Edmonton Wasp Control

Avoiding wasp nests isn’t always possible, especially when they’re near areas where your family likes to spend time, like your back deck. We recommend against DIY solutions, such as using hardware store wasp spray without the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for wasp control. There’s a high probability you’ll end up getting stung, and it’s unlikely to solve the problem permanently.

Professional wasp exterminators have the right equipment and experience to eliminate nests completely and safely. If you live in or near Edmonton, calling an experienced wasp control company like Savvy Pest Control is your wisest choice. We’ll get rid of the nest properly so you can enjoy your backyard barbecues all summer without fear of being swarmed by aggressive wasps.

When it comes to dealing with wasp or hornet nests, it’s essential to seek and hire the services of technicians who can effectively exterminate this type of insect.

Relying on Savvy Pest Control is always a smart choice, as we work with the following treatment options, depending on the specific circumstances of each case.

Aerosol Treatments

Directly applying an aerosol onto the nest is an effective wasp control strategy. For the treatment to be successful, it’s necessary to eliminate the queen, as this will also cause the colony to disappear.

Dust Treatments

In many instances, wasp nests are not visible, as they are concealed in all sorts of crevices, and even underground. For effective wasp control in these cases, the treatment applied to the nest may be made of residual dust, capable of being passed from wasp to wasp, ultimately eradicating the entire colony.

Wasp Nest Removal

Once all the wasps have been eradicated, as experts in wasp control, we may proceed with the removal of the nest. These types of tasks are usually carried out in the early morning or late afternoon.

Contrary to appearances, the truth is that there are different types of wasps and hornets. Specifically, in Canada, you can come across nests of species such as paper wasps, hornets, yellow jackets or mud daubers. Paper wasps create distinctive umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and overhangs, while yellow jackets typically build their colonies underground or in wall cavities. Hornets, the largest of these species, construct aerial nests in trees or shrubs. Mud daubers are more solitary, creating individual clay tubes for their young.

Each species has unique nesting behaviors and seasonal patterns. Mud daubers are the calmest, while paper wasps show moderate defensive behavior, and yellow jackets and hornets are highly prone to attack. This variation makes identification important for proper wasp control and safety around your property.
