Wasps do not only build on houses. Around Caboolture, paper wasps also hang nests from tree branches, palm fronds and the underside of thick foliage. Nests in trees are often hard to spot until someone walks underneath, climbs the tree or starts cutting back branches. On acreage, nests can also sit in trees along fence lines, near gates and around dams.
A nest in a tree near a path, a play area, a driveway or a pool can make that part of the yard awkward to use. Wasps may also get stirred up by wind, a ride-on mower or a ball hitting the branch. If you are planning any tree work, it is worth checking for nests first.
When you call, tell us how high the nest is and what is underneath it. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. On the day, the crew looks at the tree, works out how to reach the nest and explains the options before they start. The visit may include:
- Checking the tree and branches around the nest
- Setting up so people and pets stay clear
- Treating the nest and taking it down
- Checking nearby trees, palms and shrubs
- Pointing out spots to check before any tree work
Some nests are too high to reach from a ladder, and the crew will tell you if other gear or an arborist is needed. Keep the area clear until then. For a wasp nest in a tree at your place in Caboolture, call 07 3543 7773 and we will book a nearby crew.
