What are Wasps?

Wasps may look like bees, but they are different insects. They have long, slender bodies with bright yellow and black stripes. They have two sets of wings that let them fly quickly. Wasps live in groups and build nests made out of paper or mud. Inside the nest, the wasp queen lays hundreds of eggs that hatch into larvae. These larvae grow into adult worker wasps that protect the nest.

Unlike bees that only sting to defend themselves, they can aggressively sting any threat multiple times. Their stings are painful because they inject a toxin. This is why they can be dangerous pests around your home.

Common Wasp Species in Adelaide

There are a few different types of wasps and bees that live around Adelaide. Some of the most common ones that build nests and bother people are:

• Paper wasps: They make cone-shaped nests out of chewed wood pulp. Their nests may have exposed cells that hold wasp larvae and pupae. They come in colors like red, brown, or black with yellow markings.
• European wasps: These invasive pests are black and yellow. Their large papery nests have an outer shell and contain up to 5,000 wasps! They hang them in trees, attics, sheds, or other sheltered spots.
• Mud dauber wasps: These are skinny that build mud nest tubes on walls, roofs, and other structures outside homes. The females stuff the tubes with paralysed spiders or insects for their young to eat.
• Honeybees: They are fuzzy, gold and black striped bees that produce honey. They live together in hives with wax combs to hold their eggs and food. Honeybees will defend their hive if disturbed.

The Risks of Wasp

Wasp poses several dangers and risks if they invade areas near your home. Here are some of the major issues wasp can cause:

• Painful stings: Unlike bees, they can sting multiple times. Wasp stings feel like sharp needles poking your skin and hurt! They may leave behind swollen red marks or itchy welts.
• Allergic reactions: Some people may have a severe reaction to wasp venom called anaphylaxis. This can cause dangerous breathing problems, plunging blood pressure, vomiting and other scary symptoms.
• Being attacked: If their nest is disturbed, hundreds of angry wasps may swarm out to attack the threat. This is why you should never throw things at a nest or try removing it yourself.
• Property damage: Burrowing wasp can drill holes and tunnels into wood, drywall or insulation panels when making nests indoors. This can be expensive to repair!

So allowing them to take over puts your family’s health and home at risk. If you spot them, call us for comprehensive wasp control solutions.

Signs of Infestation

How can you tell if pesky wasps are setting up their nests on your property in Adelaide? Watch out for these common signs of wasp activity:

• Buzzing insects – Listen for loud buzz or see them flying back and forth in the same path. They may disappear into holes and cracks.
• Nest sightings – Look along eaves, in bushes, sheds, and other structures for gray papery nests or mud tubes. Track them to find their nesting spot.
• Damage to wood – Check for small openings chewed into fences, sheds, wooden furniture, and other wood structures. Mud tunnel nests are another giveaway.
• Droppings – Look for lots of brown, red, or yellow smears below nesting sites. This is wasp poop!

Catching an infestation early before wasp nests grow huge makes removing them much easier. Call us for professional assistance if you confirm they are invading so we can knock down their nests.

Our Wasp Control Process

We completely understand how scary and dangerous wasp can be. That’s why we follow a thorough 4-step process for wasp nest removal services and make sure they don’t come back.

1. Inspection

First, our wasp technicians will check your whole property to find all traces and locate their nests. We document everything we find.

2. Customised Wasp Treatment Plan

Next, we create a plan just for your situation to remove the wasps and nests safely. We may use special sprays, powders or traps.

3. Wasp Removal

We gear up in protective suits and carefully destroy the wasp nests so they don’t survive. We remove all the nest debris when done.

4. Prevention Tips

Finally, we provide advice to make it less likely they bother your home again.

Here are some smart things you can do to keep them from building nests at your home or business:

• Install screens over vents, chimneys, and openings to attics or crawl spaces. This blocks them from getting inside to nest.
• Seal cracks on the exterior of your home using caulk or filler products. Fixing gaps gets rid of spots they can get in.
• Prune vegetation back from the house. This gives them less nesting places close to your home’s activity.
• Routinely check under deck railings, outdoor furniture, play equipment, and dense plants for the start of any nests. Catch them early before they grow!
• Make sure food waste goes directly into lidded cans and take your trash out frequently. Avoid leaving sugary drinks outside too. Don’t give them a tasty reason to visit!
