Pergolas, patios, carports and sheds give paper wasps just what they want: a dry beam to hang from and a garden close by. In Brisbane, nests often sit where a rafter meets a beam, in the channel of a steel patio roof or on the inside of a shed door. Because people sit and eat under these roofs, a nest here tends to lead to stings sooner or later.
The crew we book checks every beam and corner, since there is often more than one nest. They treat each nest, give the wasps time to settle and then remove the nests and scrape off the stalks. For shed and garage nests, they also check shelves, tool racks and the backs of doors, which are easy spots to overlook.
Before the visit, keep outdoor dining under the pergola to a minimum and move barbecue covers or cushions away from the nest if you can do so without disturbing it. When you call, tell us what the structure is made of, how high the beams are and how many nests you can see. We give you an upfront price before the visit.
