Wasp nests can contain hundreds or even thousands of wasps, depending on the species and time of year. And disturbing an active nest can trigger defensive behaviour.
Wasp nests can contain hundreds or even thousands of wasps, depending on the species and time of year. And disturbing an active nest can trigger defensive behaviour.
If you've found wasps repeatedly entering and leaving the same hole, crack, roof space or tree, there's a good chance the nest is nearby.
It's tempting to reach for supermarket spray, but getting close to an active nest is where things can go wrong. Wasps can become highly defensive when their nest is threatened, and multiple stings can be dangerous.

Our technicians trace wasp activity back to the nest and assess its location before deciding on the most appropriate treatment.
The aim isn't simply to kill the wasps flying around your property. It's to treat the colony where it is nesting so activity drops at the source.
We track wasp activity and locate the nest wherever practical.
The nest is treated using professional pest-control products and equipment appropriate to its location.
We identify potential nesting areas and advise on ways to reduce future wasp activity around your property.
Can I remove a wasp nest myself?
We don't recommend disturbing an active nest. Wasps can become aggressive when their nest is threatened, so professional treatment is the safer option.
How quickly does wasp treatment work?
Treatment begins working at the nest, with activity reducing as the colony is affected. The timeframe depends on the nest size and location.
What if I can't find the nest?
That's okay. Our technicians can follow wasp activity and investigate likely nesting locations.
Do you provide wasp control across Northland?
Yes. We service Whangarei and surrounding Northland areas including Kerikeri, Mangawhai, Kaikohe and Dargaville.
