The Problem
New Zealand has several aggressive wasp species including German wasps, common wasps, and paper wasps. Wasps build nests in roof cavities, wall voids, trees, and underground. They become increasingly aggressive in late summer and autumn (February to May) as colonies reach peak size. Wasp stings can cause severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and multiple stings can be dangerous for anyone.
Signs of Infestation
- Increased wasp activity around your property
- Visible nest attached to eaves, fences, or trees
- Wasps entering and exiting a gap in walls or roof
- Underground nest entrances in lawns or garden beds
- Wasps hovering around food and drinks outdoors
Our Treatment Approach
Insecticidal dust injection directly into the nest
Residual spray treatment for paper wasp nests
Nest removal once activity has ceased (where accessible)
Protective equipment and safe-distance application methods
Preventative treatments for high-risk areas
Wasp Nest Removal Pricing
