Wasps Coming from a Neighbour’s Property in Melbourne?

The practical answer

Repeated wasp visits to your garden do not establish that the nest belongs to the nearest neighbour. Wasps can forage away from their nest. Keep food covered, avoid following insects through private property and discuss the observed flight route calmly with the relevant owner or manager.

Treatment requires access to the actual site

An operator can assess the activity you report, but cannot assume permission to enter another property. If a nest entrance is already visible from your own safe position, note the landmark and boundary. The person authorising work should arrange legitimate access before a treatment visit is promised.

What to do before the visit

• Keep your observations factual and avoid guessing ownership.
• Move activities away from the flight path.
• Ask the operator what evidence would help locate the source.

Questions that define the work

• Can you assess the source from our property?
• What access permission is needed if it is next door?
• Is an assessment separate from nest treatment?

What happens next?

A reduction in food visitors is not proof that the source nest has been treated. Agree who will receive updates and any aftercare instructions. Do not place pesticide across a boundary or interfere with an unseen nest.
