Wasps are a summer and autumn problem around Werribee. European wasps are yellow and black, a little larger than a bee, and they build papery nests in the ground, in wall cavities, in roof spaces and inside sheds. A nest that starts small in spring can hold thousands of wasps by late summer, and they become more aggressive around food as the season goes on. Paper wasps build small, open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, pergolas and fence rails.
A steady stream of wasps flying in and out of a hole in the lawn, a gap in the brickwork or the edge of the eaves is a clear sign of a nest. Do not block the hole or pour anything into it, as this can send wasps out through another gap and into the house. Keep children and pets away and call us instead.

Wasps are drawn to meat, sweet drinks, pet food and fallen fruit, so yards with fruit trees, barbecues and outdoor dining areas see more of them. Larger blocks in Werribee South and on the rural edges of Wyndham often have nests in sheds and old machinery, while new estates see paper wasps under fresh eaves.
