🐝 Ottawa Pest Control — Wasp & Hornet Removal

Wasp & Hornet Removal Ottawa

Safe nest removal — same day in most cases.

What you need to know

Ottawa sees three main stinging insects: bald-faced hornets (aerial paper nests), yellow jackets (ground and wall void nests), and European paper wasps (open nests under eaves). Each requires a different product, timing, and technique. Species identification comes first — incorrect treatment is dangerous.

Warning signs

✓Visible nest under eaves, in trees, or attached to structure
✓Heavy wasp traffic entering a wall void or soffit gap
✓Unexplained wasps appearing inside the home
✓Buzzing sounds from inside a wall during warm parts of the day

FAQ — Wasp & Hornet Removal Ottawa

Can you treat wasps same day?+

In most cases yes. Wasp calls are high priority May through September. We keep same-day slots available for active nests.

What if the nest is inside a wall?+

Wall void nests are treated through a small entry point using residual dust. We do not open walls. Treated, sealed, and monitored.

When is the best time to treat wasps?+

Late evening when all workers are in the nest and temperatures have dropped. This maximizes effectiveness and minimizes risk.
