Wasp & Bee Nest Removal Melbourne

European wasps nest in walls, eaves, roof spaces and the ground, and they can sting repeatedly if disturbed. Bees are valuable pollinators, so where possible we remove swarms and hives without killing them. Don’t try to block or spray a nest yourself. It often makes them aggressive or drives them further into the building.

Signs of Wasps & Bees

• Wasps flying in and out of a gap in a wall, eave or the ground
• A papery grey nest under eaves, in sheds or in hedges
• A cluster or swarm of bees on a branch, fence or wall
• Bees repeatedly entering a wall cavity, roof or chimney

How We Treat Wasps & Bees

• Identify the species first: wasps and bees need completely different treatment.
• Wasp nests: we treat the nest directly with a professional dust that the wasps carry through the colony, then remove accessible nests.
• Bee swarms and hives (no-kill): our specialist vacuum extraction equipment collects the bees in one step and transfers them to a hive box for relocation, with minimal disturbance.
• Prevention: we can advise on, or carry out, repairs to stop bees or wasps nesting in the same spot again.

Wasp and bee treatments don’t come with an automatic guarantee. If one applies to your job, we’ll confirm it in writing. See our guarantee terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove a wasp nest myself?

We don’t recommend it. European wasps defend their nest and can sting repeatedly, and spraying or blocking the entrance often makes them more aggressive or pushes them further into walls and roof spaces. Professional wasp nest removal treats the nest directly and safely.

Do European wasps reuse old nests?

Generally no. Nests from the previous season aren’t reused, but new queens may build nearby, so it’s worth fixing the gap they used.

Do you kill bees?

Not where we can avoid it. We use no-kill vacuum extraction to collect and relocate swarms and hives wherever possible.
