Wasp and Bee Removal in Melbourne is a licensed pest control service that locates, treats and removes active wasp nests and bee hives from residential and commercial properties.
A technician inspects the roof void, eaves, wall cavities, garden beds and meter boxes, identifies the species, then applies a dust formulation or residual insecticide directly into the nest entry. Most single-nest jobs take 45 to 90 minutes on site.
We remove the nest where it is accessible, seal the entry point with mesh screens or foam sealants, and leave you with a written treatment record.
Melbourne's warm spells from October through March push European wasp colonies past 10,000 workers, and a single nest under a Canterbury eave can send foragers into a kitchen within days. Paper wasps build smaller nests on fences and window frames, while honeybee swarms cluster on branches in spring.

We check the roof void, eaves, wall cavities, garden beds, meter boxes and shed fascias. European wasps often run a second entry, so we map every access point before treating. Inspection takes 15 to 25 minutes on a typical Melbourne home.
European wasps, paper wasps, native wasps and honeybees all need different handling. We identify the species on site so the treatment matches the colony, and we advise whether a bee hive can be relocated rather than destroyed.

For exposed paper wasp nests and perimeter treatments. We use low-residual formulations and apply them only to the surfaces that need protection.
Locate nests hidden inside wall cavities and roof voids by detecting the heat signature of an active colony. This avoids unnecessary demolition or exploratory drilling.
Used to close entry points after treatment. Sealing is what stops a new colony moving into the same gap next season.
Deliver measured doses of bait gel or dust into tight gaps. Useful for nests inside meter boxes, fascia joints and brick weep holes.
Check for damp timber around nest sites. Wasp and bee activity often sits alongside moisture damage, and the meter tells us whether further treatment is needed.
A homeowner in Canterbury had a European wasp nest above the back door and had stopped using the yard. Foragers were entering the kitchen through a gap near the rangehood vent. Two family members had been stung in a week.
After: We treated the nest entry with dust, removed the nest, and sealed both the eave gap and the rangehood vent line. Wasp activity stopped within 36 hours. The family was back in the yard the following weekend.

A bee colony had moved into a wall cavity beside a bedroom window in Glen Iris. Honey staining was appearing on the plasterboard, and ants had started trailing along the skirting. The homeowner was worried about the wall being opened up.
After: We treated the hive in place, removed the accessible comb through a small access point, and sealed the cavity. The staining was cleaned and the wall was left intact. Ant activity stopped once the honey source was removed.

A property manager in South Yarra had three paper wasp nests along a shared fence and a fourth in the meter box. Tenants were avoiding the courtyard, and a tradesperson had been stung while reading the meter.
After: We treated and removed all four nests in a single visit and sealed the meter box entry. The courtyard was usable again the same afternoon, and the meter could be read safely the next day.

We identify the entry points and proof them with mesh screens, foam sealants and wood treatments. That breaks the cycle, and we record the sealed locations so future visits start from a known baseline.

Direct dust application into the nest entry is the most effective method for European wasps in Melbourne, because foragers carry the dust back into the colony. We use a dust applicator rather than a surface spray, then seal the entry with mesh screens or foam sealants. For exposed paper wasp nests, a targeted residual insecticide and physical removal works faster.
Call a licensed pest controller rather than attempting it yourself. European wasp nests can hold more than 10,000 workers by late summer, and disturbing the entry without protective gear leads to multiple stings. We treat the nest, remove it where accessible, and seal the cavity. Most clients see no activity within 48 hours of treatment.
Yes, when applied correctly. We use targeted dust formulations and place product directly at the nest entry rather than broadcasting it across the yard.
