If you have identified a colony of wasps that are of a concern to you then then responsibility of controlling them will be dependent on where they are located.

Council property - who is responsible? property - who is responsible?

Report all wasp nests that are located on Council land and associated properties. We will arrange for the removal of the nests and the eradication of remaining wasps, as efficiently as possible.

Private property - who is responsible?

If nests are located on your property, or private property, the owner or occupier/tenant is responsible for the removal of wasps. It's advised that the nests are treated by a qualified pest controller who has the proper equipment and measures to deal with the problem safely. It's not recommended that you perform the task yourself.
