Wasps and hornets build nests in a wide range of spots around a Melbourne property — eaves, attic vents, ground burrows, dense shrubs — often going unnoticed until activity picks up. Slab construction is standard here, built for heat and humidity rather than winter cold.
Nest removal starts with locating every entry and exit point, since a nest treated from only one angle can leave insects able to relocate nearby. For destructive species we eliminate the colony on-site; for honeybees, we coordinate relocation to preserve the colony rather than destroying a beneficial pollinator population.
