Once wasps have nested around a home, they often come back to the same kind of spot. Old stalks, sheltered corners and open gaps into the roof all make a home more appealing. Wasp proofing in Caboolture is about removing old nests, closing obvious gaps and making the favourite spots less inviting. It is most useful right after a nest has been removed, or in late winter before the wasp season starts.
Common problem spots include gaps where the roof meets the eaves, loose ridge capping, roof and wall vents without mesh, open weep holes, gaps around pipes and cables, and cracks around window frames. Outside, old nest stalks under eaves and pergolas, and gaps in letterboxes, electricity boxes and play equipment, are worth checking. On older Queenslanders, gaps in weatherboards and around old wall vents are common too.
The crew we book walks around the home, points out the spots they find and explains the options, such as fitting mesh to vents, sealing gaps or clearing old nests. Some of this can be done on the same visit as a nest removal, and some may be a job for a builder or roofer. The visit may include:
- A walk around the walls, roofline and yard
- Clearing old nests and stalks
- Fitting mesh to vents where suitable
- Sealing gaps around pipes and cables
- Pointing out spots to check each spring
No home can be kept clear of wasps forever, but closing the obvious gaps helps. Call 07 3543 7773 to book wasp proofing in Caboolture, and we will give you upfront pricing before the visit.
