People in Canberra are being warned against taking matters into their own hands when it comes to dealing with backyard wasps.
Since August the ACT Government’s eWasp hotline has received almost 1,000 calls with reports from residents.
“The majority of nests have been reported on residential land in wall cavities,” said Jim Bariesheff, a pest and weed specialist at CoreEnviro Solutions.
“In four cases the wasps gnawed through the gyprock and entered homes.
“European wasps can be very aggressive at this time of year.”
