European wasps build huge underground nests that can hold thousands of aggressive workers. Never tackle a nest yourself — here's how we do it safely.
Penrith and the Blue Mountains foothills see a sharp rise in European wasp activity from December through April. Unlike bees, wasps can sting repeatedly and do not lose their stinger — provoking a nest can trigger mass attack and severe anaphylactic reaction.
European wasps build concealed nests in wall cavities, roof voids, retaining walls and underground burrows. A mature nest can hold 10,000–15,000 workers. Paper wasps build smaller exposed combs under eaves, pergolas and garden sheds — still dangerous near children and pets.
Honey bees are protected and we always recommend live relocation by a registered beekeeper where the swarm is accessible. We can refer you to a local apiarist for swarm collection.
The real cost of doing nothing
Small pest problems rarely stay small in Penrith's climate. Cockroaches can contaminate food areas, rodents can damage wiring and insulation, and termites can keep eating structural timber long before the damage is visible. A proactive inspection or treatment costs a fraction of a major infestation.

For wasps, we suit up in full PPE, treat the nest entrance with a registered dust insecticide at dusk when workers have returned, then return 48 hours later to confirm activity has ceased and remove the nest where safe.
Do not block a nest entrance, spray with water, or attempt removal during the day — both actions massively increase sting risk. Keep children and pets indoors and call 0400 733 222 for urgent wasp removal across Penrith, Glenmore Park, Springwood and Katoomba.
