Our Professional Wasp Control Process

At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we understand the risks and discomfort of a wasp infestation. Wasps are aggressive, territorial, and their stings can trigger severe allergic reactions. That’s why we offer comprehensive wasp pest control services to remove nests quickly and prevent future infestations — safely and effectively.

Thorough Wasp Inspection

Our licensed technicians begin with a detailed property inspection to locate wasp nests, assess the severity of the infestation, and identify high-risk zones. Whether nests are in wall cavities, roof voids, sheds, or trees, we tailor our treatment plan to your property’s specific needs.

Customised Wasp Treatment

We use a combination of targeted insecticide applications and safe wasp nest removal to neutralise colonies. All treatments are:

  • Species-specific (e.g. European wasps, paper wasps)
  • Pet- and family-safe
  • Delivered using low-toxicity, environmentally responsible products
  • This ensures complete wasp elimination with minimal disruption to your home or business.

Safety is Our Top Priority

We follow strict safety procedures when treating and removing wasps. Our technicians are fully trained and equipped to handle high-risk infestations, ensuring your property, family, and pets remain safe throughout the process.

Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance

To ensure long-term wasp prevention, we provide ongoing monitoring services and periodic inspections. We’ll recheck treated zones and address any signs of re-infestation early, helping to keep your property wasp-free through every season.

Wasp Prevention and Client Education

We educate our clients on how to prevent wasps from returning, including:

  • Sealing gaps in walls, eaves, and sheds
  • Reducing outdoor food and drink exposure
  • Managing vegetation and rubbish bins
  • Eliminating water sources near your property

By making your environment less attractive to wasps, you can significantly lower the chance of future nests.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get rid of a wasp nest safely in Australia?

Never attempt to remove a wasp nest yourself, especially if it’s active. Wasps — particularly European wasps and paper wasps — can become aggressive if threatened, and multiple stings may occur quickly.

The safest and most effective way to get rid of a wasp nest is to contact a licensed pest control professional. At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we use specialist protective equipment and targeted insecticide treatments to safely neutralise and remove wasp nests without risk to people or pets.

What is the difference between European wasps and paper wasps?

European wasps are bright yellow with black stripes and are known for their aggressive behaviour, especially around food and drink. They build large nests, often in the ground or wall cavities.

Paper wasps, on the other hand, are slimmer with longer legs and construct smaller umbrella-shaped nests, typically under eaves or outdoor furniture. While less aggressive than European wasps, they can still sting if their nest is disturbed.

Jim’s technicians are trained to identify the wasp species and apply the most effective and species-specific treatment.

Why do wasps keep coming back to my property?

Wasps return to properties for several reasons:

  • Existing nesting sites or favourable shelter (eaves, pergolas, sheds)
  • Accessible food sources, such as sugary drinks, meat, pet food, or fruit trees
  • Untreated nests from previous seasons or missed queens establishing colonies

To stop wasps from coming back, we recommend annual inspections, removal of outdoor food attractants, and sealing potential nesting sites. Jim’s offers preventive wasp treatments to deter future infestations.

Are wasp stings dangerous and what should I do if I get stung?

Yes, wasp stings can be dangerous, particularly for individuals with allergies. Stings can cause pain, swelling, redness, and in some cases, anaphylaxis — a life-threatening allergic reaction.

If stung:

  • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
  • Take antihistamines or pain relief if needed
  • Seek immediate medical attention for signs of an allergic reaction (e.g. difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat)

To reduce risk, never disturb a wasp nest and contact Jim’s Pest Control for professional removal.

How do pest control professionals remove wasps?

At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, our wasp removal process involves:

  • Identifying the species and nest location
  • Applying residual insecticides or direct nest treatments
  • Wearing protective gear to safely access hard-to-reach nests
  • Removing or neutralising the nest once wasps are inactive

We also offer follow-up inspections and provide prevention advice to stop future nesting.

When is wasp season in Australia and how can I prepare?

Wasp season in Australia typically peaks from late spring to early autumn, when weather is warm and nests are most active. You’re more likely to see wasps in:

  • Outdoor eating areas
  • Gardens and roof spaces
  • Around bins or sugary food sources

To prepare:

  • Seal cracks and crevices
  • Keep food covered outdoors
  • Trim back vegetation near the home
  • Schedule a preventive pest control service

Jim’s offers seasonal wasp control services to help you stay protected before nests become a serious hazard.

What should I do if I find a wasp nest on my property?

