Terminix Canada: Wasp Nest Removal & Hornet Removal Done Right

Terminix Canada has the treatments you need for wasp nest removal and hornet removal in Vancouver. Since bee populations are in danger, for bee hive removal, we refer customers to their local beekeeper to help remove bee hives in a safe and humane way.

Hornets, bees and wasps are concerning enough when they’re buzzing around your Sunday picnic at the park. But when a bee hive or wasp nest is built near your home or business, that’s when you really have something to worry about.

As bee hives and wasp nests grow larger, the queen’s workers will expand the nesting areas by excavating surrounding areas. Not only will the bee, hornet or wasp infestation grow, it’ll lead to them chewing through insulation boards, walls, ceilings, and floors giving them unlimited access to your home.

Why You Need Our Hornet And Wasp Removal Service

• Unlike bees, hornets can sting repeatedly and their venom is much more potent. Plus, they can cause serious allergic reactions.
• Hornets are even more territorial than bees and by late summer, a single colony can have over 5,000 individual hornets. The Asian giant hornet was first found in BC in August 2019 in Nanaimo. If their nest is disturbed, they will attack with painful stings.
• When aggravated, hornets release a pheromone that calls fellow drones in for back-up, driving them into a vicious rage.

Our Hornet and Wasp Exterminators Use Effective Methods

Don’t rely on ineffective DIY methods. Our pest control methods are the safest and most humane techniques in hornet and wasp extermination. We can get rid of all types of hornets and wasps in BC, including Asian giant hornets.

To begin with, we apply special wasp or hornet sprays to the entrances of nests in order to kill flying insects and their unhatched larvae at the same time. From there, we block off the entrances of the nest until the extermination is complete.

If wasps are discovered nesting underground, we have environmentally-friendly insecticides that we’ll apply to wasp nest openings.

Our hornet nest and wasp nest removal in Vancouver takes care of those especially tricky nests concealed in the walls or attic of your home. The best way of getting rid of nests is to utilize our insecticidal dust into the nest area, another feature of our hornet nest and wasp nest removal service.

Wasp Nest & Bee Hive Removal Myths

There are many old wives’ tales about getting rid of wasp nests and bee hives, but most of these folk methods are ineffective at best and outright dangerous at the worst.

For instance, taking a vacuum cleaner to a bee hive’s entrances is more likely to agitate the honey bees than to result in effective pest control. You take the risk of honey bees finding another exit from their hive to attack you, or not doing an adequate job of removing larvae, resulting in the colony rebuilding itself if another queen is born.

Likewise, DIY sprays made from boric acid, citrus or even petrol are not nearly as effective as the special hornet and wasp exterminator sprays that we use, and can generate unwanted fumes. In particular, using a petrol based spray in the summer could easily result in a fire breaking out.
