Picture a small grey disc of cells on a short stalk, tucked under an eave, beneath a pergola beam or sitting low in a shrub, with a few long-legged wasps resting on its face. From six metres back it looks like nothing much, which is why people walk up to it holding a broom.<\/p>\n<p>These are not European wasps. The colony stays small, the wasps ignore you if you keep your distance, and out in the garden they hunt caterpillars to feed their young. What they will do is defend the nest, and because the cells sit exposed rather than hidden in a wall, that defence starts the second something bumps the structure. This work sits inside the <a href=\"https:\/\/stagingloom.com\/tim\/services\/wasp-nest-removal-melbourne\/\">wasp nest removal Tim handles across Melbourne<\/a>, and it is the nest he is called to most between December and the end of March.<\/p>\n<p>Below: being certain of the species, the spots these nests keep appearing in, the honest answer on leaving one alone, how the comb comes off, and what moves the quote.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"sec\" aria-labelledby=\"identify\">\n<div class=\"wrap\"><div class=\"shead\"><p class=eyebrow>Identification<\/p><h2 id=\"identify\">How do you identify a paper wasp nest?<\/h2><\/div><p class=\"ans\"><b>Look for open cells, a single stalk and no outer casing.<\/b> A paper wasp nest is a shallow comb of six-sided cells hanging face down from one thin stem.

Indicative ranges by pest live on the <a href=\"https:\/\/stagingloom.com\/tim\/pricing\/\">Melbourne pest control cost guide<\/a>. One caution when comparing quotes: a cheap wasp price often buys a squirt at the single comb you named, with no walk of the block, so the nest two eaves along becomes next month's problem.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"sec\" aria-labelledby=\"book\">\n<div class=\"wrap\"><div class=\"split\"><div><div class=\"shead wide\"><p class=eyebrow>Booking<\/p><h2 id=\"book\">How quickly can a paper wasp nest be dealt with?<\/h2><\/div><p class=\"ans\"><b>Most weeks there is a slot inside a few days, and a comb above an entry, a baby's window or a path small children use gets moved up the list.<\/b> Three things settle it on the first call: a photograph taken from well back, roughly how high the comb hangs, and whether anyone there has reacted badly to a sting.<\/p><div class=\"prose\"><p>Tim runs the business on his own: no subcontractors, no call centre, nobody arriving who has not heard the story.
