European Wasp removal in Canberra, Bungendore, Berry and nearby towns

We cover seven places in NSW and the ACT: Berry and Jamberoo on the coast, Wamboin, Bywong, Carwoola and Bungendore on the tablelands, and Canberra. Every job follows the same order: inspect first, then traps, trap servicing or live nest destruction. Our technicians are licensed and insured, and we do not harm bees. European Wasp numbers build from about mid-December and peak in late summer and autumn, so the earlier we find a nest, the smaller the job.

European Wasp control in Berry NSW

Berry is a busy Shoalhaven town, and its cafes, outdoor tables, gardens and nearby vineyards and farms give European Wasps plenty to feed on. Wasps are drawn to sweet drinks, food and fallen fruit, so that is where people meet them in summer and early autumn. Nests are often out of sight, either underground with only a small entrance hole or inside wall and roof cavities. We inspect the property and the flight lines, place professional traps where the wasps are actually feeding, keep them serviced through the season, and destroy live nests. We work at homes, holiday houses, cafes, cellar doors and rural blocks around Berry. For a nest on public land, contact Shoalhaven City Council.

European Wasp control in Jamberoo NSW

Jamberoo's valley farms, acreage and village blocks give European Wasps plenty of places to hide a nest: banks and holes in the ground, sheds, wall voids and tree stumps. A ground nest can sit unnoticed near a paddock gate or garden edge until someone mows over it. Wasps may forage up to about half a kilometre from the nest, so the one that's bothering you may live next door. We follow the flight line to the entry point before anyone gets stung, then trap, service or destroy the colony. We look after houses, farms and rural stays across the Jamberoo valley. For nests on public land, contact Kiama Council.

European Wasp control in Wamboin NSW

Wamboin's large, timbered rural-residential blocks have sheds, water tanks, woodpiles and plenty of bush. There are many places for a nest to grow for months without being seen. Wood heaps and sheds are also where mated queens shelter over winter. We walk the property, check roofs, outbuildings and ground holes, and follow the wasps back to the nest. Where the pressure is ongoing, we set up professional traps and keep them serviced through the season, so the late-summer build-up doesn't take over the yard. Live nests are destroyed by licensed technicians. Wamboin is in the Queanbeyan-Palerang council area; report nests on public land to the council.

European Wasp control in Bywong NSW

Bywong's homes, horse properties and hobby farms mean stock, dogs and people all spend time outdoors near where wasps feed and nest. European Wasp nests are often underground, and also turn up in rockeries, wall cavities and tree stumps. Uneaten pet food and open bins draw wasps in. We start with an inspection, find the nest where we can, and then set up traps, trap servicing or licensed nest destruction to suit the property. We don't use supermarket sprays and we don't harm bees. Bywong is in the Queanbeyan-Palerang council area; report nests on public land to the council.

European Wasp control in Carwoola NSW

Carwoola's rural lots, sheds and creek country, between Queanbeyan and Bungendore, give European Wasps shelter, water and room to nest. In our experience, creek lines and sheltered gullies are worth checking first. We look over the property, place traps where the wasps are actually flying, keep them working through the season, and destroy active nests with the proper gear. Nests can be in the ground, in wall or roof cavities or in tree stumps, and the wasps may be coming from a neighbouring block. That's why we look beyond the house. Carwoola is in the Queanbeyan-Palerang council area; report nests on public land to the council.

NSW

European Wasp control in Bungendore NSW

Bungendore is home ground. In town, European Wasps work the bins, outdoor tables and gardens around the cafes and shops. On the acreage around town, they nest in roofs, sheds and the ground. In our experience, creek lines around town are worth watching. We inspect, set professional traps on the flight lines, service them through the season, and destroy live nests. Destroying a nest before the new queens leave in autumn also helps reduce nests the following season. Bungendore is in the Queanbeyan-Palerang council area; report nests on public land to the council.

ACT

European Wasp control in Canberra, ACT

Across Canberra we work in backyards, schools, cafes with outdoor dining and new estates. Common Canberra nest sites include wall cavities, holes in the ground, roof voids, retaining walls and conifer trees. In buildings, the wasps can chew into plasterboard to enlarge the nest. The ACT Government treats European Wasp nests on ACT Government land, but a nest on private property is the owner's responsibility and should be removed by a qualified pest control operator. That is the job we do. We find the nest, trap the flight line or take the colony out, and advise on keeping food and bins covered.
