining walls
- Nests in wall cavities and roof spaces treated through the entry point
- Nests under eaves, decks and pergolas treated and removed where reachable
- Sheds, garages and machinery bays checked on acreage blocks
- Advice on outdoor food, drinks and pet bowls that draw wasps in
Wasps are drawn to meat, sweet drinks and fallen fruit, so keeping these covered outside helps cut down how many turn up at barbecues. Keep kids and pets away from the nest area until the crew has been, and hold off mowing near a ground nest.
