About European Wasps


Wasps, especially European wasps, are one of Australiaā€™s most disliked insects – and for good reason. With a lack of predators and a nasty sting, these destructive, introduced pests are a big problem for humans, animals, and the environment.

Is It A Wasp Or A Bee?

We often get calls from customers unsure if they have a bee or a wasp problem.

Bees have robust, rounded bodies with flattened legs to collect pollen. They typically retract their legs so that they’re not visible in flight, whereas wasps do not.

Wasps have cylindrical bodies, with a narrow waist connecting the thorax to the abdomen, and slender legs. They’re sleeker and more streamlined for hunting.

Find out more about the differences in our article about wasps vs bees.

Wasp or bee?

Why Are There So Many Wasps?

Many of us are familiar with the appearance of wasps in the warmer summer months.

A warmer climate extends the life cycle of European wasps, and a lack of predators increases their chance of survival. European wasps have increasingly become a big problem in Victoria.

By reaping the benefits of mild winters that generate longer life cycles, European wasps have been found to build nests four times larger than those found in Europe.

Wasp nest removals in Victoria have kept Ben’s Bees very busy! See the video below where Ben’s Bees was featured in a Channel 10 News segment about the increase in wasps in Victoria. You’ll get to see Ben Moore perform a live wasp nest removal.

Why Remove Wasps Nests?

Aside from their nasty sting, European wasps are a big problem for animals and the environment, which is why professional European wasp nest removal is important.

European wasps are known to:

* Prey on indigenous fauna, especially other insects
* Compete for nectar and food
* Remain unthreatened by their usual native predators and pesticides
* Kill pets and even livestock in Victoria
* Raid beehives for honey and bees
* Decimate grape and fruit crops
* Emit a scent that alerts other wasps to attack

This company is amazing. The service is first class and the cost is very affordable. I had Ben’s Bees come out and remove a wasp nest – they did it within 3 hours. Four days later, I discovered an even bigger nest in a different area. I contacted Ben and he came out and removed the second one free of charge – that’s what I call amazing customer service! Thank you Ben’s Bees, you are an amazing company and I would highly recommend them!

Ben came and dealt with some European wasps at my Mum’s house today. He was so lovely and very helpful over the phone.

He arrived on time, did the job (which is guaranteed) and his price was excellent. Thank you, Ben, love your work!

I had the most outstanding experience with Ben who helped me out treating some nasty wasps that had moved into my house. Not only is he professional and very knowledgeable but he is a genuine, down-to-earth bloke who really cares about doing the right thing. I am so grateful to him for going above and beyond to help me out in a tricky and stressful situation. Iā€™m also really pleased to support a business producing local honey and supporting Australian bees. Thanks, Ben!

Ben came to our house recently to remove a wasp nest underground. He arrived on time and was friendly and knowledgeable (I wish tradies were like this!). You can tell he is very passionate about his job and the ecosystem. The honey left behind was the cherry on the top. Cheers, Ben!
