Paper wasps build their grey, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, in pergolas, behind shutters and inside letterboxes around Toowong. The nests start small in spring and can grow through summer, and the wasps will defend them if someone gets close. Hedges, clotheslines and play equipment are common trouble spots, since people brush past them every day.
The crew we book treats the nest and removes it where it can be reached, so the area is usable again. They also check for other nests nearby, as wasps often build more than one around the same home. Nests tucked inside wall gaps, letterboxes or thick hedges can take a little longer, and the crew will talk you through what they plan to do before they start.
- Eaves, window frames and roof edges
- Pergolas, patios and carports
- Hedges, shrubs and fence lines
- Letterboxes, sheds and outdoor furniture
Please do not try to spray or knock down a nest yourself. Keep children and pets inside and away from the area until the crew arrives. When you call, tell us where the nest is, roughly how big it looks and whether it is high up, so the crew brings the right gear and ladders for the job.
If anyone is stung and feels unwell, call 000 in an emergency or see a doctor. We give you upfront pricing before anything is booked, and wasp jobs can often go in same-day or next-day where the run allows. Once the nest is gone, keep an eye on the same spot in the weeks after, as wasps sometimes try to rebuild in sheltered corners.
