If you locate a wasp nest or beehive on Council property and you believe it poses a risk to the public you should report it by contacting our Environmental Health team on (03) 5471 1700 or report the issue online.
What to do about wasps or bees on private property
Council does not treat wasp nests or beehives on private property.
If you want to have a beehive removed from your own property you will need to contact an apiarist. You can find the details for apiarists by searching online.
If you find a wasp nest on your property it is recommended that you engage a licensed pest controller to treat the nest. If you feel confident to treat the nest yourself there are a number of products available through hardware stores. Make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
