Wasps Around the Home? Professional Wasp Control in Newcastle
Wasps are aggressive defenders of their nests. A single disturbance can trigger multiple stings, and unlike bees, a wasp can sting repeatedly. Paper wasps and European wasps both pose real dangers around homes.
The Problem
European wasps can build nests of thousands underground or inside wall cavities. They're highly aggressive when disturbed, and stings can cause severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Paper wasps build open-comb nests under eaves and in shrubs, defending them fiercely.
Our Solution
We locate the nest, establish a safety zone, apply targeted nest treatment and residual treatment where appropriate, then monitor the result. We advise on keeping children and pets clear of the area until the nest is confirmed inactive.

FAQ
Wasps Around the Home — your questions answered
How much does wasp treatment cost?+
Wasp treatment is from $195 for units and townhouses and $220 for single and double storey homes standalone. Bundled with a general pest spray: $165.
Should I remove a wasp nest myself?+
No. Wasps are aggressive defenders and can sting repeatedly. Disturbing a nest can trigger multiple stings and, for allergic individuals, anaphylaxis. Professional treatment is safer and more effective.
How do I tell paper wasps from European wasps?+
Paper wasps build open-comb nests under eaves and in shrubs — you can see the comb. European wasps build enclosed nests underground or inside wall cavities, and you'll see wasp traffic to a single entry point. Both require professional treatment.
