Eaves are the most common spot for paper wasp nests around Caboolture. They give shelter from rain and direct sun, and the smooth lining is easy to hang a nest from. Wide eaves on older Queenslanders and brick homes are popular, and so are the corners where two roof lines meet and the spaces above windows and doors.
A nest under the eaves can sit right above a doorway, a window you open or a path you use every day. Wasps will defend it if something comes close, such as a person cleaning the gutters or a child throwing a ball. Nests also tend to come back to the same kind of spot, so one nest often leads to others along the same roofline.
When you call, tell us how high the eaves are and whether the home is single or double storey. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. On the day, the crew walks the roofline, finds the nests and explains the options before they start. The visit may include:
- A walk around the full roofline
- Treating each nest and taking it down
- Removing old stalks from the eave lining
- Checking gutters, fascia and window awnings
- Pointing out gaps into the roof worth sealing
Please do not try to knock a nest off the eaves from a ladder, as a fall is a real risk if wasps swarm out. Keep people back from that side of the house. For wasp nests under the eaves at your place in Caboolture, call 07 3543 7773 and we will book a local crew.
