What Is Actually Involved
If you can watch steady two-way traffic into one small opening, the nest is behind it. Cavity nests are common in Melbourne because a roof void or wall cavity is exactly what a founding queen wants in spring: dry, dark, sheltered and undisturbed. By February that tennis-ball nest can fill a substantial part of the void.
The critical thing is what you must not do. Do not block the entrance. Wasps denied their usual way out will chew a new one, and from inside a wall cavity the softest material is very often the plasterboard on your side. We have attended houses where a sealed weep hole turned a contained outdoor problem into wasps in a bedroom. Treatment goes into the entry point instead, so the workers carry it through the nest themselves.
What Wasp Removal Costs In Melbourne
Three things move the number: where the nest is, how high up it is, and how big it has grown. Nothing else — and never how worried you sounded on the phone.

Prices include GST and are confirmed in writing before any work begins. We beat any written like-for-like quote from another licensed Melbourne operator by 5%. Multiple nests on one property are quoted together rather than charged separately.
Four Steps, One Price
You know the cost before step three.
Tell Us What You See
Where the wasps are going, roughly how many, and how high up. That is usually enough for a firm price over the phone.
Upfront Quotes
You approve a written price before anyone is dispatched.
Treat At The Source
The nest or entry point is treated directly so workers carry the product inside and the colony dies, rather than relocating.
Check And Warrant
We confirm the nest is dead, remove it where that is safe, and back it with a 6-month warranty. If it comes back, so do we.
Six Months On Every Nest. Five Percent Off Any Written Quote.
Every nest we treat carries a 6-month warranty. If there is still activity at that nest, we come back and deal with it at no charge — because a treatment that only knocked down the workers has not done the job.

Warranty covers the nest we treated. A new nest built elsewhere on the property later in the season is a separate job. Price-beat applies to written quotes for equivalent scope.Questions About Nest In A Roof Or Wall
Not sure whether it is wasps or bees? Describe what you can see when you call and we will tell you, free of charge.
Why can you not just remove the nest?
Because it is inside the structure. Opening a roof or wall to physically extract a live nest costs far more than treating it and causes damage for no benefit – once the colony is dead the nest is inert and will not be reused.
Should I seal the hole after they are gone?
Yes, but only once we have confirmed the nest is dead. Sealing it while there is activity is the mistake that drives them inside. After that, closing the gap is sensible prevention for next spring.
How much does a cavity nest cost to treat?
From $249, typically $249 to $399 depending on height, access and how big the nest has grown. You get a quote before we attend.
Will the dead nest cause a smell or attract anything?
A very large nest can occasionally cause a short-lived smell. It is uncommon, and far less trouble than the damage caused by opening up a wall to remove it.
They are in the roof – is my ceiling at risk?
Only really if the entrance is blocked or the nest is disturbed. Left alone and treated properly at the entry, the colony dies inside the void without ever coming through.
