Clovelly’s warm climate and abundance of flowering plants make it a prime location for bees and wasps to thrive. These pests are not only a nuisance but can also pose serious risks, especially when nests are built in high-traffic areas like doorways, windows, or outdoor dining spaces. A single wasp nest can house thousands of insects, and disturbing it can lead to painful stings. Bees, while generally less aggressive, can become defensive if their hive is threatened, particularly in confined spaces like roof voids or wall cavities.
In Clovelly, we often encounter paper wasps constructing their characteristic umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, in garages, or on outdoor structures. European wasps, which are more aggressive, may build nests in the ground or within wall cavities. Honeybees, on the other hand, tend to colonise roof spaces, chimneys, or even inside hollow trees. Each species requires a different approach, and our team is trained to identify and treat them safely and effectively.
If you’ve noticed bees or wasps around your Clovelly property, it’s important to act quickly. Early intervention can prevent nests from growing larger and more difficult to remove. Signs of an infestation include seeing multiple bees or wasps entering and exiting a single point, hearing buzzing sounds from within walls or ceilings, or finding chewed wood or paper-like materials (a sign of wasp nest construction).
