Wasps often return to the same spots year after year. Old nest marks under the eaves draw paper wasps back, and gaps under roof sheets or around vents let them build out of sight. Wasp proofing means removing old nests and marks and closing the gaps wasps use, so your Toowong home is less inviting when the next season starts.
When you call, we ask where wasps have built before, the age and style of the home and whether you have noticed new activity. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. It works well straight after a nest removal, or as a job on its own in late winter before wasps start building in spring.
At the visit, the crew walks the outside of the house and checks the roof line, eaves, vents, weep holes and pipe entries. They scrape off old nest stalks and mud nests, then explain which gaps they suggest closing and what they would use, such as mesh, filler, sealant or new flashing. The crew only proofs areas with no active nests, so if they find one, they talk you through dealing with it first.

Proofing will not stop every wasp, but it makes the favourite spots around your home harder to use. Keeping bins closed and fallen fruit cleared also helps. To book wasp proofing in Toowong, call 07 3543 7771.
