Saw lots of wasps flying in and out beneath this shrub and discovered a nest. Does anyone still remove nests?

I just paid a pest control company to kill two nests on my property as our council no longer does it, not sure about the ACT

I found this online and sent a message. We'll see...
If you require any advice on European wasps or would like to report a wasp nest on government land, contact CoreEnviro Solutions' free European wasp hotline via their website or 6258 5551.

This reporting works as I received a message for more details on the location. Worth putting on the European Wasp index page?

I'm please to report that this nest has been treated. Hopefully at night /evening when all the wasps were at home.
