Have you ever been stung by something mysterious? Often you will not see the perpetrator. When this happens, your local Jim’s Pest Control technician knows it is likely to have been a wasp.

These sneaky little critters seem to wait in ambush for you to walk past. If the truth be known, they are only protecting their young from predators.

They often set up their nests under eave lines and plants. It can be hard to spot where they are coming from, and this is where the expertise of your local Jim’s Canberra pest exterminator will come in handy.

Do you always eradicate the wasps or sometimes relocate the nest?

In most cases we use a targeted extermination method to neutralise the nest safely and thoroughly. Because many wasp species pose serious risk if disturbed, relocation isn’t typically viable. Our priority is removing the threat while protecting people and property.

How dangerous are wasp nests and stings?

Wasps sting repeatedly, and reactions can range from pain and swelling to severe allergy or anaphylaxis in susceptible individuals. Nests in high-traffic areas risk aggressive attacks when disturbed. That’s why professional removal following strict safety protocols is essential.

Can I attempt DIY wasp nest removal?

No, it’s very risky. Wasps defend their nests aggressively, and without proper equipment and training, you could provoke multiple stings. Always call a licensed technician who uses protective gear, specialist treatments and the correct approach to handle nests safely.

How fast can you respond to a wasp nest call?

We aim for prompt response, often same-day where possible (depending on schedule and location). Because wasp activity can escalate quickly, priority is given to urgent jobs. When you call, we’ll discuss expected arrival times and nest risks.

What kind of nests and locations do you treat?

We deal with nests in eaves, roof voids, wall cavities, under decks, in sheds, in trees, and underground. Whether a paper wasp nest or more hidden species, we locate and treat them safely, even in awkward or hard-to-reach spots.

Do you provide prevention advice after removal?

Yes. After the nest is treated, we offer steps to prevent wasps returning. This includes sealing cracks, clearing vegetation, managing food waste, and regular inspections. We aim to help your property stay wasp-free long term.
