Locating the Nest
When noticing large numbers of wasps around your property, carefully observe the flight path of the wasps as this may lead you to the nest in your area. Carefully examining potential nest sites can reveal wasps entering and exiting from a small entrance hole around 3-5cm wide.
Our Wasp Control Process
Our experienced technicians will inspect your property to locate the nest and determine the safest treatment method.
Our wasp control service includes:
A thorough inspection of the affected area.
Identification of active nests.
Professional treatment using proven pest control products.
Safe removal where appropriate.
Advice on preventing future wasp problems.
We aim to eliminate the entire colony, not just the wasps you can see, providing effective, long-lasting results.
Wasps in Mosgiel and Dunedin
In the Otago Region the European Wasps such as the Common Wasp and German Wasp pose the greatest risk to human health. They also attack beehives and prey on native insects.
Both species feed on honey dew found in Beech forests, which in turn removes important sources of food for New Zealand’s native birds. Both wasp species usually build their nests in the ground or in banks although sometimes in hollow trees, walls or roof cavities. The nests are a distinctive spherical paper nest manufactured from chewed up wood fibre.

Wasp Prevention Tips
Although not every nest can be prevented, these steps can help reduce the likelihood of wasps establishing themselves on your property:
Keep outdoor rubbish bins tightly sealed.
Clean up food and drink spills promptly.
Cover food when eating outdoors.
Seal gaps around rooflines, vents, and wall cavities.
Regularly inspect sheds, decks, and roof spaces for early nest activity.
Trim overgrown vegetation near buildings.
If you notice wasps regularly flying to the same location, arrange an inspection before the nest becomes larger and more difficult to remove.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to remove a wasp nest myself?
Attempting to remove a wasp nest without the proper equipment can be dangerous. Wasps will defend their nest if they feel threatened and may sting multiple times. Professional treatment is the safest and most effective option.
When is the best time to remove a wasp nest?
The sooner a nest is treated, the better. Early removal helps prevent the colony from expanding and reduces the risk of stings around your property.
How long does wasp treatment take?
Most treatments are completed within a single visit, although larger or difficult-to-access nests may require additional time depending on their location and size.
Will the wasps come back?
Our treatments are designed to eliminate the active colony. While new queens may establish nests elsewhere in future seasons, removing existing nests and following prevention advice significantly reduces the likelihood of recurring problems.
