Garden nests catch people out. A paper wasp nest tucked inside a hedge, a palm frond or a thick shrub is easy to miss until someone trims the plant or brushes past it. In Brisbane we hear about nests in murraya hedges, lilly pillies, bougainvillea, citrus trees and banana plants, as well as on garden benches and pot stands.
The crew we book locates the nest, treats it where it hangs and gives it time to settle. They then cut or lift the nest out of the plant and bag it, trying not to damage the plant any more than needed. If there are several nests through one hedge, they work along it section by section. Any stalks left on branches are snipped off too, so the spot looks less inviting next spring.
If you are about to trim hedges or mow, walk the garden first and look for wasps flying in and out of the same spot. Hedge trimmers and mowers can set off a nest in seconds. When you call, tell us which plant the nest is in and how far off the ground it sits. We give you an upfront price before the visit and book a time that suits you.
