Found a wasp nest?
Keep your distance. Let us assess it.
Pest Block provides professional wasp control across Auckland. We assess the location, activity and accessibility of the nest before recommending the appropriate treatment.
Why wasp jobs should be assessed before treatment.
Nest location, height, access, surrounding people and the route wasps are using can all affect the safest and most appropriate treatment approach.
Access can be difficult
Nests may be high, concealed or positioned where ladders, roof access or other considerations change the job.
The visible activity may lead elsewhere
Wasps entering one opening may be travelling to a nest hidden within a void or sheltered area.
Disturbing a nest can increase risk
DIY attempts can provoke defensive activity, so keeping people away from an active nest is the safer approach until it is assessed.
How Pest Block approaches wasp control.
We look at the nest or activity point first, then recommend treatment based on location, access and surrounding conditions.
Locate
Identify the nest or the main entry/exit point being used by wasps.
Assess access
Consider height, concealment, proximity to people and how the site can be approached safely.
Treat
Carry out the agreed professional wasp treatment appropriate to the site.
Advise
Explain what to expect afterwards and whether any further action is required.
Avoid disturbing the nest before the visit.
The most useful thing you can do is keep the area clear and tell us exactly where the activity is happening.
Wasp pressure can be seasonal and site-specific.
For properties that experience broader recurring pest issues, Pest Block Protection can include scheduled inspections and practical prevention advice.

The quote and treatment approach depend heavily on nest location and access.
Can I spray a wasp nest myself?
Approaching or disturbing an active nest can lead to defensive stinging. If you are unsure about the nest or access, professional assessment is the safer option.
What if I cannot see the nest?
Tell Pest Block where the wasps are entering and leaving. The visible access point can still provide useful information even when the nest itself is concealed.
Does nest height affect the quote?
It can. Height, access, concealment and location can all change the equipment, time and treatment required.
How quickly will wasp activity stop?
This depends on the nest, treatment and site. Pest Block will explain what to expect after the treatment used.
