Paper wasps love the warm weather around Caboolture. They build grey, honeycomb-style nests under eaves and gutters, on pergolas and carports, inside sheds and letterboxes, and deep in shrubs and hedges. On acreage, nests often turn up on sheds, stables and machinery. Wasps defend the nest hard when disturbed, which is why many people call when one appears near a door or path. We give you upfront pricing and book a local crew to deal with it.
The crew wears protective gear and checks the size of the nest, how active it is and how easy it is to reach. They treat the nest to knock down the wasps, then remove it and bag it once activity has died down. Treating first means fewer wasps are left flying around the yard. Then they look around the eaves, sheds and shrubs nearby for small new nests that have just been started.

Please leave the nest alone until the crew arrives. Spraying or hitting a nest can send dozens of wasps out at once, and they can sting more than once. Keep children and pets away from the area. If someone is stung and feels unwell, call 000 or see a doctor, and for questions about a product, phone the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
When you call, tell us where the nest is, roughly how big it is and how high it sits. To book wasp nest removal in Caboolture, call 07 3543 7770 for upfront pricing and a local team, same-day or next-day where the run allows.
