European wasps and paper wasps build nests under eaves, inside wall cavities, in sheds and sometimes underground around Mordialloc gardens, and a nest close to a doorway, clothesline or entertaining area is usually the reason people call. It is best not to approach or disturb a nest yourself, since wasps defend it in numbers if they feel threatened, so it is worth leaving that part to the crew we book.
Gardens and sheds around Mordialloc with quiet, undisturbed corners tend to be where nests are found, often not noticed until there is regular wasp activity coming and going from one spot. The local team will locate the nest, check whether it is active, and deal with it using an approach suited to where it is, whether that is under an eave, inside a wall cavity or somewhere in the yard.
Wasp nests in Mordialloc are most active through late summer and autumn, when colony numbers peak and defensive behaviour increases around the nest entrance. A nest noticed early, while it is still small, is generally a simpler job than one left until the colony has grown through a full season, so it is worth calling as soon as regular activity is noticed around one spot.
