Paper wasps build their nests under eaves, in pergolas, along fence rails and inside shrubs around Coorparoo. The nests start small in spring and grow through summer, and they are easy to bump while gardening, hanging washing or mowing near the fence line. Some nests sit in gaps in the cladding or deep in thick hedges, where they are hard to spot until the wasps become active.
Trying to knock a nest down yourself with a broom or hose often ends with stings and an angry swarm. The crew we book treats the nest with the right gear, then removes it once the wasps are no longer active, which makes it less likely they rebuild in the same spot. The visit is usually short, but the crew looks around the whole yard while they are there.

- Advice on the spots wasps favour so you can catch new nests early
Before the visit, keep children and pets away from the nest area and tell us exactly where the nest is. If it is high up, mention the height on the phone so the right ladder comes along. For rental properties, point out outdoor areas like carports, clotheslines and back steps where people spend time, as nests there matter most.
We cannot give advice on stings. Call 000 if someone is seriously unwell, or ask a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. To book wasp nest removal in Coorparoo, call 07 3543 7767 and we will line up a local crew with upfront pricing at a time that suits you.
