Wasp & Bee Nest Removal in Canberra & Queanbeyan

European wasps are a serious pest in the ACT. They sting repeatedly, defend their nests aggressively and often nest in the ground, in walls or in roof spaces. Don’t try to remove a nest yourself. We treat it safely, usually in one visit.

Wasps & Bees we treat in Canberra

European wasps

Yellow and black, and aggressive near the nest. Nests are often hidden in the ground, wall cavities or roof spaces, with one small entry hole.

Paper wasps

Build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, pergolas, fences and shrubs.

Bee swarms

Honey bees are valuable, so where possible we’ll refer you to a local beekeeper to relocate a swarm safely.

FAQ

Wasp & Bee Nest Removal questions

Should I remove a wasp nest myself?

No. European wasps can sting many times and will attack in large numbers if the nest is disturbed. Hidden nests in walls and the ground are especially risky to tackle yourself.

How quickly can you come out?

We understand a wasp nest near your house, children or pets can’t wait. Contact us and we’ll get to you as soon as we can.

Do you remove bees?
