Wasp Nest on Your Property Right Now? Do This First

In Kippa-Ring, paper wasps nest under eaves, carports and pergolas across Moreton Bay. Here is what to do in the next few minutes.

Someone stung and struggling to breathe?

Call 000 straight away. Swelling of the face or throat, dizziness or wheezing after a sting can be anaphylaxis, which is a medical emergency.

1
Move away and bring children and pets inside
Walk away calmly. Paper wasps chase for only a short distance if you do not swat at them.
2
Do not knock the nest down
Hitting it with a broom or a hose is how most people get stung, and the wasps rebuild in the same spot within days.
3
Do not spray from underneath
Standing below a nest with a can of spray puts you in the path of every wasp that drops off it.
4
Check before you trim or mow
Nests hide inside hedges, shrubs and palm fronds. Look first, especially in spring and summer.
5
Call us on 07 3544 9883
Nests grow quickly through the long warm season. Treated early, it is a quick job.

Where Are Your Wasps? Common Brisbane Wasp Problems

Where the nest is and what it looks like tells us the species and how it needs to be treated. Find yours below.

"A papery nest under the eaves"

Paper wasps. The nest is a grey, open comb hanging from a short stalk, with wasps resting on its face. They defend it when anything comes close.

"I got stung trimming the hedge"

Paper wasps often build inside dense shrubs, hedges and palm fronds, where the nest cannot be seen until it is disturbed.

"Wasps by the front door or clothesline"

A nest beside a door, a letterbox or the washing line gets bumped every day. These are the ones that sting most often.

"Mud tubes stuck to the wall or in the garage"

Mud dauber wasps build small clay nests on walls, in sheds and inside machinery. They are solitary and rarely sting, but the nests are messy and can block vents and equipment.

"A nest on the play equipment"

Cubby houses, swing sets and the underside of outdoor furniture give paper wasps dry, sheltered places to build, right where children play.

"Wasps coming in through the louvres"

Wasps looking for nest sites come indoors through open windows, louvres and gaps under verandah roofs, and sometimes start building inside.

Paper Wasp or Mud Wasp?

Brisbane has two kinds of wasp around most homes, and only one of them is a real stinging risk. Here is how to tell them apart from a distance.

Differences between paper wasps and mud wasps
	Paper wasp	Mud wasp (mud dauber)
Look	Slender with a narrow waist, tan or brown with yellow bands	Black, or black and yellow, with a long thin waist
In flight	Slow, with long back legs dangling	Usually alone, carrying mud or a spider
Nest	Grey papery comb with open cells, hanging from a stalk	Tubes or lumps of dried mud stuck to a wall
Colony size	A dozen to a few dozen wasps on one nest	One female per nest
Where	Eaves, verandah roofs, pergolas, fences and shrubs	Walls, sheds, garages, vents and machinery
Temperament	Stings readily and repeatedly if the nest is bumped	Rarely stings

Fuzzy, golden-brown and clustered in a ball? Those are bees. See our bee removal service in Brisbane. Not sure? Send us a photo and we will tell you.

Why Moreton Bay Has So Many Wasps

Paper wasps nest under eaves, carports and pergolas across Moreton Bay.

A long, warm season

Wasps start building in early spring and keep going well into autumn. With no cold winter to knock them back, nests grow quickly and new ones are started for most of the year.

Eaves, verandahs and pergolas

Queenslanders with deep verandah roofs, open eaves, pergolas, carports and pool fences give paper wasps endless dry, sheltered places to hang a nest, usually right beside a door or walkway.

Lush gardens

Dense hedges, palms and shrubs hide nests until someone starts trimming. Gardens also supply the caterpillars, spiders and nectar that wasps feed on, so they have every reason to stay close to the house.

Why a Wasp Nest Should Not Be Left or Knocked Down

A wasp nest does not stay small, and a broom usually makes things worse. Here is what happens next.

Repeated stings

A paper wasp can sting again and again, and several defend the nest at once. Multiple stings are painful for anyone and dangerous for people with allergies.

