European wasps are a common late summer and autumn problem around Sunbury. Their nests are usually out of sight in the ground, in wall cavities, under decking or inside old sleepers, and the first sign is often a steady line of wasps flying in and out of one small hole. Paper wasps build smaller, open nests under eaves, pergolas and window frames. Both can be a real worry near doorways, play areas and barbecue spots.
If you see a nest or a busy entry point, keep people and pets away and do not try to block or spray it yourself. Call us, tell us where it is and how busy it looks, and we book a local crew and give you upfront pricing before the visit. The crew we book finds the nest and treats it at the entry point.

Wasps are drawn to food and water around outdoor living areas, so homes in Sunbury with fruit trees, pools or pet bowls outside often see more activity. The crew will point out anything that is drawing them in. Keeping bins lidded and picking up fallen fruit through late summer both help to cut down visits.
