European wasps build up through summer in Chadstone, and by late summer and autumn their nests can be very large. Most nests are underground in lawns and garden beds, but they also turn up inside retaining walls, wall cavities, sheds and roof spaces. Often the only sign is a steady line of wasps flying in and out of one small hole, or wasps hanging around bins, fruit trees and outdoor meals.
Please do not try to deal with a nest yourself. Blocking the hole, flooding it or spraying it from the shop tends to anger the wasps, and they can find another way out, sometimes into the house through the wall. Keep people and pets well away and give us a call. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew with the right protective gear.

On the day, stay inside and keep nearby doors and windows shut while the crew works. Wasp activity usually settles within a day as wasps returning to the nest pass through the treatment. Leave the hole open so they can keep going in and out.
