Most wasp nests around Caboolture hang out in the open, but now and then wasps find their way into the roof space. They can get in through gaps where the roof meets the eaves, under loose ridge capping, past a cracked tile or through a roof vent. Inside, a nest can grow out of sight until wasps start showing up in numbers along the roofline.
Signs include wasps flying in and out of the same gap on the roof or eaves, a few wasps inside the house near light fittings or ceiling vents, and scratching or buzzing sounds in the ceiling. If wasps are coming into the house, close the room and call us.
The crew we book checks the roofline from the ground and then from a ladder or inside the roof space. They look for the entry point and try to work out where the nest sits. They explain the options before they start, including whether the nest can be reached from the manhole or needs tiles lifted. The visit may include:
- Finding the gap the wasps use to get in
- Treating the nest inside the roof space
- Removing the nest where it can be reached
- Checking the eaves and roofline for other nests
- Advice on sealing the entry gap afterwards
Please do not go into the roof space to look for the nest yourself, and do not block the entry while wasps are still inside, as they may find another way into the house. For wasps in the roof at your place in Caboolture, call 07 3543 7773 and we will book a nearby crew with upfront pricing.
