Paper wasps are most active in Mitchelton from spring through summer, when they build grey, papery nests shaped like an upside-down umbrella. You will often find them under eaves, on fence rails, inside letterboxes and electricity boxes, in the roofs of sheds and carports, and tucked into hedges. Many people only find the nest when they brush against it while gardening. If you spot one, keep children and pets away and leave it alone.
When you call, tell us where the nest is, how high it sits and roughly how big it is. The crew we book treats the nest and the wasps with the right gear, waits for the activity to settle, and then removes the nest. They also check nearby eaves, fences and shrubs for other nests, since paper wasps often build more than one near the same home. Nests high on a two-storey wall or inside a cavity may take a little longer.
