Wasp Control Services for Homes & Businesses in Edmonton, AB
Wasp activity can become a concern around Edmonton homes and businesses from summer through early fall, when colonies are active and wasps become more noticeable around properties. Depending on the species, nests may be established in eaves, soffits, wall voids, sheds, garages, trees, shrubs, or underground locations. Wasp activity can be particularly noticeable when nests are located near entrances, outdoor areas, or other places where people spend time.
Orkin Canada provides professional wasp control services to address wasp activity and active nests on residential and commercial properties. Our local Orkin Pros assess the property to identify the wasp species, determine where the nest is located, and evaluate conditions that may be contributing to the activity before recommending an appropriate treatment and prevention approach.
For more information about wasp identification, nesting habits, seasonal activity, and factors that can attract wasps, see our Wasp Guide.

How Wasp Removal Works
Wasp control begins with an assessment of the property to understand the type and extent of wasp activity, locate the nest, and determine the appropriate control options. Since wasp species can differ in their nesting habits and preferred locations, the approach may vary according to the species, nest location, accessibility, level of activity, and conditions around the property.
Stage 1: Inspection: Wasp species and Nest Identification
Our local Orkin Pros inspect the property for signs of wasp activity and assess areas where nests may be established. This includes looking at locations such as eaves, soffits, wall voids, garages, sheds, trees, shrubs, and underground areas.
Identifying the wasp species and locating the active nest are important steps in determining an appropriate treatment strategy. The Pro also considers the accessibility of the nest and conditions around the property that may contribute to continued wasp activity.
Stage 2: Wasp Treatment
Once the wasp activity and nesting location have been assessed, Orkin Pros determine a treatment approach based on the species, nest location, accessibility, and site conditions. Treatment is applied directly to the appropriate area using Health Canada-approved pest control products and methods selected for the specific situation. Applications are carried out in accordance with product label directions and applicable requirements.
Stage 3: Wasp Nest Removal, Where Appropriate
Following treatment, the nest may be physically removed where appropriate. Whether physical nest removal is recommended depends on factors such as the nest’s size, condition, location, and accessibility. Our Orkin Pros assess these conditions and determine whether nest removal is appropriate for the property.
Stage 4: Follow-Up and Prevention
Following treatment, the property can be assessed for remaining wasp activity and conditions that may support future nesting. Depending on the property, recommendations may include addressing accessible food sources, potential shelter, nesting locations, entry points, or other conditions that may contribute to wasp activity. These measures can help reduce conditions that may attract wasps or support future nesting.
