Edmonton Wasp Extermination and Treatment

When Wasps are making your place home, Call Us!

Summer in Alberta is a fleeting gift—until a yellow-and-black convoy claims your deck, hijacks the lemonade, and leaves you negotiating peace terms with a paper plate over your face. Effective wasp control is less about vendetta, more about strategy. Understand their biology, remove the incentives, then strike with precision. Do that, and you win back every patio brunch.

1. Know thy enemy
Edmonton yards host three recurring villains: • Yellowjackets build concealed nests in wall voids and root balls, then defend them like medieval knights. • Paper wasps create those umbrella-shaped combs you spot under eaves; they’re calmer but still sting when cornered. • Bald-faced hornets (technically a wasp) fashion basketball-sized gray nests in trees and can chase you 20 m for fun. Correct ID dictates whether you dust, drench, or simply relocate a nest; it also steers the timing—yellowjackets peak in late August, hornets earlier.

2. Stakes and stings
Beyond the obvious pain, wasps threaten severe allergic reactions and can shut down outdoor events, costing restaurants and daycares real money. Unlike bees, a single wasp delivers multiple jabs and releases an alarm pheromone that calls reinforcements. Translation: swat one, and you’d better duck.

3. Exclusion: close the buffet
Wasps scavenge protein in spring (think burger scraps) and carbs in late summer (spilled pop). Tight-fitting lids on garbage cans, weekly compost rinses, and wiping patio tables break their food GPS. Swap sugary hummingbird nectar every 48 hours, otherwise you’re basically running a wasp café.

4. Inspection: find the fortress before you charge
Walk the perimeter at dawn or dusk when traffic is low. Track flight paths; they’re tiny highways leading straight to the nest. For hidden cavities, a stethoscope-style “knock and listen” along siding can reveal buzzing behind drywall.

5. Treatment: precision over panic
DIY aerosol duels often end with stung homeowners and half-dead colonies that rebound angrier. Professionals suit up and use: • Silica-based dust blown deep into voids—wasps groom it, desiccate, and perish within 48 hours. • Non-repellent liquid concentrates that workers track home, spreading lethality like a Trojan horse. • 22-ft telescoping poles for high nests, so nothing falls on your face. Post-treatment, we pull or bag exposed nests because dead combs attract new queens next spring.

6. Prevention: future-proof the house
Seal soffit gaps wider than 3 mm, replace torn vent screens, and caulk around conduit lines. Plant deterrent herbs (peppermint, wormwood) near doorways; they’re not silver bullets, but every little irritant counts. Finally, hang decoy nests only in early May—once real colonies set up, decoys are decorative placebos.

7. Why hire us? 
We’re locally certified, carry $5 M liability insurance, and arrive in unmarked vans for HOA-sensitive neighborhoods. Our eco-forward kits use 70 % less active ingredient than big-box foggers, yet come with a written 90-day “No-Sting Pledge.”

8. Book your rescue 
​Same-day slots hold until 4 p.m., and weekend service costs zero extra because wasps don’t respect office hours.
Bonus intel you didn’t ask for but will love: every autumn, fertilized wasp queens slip into firewood piles to overwinter. Store logs at least 15 cm off the ground and 2 m from walls, and you’ll sidestep next year’s ambush before it hatches.
