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.