The nest keeps growing

A nest the size of a coin in September can be as big as a hand by summer, with dozens of wasps on it. The longer it is left, the riskier it is to treat.

Risk to children and pets

Nests on play equipment, low eaves and garden shrubs sit at exactly the height children and dogs reach. Most stings happen by accident.

They rebuild in the same spot

Knocking a nest down leaves the wasps alive and the site attractive. Unless the wasps are treated, a new nest appears in the same place within days.

How Our Wasp Removal Works

The goal is simple: treat the wasps, remove the nest and make the spot less attractive. Our technicians explain each step and the price before they start.

Treated first, then removed

Taking a nest down with the wasps still on it is how people get stung. We treat the wasps on the nest first, remove it once they are dead, and then treat the surface so survivors and newcomers do not rebuild there. Technicians wear protective gear and keep the area clear while they work.

1
Call or send a photo
We confirm it is wasps, ask where the nest is and how close it is to people.
2
Same day visit
A technician checks the nest and looks around the eaves, fences and garden for others.
3
Upfront price
You get the price, including any access work, before anything starts. No hidden charges.
4
Nest treated and removed
The wasps are treated on the nest while the area is kept clear, then the nest is taken down.
5
Prevention
Favourite nest sites are treated, and we explain how to spot new nests early.

How Much Does Wasp Nest Removal Cost in Kippa-Ring?

The price depends on how many nests there are and how hard they are to reach. One paper wasp nest under a low eave is the quickest job. Several nests around a two-storey home, or a nest inside a roof or wall, takes the most work. These are the things that set the price:

Number of nests. One nest, or several around the property.

Height and access. Ground level, a high eave, or inside a roof or wall.

The species. Paper wasps, or mud wasp nests that only need clearing.

Prevention treatment. Treating eaves and other favourite spots against rebuilding.

You get an upfront price with no hidden charges after the technician has seen the job. Call 07 3544 9883 or send a photo with your enquiry for a faster estimate.

Wasp Removal Kippa-Ring FAQs

How do I get rid of a wasp nest?

Keep well away and have it treated professionally. The wasps need to be treated on the nest before it is taken down, and the spot treated afterwards. Knocking a nest down with a broom or hose leaves the wasps alive, and they rebuild within days.

How much does wasp nest removal cost in Kippa-Ring?

It depends on the number of nests, how high they are, the species and whether a prevention treatment is included. A technician gives you an upfront price before any work starts, with no hidden costs.

Is it a wasp or a bee?

Paper wasps are slender and smooth with a narrow waist, and their nest is a grey papery comb with open cells. Honey bees are fuzzy and golden brown, and swarm in a tight ball or live inside a cavity. Wasps can sting repeatedly; a bee stings once.

Are paper wasps dangerous?

They are not aggressive away from the nest, but they defend it strongly and can each sting several times. Stings are painful, and for people with an allergy they can be life-threatening. Nests near doors, paths and play areas should be removed.

Do mud wasps need to be removed?

Mud wasps are solitary and rarely sting, so they are not a safety problem. Their clay nests are messy, though, and can block vents, weep holes, machinery and air conditioner pipes. We clear the nests and can treat the area.

Can I knock a wasp nest down myself?

It is not recommended. Most stings happen when someone hits a nest with a broom, sprays it from underneath or hoses it. The wasps are also still alive afterwards and rebuild in the same place.

Why do wasps keep building in the same spot?

Because it is a good spot: dry, sheltered and warm. Eaves, verandah roofs and pergolas are used year after year. Treating those surfaces after a nest is removed makes them much less attractive.

When is wasp season in Brisbane?

Nests are started in early spring and grow through summer, peaking from December to March. Activity drops in the cooler months, but in Brisbane it rarely stops altogether.

Can I get same day wasp removal in Kippa-Ring?

Yes. We offer same day service across 277 Brisbane suburbs, and for urgent jobs a technician can often be onsite in 60 minutes. Our phones are answered 24/7.

What should I do if I get stung by a wasp?

Move away from the nest, wash the sting and apply a cold pack. Wasps do not leave a sting behind. If the person has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or feels faint, call 000 immediately.
