Hawke's Bay residents are urged to call in the professionals when trying to deal with pesky wasp nests.
Commercial beekeeper and part-time exterminator Kieran Chisnall, of Chizzy's Honey Ltd, noticed wasps starting to hang around hives in a paddock near Porangahau, 45km south of Waipukurau.
"This time of year, wasps attack bees," he explained.
"They can wipe out an entire hive."
