A wasp nest?
We remove it safely.
Eaves, shed, hole in the ground: a wasp nest gets aggressive late in the season. Fast, safe service in the evening, within 24 hours, available 24/7. Above all, don’t touch the nest.
A garden hose won't solve a wasp nest. It takes a safe approach.
Yellowjackets (Vespula) nest in the ground and in cavities such as walls, sheds and under decks, while nests hanging from trees and eaves are usually built by Dolichovespula species. In late summer, food gets scarce and the colony becomes aggressive: disturbing a nest means multiple stings, which are dangerous for people with allergies. Our certified technicians work in protective beekeeping suits, usually in the evening, with Health Canada-registered products.
House, business, daycare or seniors’ residence: we neutralize the nest, confirm there is no more activity, then advise you on how to prevent a return.
The longer you wait, the more it costs.
An immediate danger for the family
Unlike the honeybee, a wasp can sting several times. A nest near a door, a balcony or a play area is a real risk, especially for people with allergies.
Late season makes the colony aggressive
From August to October, wasps are more numerous and more nervous. Waiting lets the nest grow and the risk increase.
Tackling the nest yourself is risky
Water, fire or a long-range spray only kill part of the colony and trigger a mass counterattack. The job takes the right equipment and technique.
Fast, safe service
Insecticide dust injected into the nest entrance in the evening, in protective gear, then a check. Written guarantee offered depending on the treatment chosen.

Eaves and cornices
Roof joints and cornices often hide the most active nests. We treat them safely, without tearing anything down.
Sheds and decks
Sheds, the space under decks and woodpiles offer ideal cavities. We find the entrance and neutralize the colony.
