Wasp Pest Control
Wasps are a common and often unwelcome pest known for their aggressive behaviour and painful stings. Unlike bees, wasps have smoother bodies and can sting multiple times. Wasp control and wasp removal is a task best left to professionals, the best of which can be found at Green Pesty. We use safe, effective and eco-friendly methods to eliminate different types of wasps Melbourne wide. We use specialised equipment and natural insecticides that target wasps while minimising risks to humans and pets.
Do Wasps Abandon Their Nests in Australia?
Yes, wasps generally abandon their nests at the end of the season. In Australia, this typically occurs in late autumn or early winter. However, nests can remain active for most of the year in warmer climates. If you notice wasp activity, it’s crucial to address the problem promptly to avoid infestation.
Can I Remove a Wasp Nest Myself?
Removing a wasp nest yourself is not recommended. Wasps can become aggressive when disturbed, leading to multiple stings which can be particularly dangerous for people with allergies. Green Pesty offers safe and effective wasp nest removal in Melbourne, ensuring the safety of you and your family.
How to Inspect if There is a Nest Nearby
Inspecting for a wasp nest involves carefully observing wasp activity. Look for wasps flying in and out of a particular area, such as roof eaves, sheds or holes in the ground. At Green Pesty, we can perform a thorough inspection to identify and locate any nests.
How to Avoid Getting Wasp Stung
To avoid wasp stings, take the following precautions:
- Stay calm and avoid swatting at wasps.
- Wear dark-coloured clothing, as wasps are attracted to bright colours.
- Keep food and sugary drinks covered when outdoors.
- Avoid strong scents from perfumes and lotions, which can attract wasps.
- Seek professional help if you suspect a nest nearby.
