Wasp Removal Edmonton | Wasp Nest Control & Prevention
Why Wasps Are a Problem
While small and seemingly harmless, wasps can cause serious problems in your Edmonton home. They reproduce fast, carry diseases, and cause expensive damage. wasps can squeeze through gaps as small as 6 mm (the width of a pencil) and a single pair can produce up to 60 offspring in a year (Government of Alberta, 2024). Without professional intervention, a small problem can become a full-blown infestation within months. That is why early action matters.

Signs of a Wasp Infestation
It is crucial to catch a wasp infestation early before it gets out of hand. wasps are nocturnal and excellent at hiding indoors. By the time you see one during the day, the infestation is usually well-established. Keep an eye out for these signs: droppings (small, dark, pellet-shaped), gnaw marks on food packaging or wires, scratching noises in walls and attics at night, nests made from shredded paper or insulation, greasy rub marks along baseboards, and daytime sightings of live wasps which indicate a large infestation.
Our Wasp Control Process
At Edmonton Pest Control we offer a comprehensive multi-step approach to wasp control. Our goal is not only to eliminate the wasps you already have but to prevent them from returning. Here is how we do it:
1. Thorough Inspection – We start with a detailed inspection to assess the extent of the infestation. Our technicians will identify entry points, locate nests and droppings, assess food and water sources, and determine the best treatment strategy. We provide a detailed assessment and a customized treatment plan.
2. Seal Entry Points – wasps can fit through incredibly small openings as small as a dime (6 mm). We focus on identifying and sealing all possible entry points including cracks in walls, gaps around windows and doors, holes around pipes and vents, and roofline gaps. We use steel wool, copper mesh, caulking, and expanding foam. wasps cannot chew through these materials.
Why sealing entry points matters: It prevents new wasps from entering, it stops the source rather than just catching individuals, and it provides long-term protection for your Edmonton home.
3. Traps and Removal – We use safe and effective traps to capture and remove existing wasps. Snap traps for small infestations, multiple-catch traps for larger populations, and tamper-resistant bait stations where needed. Our experts place traps strategically based on wasp activity and nest locations. We check and reset traps on follow-up visits until the infestation is cleared.
4. Follow-Up and Prevention – wasps removal is not a one-and-done job. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor trap activity, re-seal any new entry points, provide prevention advice tailored to your Edmonton home, and offer ongoing maintenance plans for high-risk properties.
wasp cause an estimated $300 million in property damage annually across Canada (Canadian Pest Management Association). Our professional wasps removal service addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
