Common Wasp Species in Western Australia
Various species of paper wasps are present in Australia, but only the yellow paper wasp, Polistes dominulus, and the common paper wasp, Polistes humilis, are commonly found in south-west Western Australia (WA).
The European wasp, Vespula germanica, is also present. This introduced pest forms large colonies that produce significant numbers of workers that can be a nuisance and hazard when swarming and defending nests.
Other species of social wasps found in WA include:
- Potter wasp (Eumenes latreillei)
- Australian common aerial yellowjacket (Vespula australis)
- Tree wasp (Dolichovespula spp.)

Why Are Wasps Pests?
Wasps bother people and can even be dangerous. This makes them unwelcome pests around homes and businesses.
Some reasons these social insects cause issues include:
- They guard nests when disturbed, stinging anything nearby. Stings are painful and repeated stings can kill pets or harm people.
- Some unlucky people are allergic to wasp venom. For them a few stings may cause life-threatening reactions needing emergency help.
- Large nests appearing on properties worries owners. People fear getting attacked by angry swarming insects.
- They scavenging for food steal picnic items, rummage through rubbish bins, and fly inside homes. This frightens residents and employees.
- Removing nests yourself risks being stung. So property owners must pay pest controllers to make nests go away safely. This costs time and money.
Signs of Wasp Infestation
How can you tell if wasps are setting up home on your property?
Watch for these common giveaways:
- Seeing multiple wasps flying near one area daily. This shows scout wasps have picked a nesting spot.
- Small grey paper nests start appearing on walls, eaves, trees etc. This signals established colonies.
- Loud buzzing heard coming from a hole, bush or outdoor structure on your property. Active hives make noticeable noise.
- Getting stung after accidentally disturbing hidden nesting areas. Defensive workers alert colonies to protect eggs.
- Increased wasp activity scavenging around bins, gardens, patios for meat, fruit and sweet drinks. Large colonies need feeding.
- Large wasp swarms chasing people in late summer. High wasp traffic means big, aggressive hives are present.
Any signs of wasps settling around your property means their stinging risk is rising. The sooner you take action, the easier removing nests will be.

Tips To Prevent Wasps Coming Back
Even after professional wasp nest removal, they may come back if conditions still suit them. Make your property less welcoming to these pests with these handy prevention tips:
- Install fine mesh screens over potential indoor and outdoor nesting spots like vents, cavities, holes etc. This blocks access.
- Clear away fallen fruit/veg scraps, meat bones, pet food bowls before night to limit wasp food sources.
- Keep rubbish bins tightly sealed, especially those containing sugary, meaty or fruity waste.
- Use sprinkle repellents containing natural pyrethrins, mint oil or garlic concentrate in garden beds, patios.
- Cover nectar-rich flowering plants they are attracted to with mesh once petals start dropping.
- Remove standing water sources like old pot plant dishes, blocked gutters where they drink.
- Plug small gaps along roof edges, wall cracks, door frames where scout enter to start nests.
- Attach fake wasp nests under eaves in spring to trick they into avoiding your property for safety.

FAQs
How soon should I call about a small wasp nest?
Acting quickly against new papery nests will prevent larger infestations. Small colonies of less than 100 wasps can often be treated using a simple dust or surface spray application. The longer you wait, the more difficult hive removal becomes.
What signs mean I have wasps inside my walls or roof?
Hearing loud buzzing noises coming from within ceiling and wall cavities points to indoor nesting. Wasps entering via small cracks but never emerging is another hint. Some other clues are mysterious stains or strange smells nearby. If a mud nest is hidden internally, our pest inspectors have the gear to pinpoint the spot for targeted injection treatments.
What dangers do wasps pose to my family and pets?
Wasp attacks aggressively defending territory will chase and sting anything perceived as a threat. Their stings can cause mild to severe reactions depending on a person’s sensitivity. Pets stung on the face or in mouth often need urgent medical care. People allergic to venom risk life-threatening anaphylaxis. Removing parasitic wasps protects your loved ones from harm.
