Why wasps and bees are a real problem in Melbourne
European wasps are the dangerous ones - yellow and black, in-ground or wall-cavity nests, get aggressive in February-April when colonies peak. Paper wasps are the umbrella-shaped nests under eaves - far less aggressive but still a problem near front doors and kids' play areas. Honey bee swarms aren't pests in our view - we relocate them where a beekeeper is available.
Why wasps and bees keep coming back
Spraying the visible wasps doesn't kill the queen, who keeps laying inside the nest. Within a week the colony rebuilds. We treat the nest itself - dust into the entry hole at dusk when the colony is home - which kills the queen and ends the problem.
Our wasps & bees treatment process
- 01
Identification
Confirm species - treatment is different for European vs paper wasps; honey bees we won't kill if a relocation option exists.
- 02
Dusk treatment
European wasp nests treated at dusk when colony is internal; paper wasps treated on contact during the day.
- 03
Nest removal
Where safely accessible, we physically remove the nest after kill so no secondary issues (mould, ants, pheromone re-attack).

DIY vs professional treatment
We're not going to pretend hardware-store products never work - they sometimes do. Here's the honest line.
When DIY works
Paper wasp nest with two or three wasps and a long-handle aerosol - fine on a calm evening if you know what you're doing.
When to call us
Anything in-ground, wall cavity, roof void, or above 2 metres. European wasps in particular - getting it wrong is an ER trip.
Common Melbourne suburbs we treat for wasps & bees
European wasp pressure peaks Feb-April across the eastern suburbs (Camberwell, Box Hill, Glen Waverley, Doncaster) and the Yarra Valley fringe. Paper wasps are universal across Melbourne.
Wasps & Bees questions, answered
- Not if we can avoid it. We coordinate with local beekeepers for swarm relocation at no charge. If a colony is established in a wall cavity and relocation isn't viable, we'll discuss options before any treatment.