If you discover a wasp nest or mud nest around your home or business, it's important to act carefully to avoid stings and potential allergic reactions. Here’s what to do if you come across a wasp nest:

1. Do Not Disturb the Nest

Stay calm and keep a safe distance. Wasps are territorial and can become aggressive if they sense a threat. Avoid shaking, spraying, or poking the nest.

2. Assess the Risk and Location

Determine whether the nest is in a high-traffic area or close to children, pets, or entrances. If it poses an immediate risk, action is necessary. If it's isolated and inactive, it may not require urgent removal.

3. Call a Professional Wasp Control Service

The safest option is to contact Jim’s Termite & Pest Control. Our trained technicians have the protective equipment and expertise to remove wasp nests safely and efficiently. We’ll inspect the site, assess the infestation, and provide a fast, affordable wasp nest removal quote.

4. Avoid DIY Wasp Nest Removal

Never attempt to remove a wasp nest on your own. Without proper gear and insect-specific knowledge, DIY attempts can result in multiple stings and serious health risks, especially if you're allergic.

5. Keep Others Away

If the nest is near shared spaces, block off the area and warn others to avoid the site until professional help arrives.

Wasps can sting multiple times, and their reactions can range from painful to dangerous. For your safety and peace of mind, trust Jim’s Termite & Pest Control for safe and effective wasp nest removal anywhere in Australia.

What is the difference between bees and wasps in Australia?

Bees and wasps are both flying insects belonging to the order Hymenoptera, but they have distinct physical traits, behaviours, and ecological roles. Here's how to tell the difference between bees and wasps commonly found in Australia:

🐝 Physical Appearance

  • Bees: Typically plump and covered in dense hairs, bees have robust, rounded bodies and flattened hind legs designed for collecting pollen. They appear fuzzy and are usually brown or black with pale yellow markings.
  • Wasps: Wasps have slender bodies with a narrow waist, smooth exoskeletons, and bright yellow, orange, or black markings. They appear shiny and have minimal body hair compared to bees.

🧠 Behaviour and Temperament

  • Bees: Primarily pollinators, bees are essential to plant reproduction. They are generally non-aggressive unless provoked or defending their hive. Most Australian native bees, including stingless bees, are harmless and beneficial.
  • Wasps: Wasps are often predatory, feeding on other insects or scavenging. Some species like European wasps and paper wasps can be aggressive, particularly when disturbed or during late summer when food competition intensifies.

🏠 Nesting Habits

  • Bees: Build structured wax hives in tree hollows, roof cavities, or man-made beehives. Native bees may nest in burrows, timber, or wall cavities.
  • Wasps: Construct nests from paper pulp or mud, often in wall voids, sheds, under eaves, or underground. Social wasps form colonies, while solitary wasps create individual nests for their young.

🌱 Ecological Importance

  • Bees: Crucial for pollination of crops and native plants, bees support biodiversity and food production. They are key players in sustainable agriculture and ecosystem health.
  • Wasps: Many wasps are natural pest controllers, preying on caterpillars, flies, and other garden pests. However, certain wasp species can be aggressive and pose a stinging risk, especially near high-traffic areas.

🛑 Need Help Identifying or Removing a Nest?

If you find a bee or wasp nest on your property, it's best not to approach it. Wasps can be defensive, and bees should be relocated carefully to protect their vital ecological role.


Contact Jim’s Termite & Pest Control for expert identification and safe, effective bee or wasp nest removal services across Australia.

Does your wasp control service include nest removal?

Yes — at Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, our comprehensive wasp control service includes full wasp nest removal. When you contact us for wasp treatment, our experienced technicians will inspect your property, locate all active wasp nests, and develop a customised treatment plan tailored to the type of wasps and the risk level.

As part of the treatment process, we will safely remove the wasp nests to eliminate the immediate threat and help prevent the return of wasp activity. Removing the nest is a critical step in successful wasp control, as it targets the source of the infestation and disrupts the wasps’ breeding cycle.

🛑 Safe and Professional Wasp Nest Removal

Our technicians are fully trained in safe wasp nest removal techniques. We use protective equipment and follow strict safety protocols to minimise risk to people and pets during the process. Wasp nests may be found in:

  • Trees and bushes
  • Roof voids or under eaves
  • Wall cavities or ceiling spaces
  • Garages, sheds, or underground areas

The complexity of removal depends on the nest’s size, location, and species (such as European wasps or paper wasps), but our team has the experience and equipment to handle it safely and efficiently.
