European wasps will sting unprovoked at several metres from the nest, release alarm pheromone that recruits more workers to attack, and can sting multiple times without dying. Paper wasps are defensive only when their nest is closely approached. The scale difference and unprovoked aggression make European wasps a different category of risk entirely.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can European wasps sting multiple times?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. Unlike honey bees, European wasps can sting multiple times without dying as their stinger does not have barbs that lodge in human skin. They also release an alarm pheromone when they sting that signals nearby workers to join the attack. A single disturbance near a large nest can result in dozens of stings in seconds.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do I have to report European wasps?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. European wasps (Vespula germanica) are a Biosecurity Queensland regulated pest under the Biosecurity Act 2014. Landowners who are aware of a European wasp nest on their property have a general biosecurity obligation to report it and take reasonable steps to manage it. We handle the Biosecurity Queensland notification as part of our treatment service.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much does European wasp treatment cost in Brisbane?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"European wasp treatment costs $280-$420 depending on nest size and access. This includes attendance in full protective equipment, insecticidal dust application, Biosecurity Queensland reporting, and a follow-up assessment at 72 hours. Ground nests accessible in a lawn area are at the lower end of the price range. Roof void or wall cavity nests with difficult access are at the upper end.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What do I do if I find a European wasp nest?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Do not approach the nest, spray it, or attempt to block the entrance. Keep children and pets well away from the area. Call 0406 178 471 immediately for same-day treatment. Mark the nest location from a safe distance (photograph or landmark note) so the technician can locate it efficiently.

Colony size: up to 100,000 workers vs 200 in a paper wasp nest. Aggression: European wasps sting at several metres distance with minimal provocation, whereas paper wasps only sting when the nest is closely approached. Alarm pheromone: each European wasp sting releases a chemical signal that recruits nearby workers to join the attack, escalating the situation rapidly.<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-q\"><span class=\"faq-qt\">Can European wasps sting multiple times?<\/span><div class=\"faq-tog\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq-ans\">Yes. Their stinger has no barb that lodges in skin, so each wasp can sting multiple times without dying. Unlike honey bees, which die after stinging, a European wasp can sting repeatedly. Each sting releases an alarm pheromone signalling nearby workers, so a single disturbed wasp can trigger an attack involving dozens or hundreds of workers within seconds.<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-q\"><span class=\"faq-qt\">Do I have to report European wasps?<\/span><div class=\"faq-tog\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq-ans\">Yes.
