wasps and wasp nests
01. Identification
Paper wasps and European wasps are the most common problem species in Sydney. Paper wasps build distinctive open comb nests hanging under eaves and branches. European wasps are a more significant threat, often building hidden nests inside wall cavities, roof voids, or even underground.
03. Critical Risks
Wasp stings are very painful and can cause dangerous allergic reactions. Unlike honeybees, wasps can sting repeatedly if they feel their nest is threatened, making DIY nest removal a high-risk activity for homeowners and pets.
02. Behaviour & Signs
Common signs include wasps flying in and out of a single spot on your property. Nests are frequently found under eaves, in roof voids, sheds, or gardens. Be extremely cautious—wasps are territorial and can become aggressive, stinging anyone who disturbs their nest.
