Wasp & Bee Removal

Safe removal and relocation of wasp nests and bee colonies from roofs, walls and trees by equipped technicians.

Overview

A wasp nest near a doorway or a bee colony in a roof cavity is not a job for a broom and a ladder. Disturbed colonies defend themselves aggressively, and multiple stings are dangerous even for people without allergies.

Our technicians work in full protective equipment, treating wasp and hornet nests at the times of day when the colony is least active. Where honey bees are involved we prioritise relocation over destruction wherever the colony position makes that possible, working with local beekeepers to rehome viable colonies.

Signs you may need this service

  • Steady insect traffic to and from a single point on a roof, wall or tree
  • A visible papery nest under eaves or in shrubs
  • Buzzing audible inside a wall or ceiling cavity
  • Increased wasp activity around outdoor food and sugary drinks

How the treatment works

1

Colony evaluation

We confirm the species and nest position, because honey bees, hornets and paper wasps each call for a different method and timing.

2

Treatment or relocation

Wasp and hornet nests are treated directly and removed once inactive. Accessible honey bee colonies are relocated alive with beekeeper partners where feasible.

3

Site clearance

Nest material is removed and the cavity treated so the site does not attract a new colony next season.

Safety measures

Residents are asked to stay indoors with windows closed during removal. Technicians use full sting-proof equipment and, for high nests, proper access gear rather than improvised ladders. We schedule work for early morning or evening when colonies are calmest.

Before your treatment

  • Keep family members and pets indoors during the visit
  • Close windows near the nest site
  • Do not block or spray the nest entrance beforehand, which makes colonies defensive
  • Point out anyone on the property with sting allergies when booking

After your treatment

  • Keep clear of the area until the technician confirms the colony is inactive
  • Dispose of outdoor food and sugary drink containers promptly in season
  • Have the cavity sealed once cleared to prevent recolonisation
Questions

Wasp & Bee Removal FAQs

Not when relocation is possible. Where a colony is accessible we remove it alive and pass it to beekeeping partners. Destruction is a last resort reserved for colonies in positions that make live removal unsafe.
We handle nests on roofs, upper floors and tall trees with proper access equipment. Tell us the approximate height and position when booking so the team arrives equipped.
