European wasp treatment costs from $280 due to the additional safety equipment required, the nest scale, and the mandatory Biosecurity Queensland reporting. Mud wasp treatment costs from $180 as these are generally non-aggressive and the clay tubes are removed without insecticide.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What do I do if someone has an anaphylactic reaction to a wasp sting?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Call 000 immediately. Use an EpiPen if one is available. Lay the person flat with legs raised unless they are having difficulty breathing, in which case sit them upright. Do not leave them alone. Symptoms of anaphylaxis include difficulty breathing, throat swelling, rapid pulse, dizziness, and loss of consciousness. Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency requiring immediate ambulance attendance.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is it safe to treat a wasp nest myself?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Attempting DIY wasp nest treatment is a significant sting risk. Consumer wasp sprays require close approach to the nest. Disturbing an active nest triggers a defensive response. Wasps can sting multiple times without losing their stinger. For small, isolated mud wasp tubes this may be manageable, but for paper wasp nests under eaves, European wasp ground nests, or any nest near a traffic area, professional treatment with protective equipment is strongly advised.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are European wasps dangerous in Brisbane?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"European wasps are more dangerous than native paper wasps for two reasons. A European wasp colony can contain up to 100,000 workers, compared to a few hundred in a paper wasp nest. European wasps will sting with minimal provocation at distances of several metres from the nest, unlike paper wasps which are defensive only at close range. European wasps are also a Biosecurity Queensland reportable species due to their threat to native bee and pollinator populations. If you find a European wasp nest, do not approach it. Call 0406 178 471 immediately.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Will wasps come back after the nest is removed?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Once a nest is treated and removed, returning workers from that nest will not rebuild at the same site as the colony is destroyed. However, new wasp colonies may establish at the same location in subsequent seasons if the site provides suitable conditions such as eave shelter, timber frames, or ground access. Applying a residual surface treatment to the previous nest site reduces the likelihood of re-establishment.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What if there is a wasp nest in a wall cavity?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Wasps in a wall cavity are treated with insecticidal dust applied through the entry gap. The nest itself may or may not be removed, depending on the access required. Unlike bee comb, wasp nest material does not cause ongoing damage if left inside the wall after the colony is eliminated. Dead nest material left inside a wall after treatment is inert and does not attract other pests.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are mud wasps dangerous?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Mud wasps (Sceliphron and Abispa species) are solitary and not defensive. They do not nest communally and individual mud wasps will only sting if directly handled. The clay tubes on walls and eaves are an aesthetic nuisance rather than a safety concern. Mud wasp tubes can be removed by hand or with a scraper when the tube is unoccupied, which is most of the time.
