European wasps and paper wasps build nests around Lara properties in spots that are easy to miss until someone gets close, under eaves, inside wall cavities, in garden sheds or below decking. A nest that starts small in spring can grow through summer into something that makes the backyard hard to use, and wasps become more defensive as the nest gets bigger.
If you have found a nest, do not disturb it yourself. Call us with roughly where it is and how big it looks from a safe distance, and we will pass that on to the crew we book. The crew treats the nest directly, working at a time of day when wasps are less active, and checks nearby areas for smaller nests that can be harder to spot.
Homes around Lara with timber decking, garden sheds or eaves that overhang a walkway tend to see wasps return to the same spots year after year if a nest is not dealt with early. A local team that works this corridor between Lara and Geelong checks those common spots as a matter of course.
European wasp numbers grow quickest in late summer and early autumn, when a nest that started small in spring can hold hundreds of wasps. Garden work, mowing near a nest tucked out of sight or knocking a hive by accident are common ways people get stung, so fence off the area if you can until the crew arrives.
