Hornet Removal for Homes and Businesses
When people call about hornets in Australia, they are usually describing large wasps - such as big native wasps that build mud or paper nests, or European wasps whose bright yellow and black bodies look intimidating. The first step is always working out exactly what is nesting on your property.
Our hornet removal service starts with identification. We look at the size, colouring and behaviour of the wasps and where they are entering and leaving, then locate the nest and deal with it in a way that suits the wasp and the location.
We remove large wasp nests from roof spaces, wall cavities, sheds, trees, the ground and commercial buildings. Please keep clear of an active nest and let us know what you have seen.
Signs You May Need Wasp Removal
You don't always see the nest first - often it is the wasps that give it away. Common signs include:
- Wasps repeatedly flying to and from the same spot
- A papery, grey or brown nest under an eave, on a branch or in a shed
- Wasps entering and leaving a hole in a wall, roof space or the ground
- A steady buzzing or scratching sound inside a wall or ceiling
- Mud tubes or small mud cells on walls, under eaves or in garages
- Wasps gathering around bins, outdoor dining areas or pet food
If you notice any of these, please avoid disturbing the area and get in touch. We will inspect the property to find the nest, even when it is out of sight.
Where Wasp Nests Hide
Wasps choose sheltered, quiet spots close to food. We regularly find nests in:
- Roof eaves and gutters
- Roof voids and ceilings
- Wall cavities and weep holes
- Sheds and garages
- Trees, shrubs and hedges
- Underground burrows and lawns
- Under decks, pergolas and patios
- Letterboxes and meter boxes
- Barbecues and outdoor furniture
- Playground equipment
- Hanging pots and garden ornaments
- Awnings, signs and loading docks

Hornet Removal FAQs
Do you have hornets in Australia?
True hornets are not established in Australia. Large wasps that people call hornets are usually native wasps or European wasps, and we identify what you have before we treat the nest.
How do I tell what kind of wasp I have?
Size, colour, nest shape and behaviour help. Yellow and black wasps nesting in the ground or walls may be European wasps; mud tubes point to mud daubers; open, umbrella-shaped combs are paper wasps.
How do you quote for hornet removal?
We give you a clear written quote after inspection, based on the wasp, the nest size and how hard it is to reach. There are no hidden charges.
Should I try to remove a large nest myself?
No. Please keep clear of the nest and contact us. Large nests hold many wasps that will defend it.
Do you remove hornet-like wasp nests from commercial properties?
Yes, from warehouses, schools, cafes, childcare centres and other commercial buildings.
