Wasp nests around Everton Park tend to build up under eaves, inside wall cavities, beneath decks or tucked into sheds, often growing for weeks before anyone notices the activity from the ground. Spring and summer are when most calls come in, as colonies expand and become easier to spot.
When you call, describe roughly where the nest is and how big it looks from where you are standing, since that shapes how the crew approaches the job. For Everton Park properties, common spots include eaves over a back door, under a deck or pergola, and inside garden sheds or switchboards.
- Eaves and roof lines
- Decks, pergolas and outdoor living areas
- Sheds, garages and switchboards
- Garden beds and retaining walls
- Fence lines and hedges
The wide eaves common on brick homes around Everton Park give wasps plenty of sheltered spots to build, so it is worth checking these areas each spring before a nest has the chance to grow large.
Once a nest has been dealt with, it is worth keeping an eye on the same spot for a week or two, since wasps sometimes attempt to rebuild nearby if the original site suited them. Checking under eaves, around switchboards and inside garden sheds each spring, before activity builds up, makes nests easier to deal with while they are still small. Brick homes with wide roof overhangs around Everton Park tend to have more of these sheltered spots than newer, more compact builds, so it pays to work through each eave in turn. If you spot a new nest starting elsewhere on the Everton Park property after a visit, call again rather than trying to deal with it yourself, particularly if it is above head height or hard to reach.
A price is given before the crew starts, and you will be told how long to keep the area clear afterwards. If you have spotted a wasp nest anywhere around your Everton Park property, call 07 3543 7765 and we will get someone booked in.
