When a wasp nest is dangerous
Wasp nests can become dangerous quickly, especially near doors, windows and busy areas.
When to worry
Nests near doors, windows, play areas or where people pass regularly can become a real hazard.
Don't treat it yourself
Disturbing a nest can provoke a swarm of stings. Professional treatment is much safer.
Spotting a nest
Look for wasps flying to and from a single point — under eaves, in lofts, sheds or wall cavities.
