Wasp proofing is about making your home and yard less inviting to wasps before they settle in. No home can be made wasp-proof for good, but a few changes can cut down the number of nests you find around Brisbane each season. It works well after a nest is removed, when the old spots are still easy to see.
The crew we book walks around the house and points out the places wasps like to use, such as open gaps under the eaves, missing weep hole covers, broken vent covers, gaps around pipes and lattice with deep shelter behind it. Where it is a simple job, they can seal small gaps, fit mesh over vents and remove old nest stalks on the same visit. Bigger building work is something you would organise with a builder or handyman.
There is plenty you can do yourself as well. Keep bins closed, pick up fallen fruit, cover pet food and sweet drinks outside, and check the usual nest spots every few weeks from September. Small nests found early are much simpler to deal with. We give you an upfront price for the proofing visit before anyone comes out.

Same-day or next-day visits are often possible where the run allows. If you had a nest removed recently, mention it so the crew can check the same spots. To book wasp proofing in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7771 and tell us where you have had nests before.
