Safe, effective wasp pest control and wasp nest removal in Greater Sydney

Wasp Pest Control Sydney

Getting stung by a wasp is no small thing. Whether it's your house, your backyard or your business, once wasps set up shop, they pose safety, health and nuisance risks. At Ecovia, we deliver premium wasp pest control services in Sydney — fast, safe, and with long-term results.

Why Wasp Control Is Crucial

Wasps are more than just annoying. Ignoring them can lead to serious consequences:
Health & allergy risk — a single wasp sting can trigger swelling or, in sensitive people, anaphylaxis.
Multiple stings possible — unlike bees, many wasps can sting repeatedly.
Nest growth — colonies can swell rapidly; nests may host thousands of wasps.
Structural risk — nests in wall cavities, eaves or roof voids can exacerbate damage or enter your home.
Deterrent to use of outdoor spaces — patios, gardens and balconies become zones to avoid.
By opting for professional wasp pest control Sydney services, you protect your family, your property and your peace of mind.

Common Wasp Species In Sydney & Their Behaviour

Understanding which wasp species you might face helps with correct treatment. Here are the ones we commonly see around Sydney / New South Wales:

European wasp (Vespula germanica): One of the most troublesome introduced species. Nests in roof cavities, wall voids, trees, ground burrows. Very aggressive when disturbed; repeated stings.
Common wasp (Vespula vulgaris): Similar to European wasp, distinguished by face markings. Also aggressive.
Paper wasps (Polistes spp. / native paper wasps): Build open paper-type comb nests under eaves, gutters, tree branches. Less aggressive but will defend nests.
Mud-nesting wasps: Solitary wasps that build mud tubes on walls or fences. Generally non-aggressive, sting only when handled.
Aggregating paper wasps (Ropalidia plebeiana): Found in eastern NSW in large nest clusters (e.g. under bridges or overhangs). Moderate, defensive behaviour.
Large native wasps (e.g. blue flower wasps / scoliid wasps): Often beneficial predators, rarely nest near homes. Usually harmless unless provoked.
Because there are over 10,000 wasp species in Australia (many harmless), identification is key to correct treatment.

Signs You've Got A Wasp Problem

Here are clear indicators that you may need professional wasp pest control:

A visible nest under eaves, in roof voids, trees, or wall voids
Increased wasp activity around doors, windows, outdoor bins, BBQs
Frequent wasps flying in and out of a small opening in walls or soffits
Sudden aggressive behaviour when near certain parts of your property
Multiple stings or frequent sightings despite DIY sprays
Discovery of wasps inside your home late in the day
If you notice any of these, don't wait — nests grow fast, especially in Sydney's warmer months.

Our Wasp Pest Control Services & Methods

At Ecovia, we use a targeted, safety-first approach to wasp pest control and nest removal. Below are our main methods:

Nest Removal & Direct Treatment: We locate and treat the nest entrance using targeted insecticide (safe, residential-grade). Once the colony is neutralised, we carefully remove the entire nest structure — preventing reuse and reducing re-infestation. (This is standard practice in professional wasp control.)
Residual & Spot Spraying: We apply residual spray around entry points, wall gaps, roof voids, eaves, and garden perimeters. This forms a protective barrier against wandering wasps. We hold current licences and comply with NSW Pesticides Regulation 2017 for safe chemical use.
Dust & Foaming Treatments: For nests inside voids, wall cavities or places we can't access easily, we may use insecticidal dust or foam injected into the cavity to reach hidden wasps.
Exclusion & Sealing: Once treatment is done, we seal cracks, gaps, or access points around eaves, fascias, vents and wall junctions to block future entry.
Monitoring & Follow-Up: We inspect after treatment (within warranty period) to confirm success and address any stragglers or new activity.
All our techniques prioritise safety for people and pets, and we minimise chemical use, focusing only on targeted zones.
