Vancouver Wasp Control & Nest Removal

Common Wasp Species in Vancouver

Vancouver's climate supports several aggressive wasp species that pose safety risks to residents. Our experts identify and eliminate:

  • Yellow Jackets (Vespula spp.) - Aggressive ground-nesters with bright yellow and black stripes, often found in wall voids and abandoned burrows
  • European Paper Wasps (Polistes dominula) - Invasive species building umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, decks, and outdoor structures
  • Bald-Faced Hornets (Dolichovespula maculata) - Large aerial nesters creating football-sized gray nests in trees and shrubs
  • Common Aerial Yellowjackets - Visible nest builders hanging nests from branches and building projections
  • Western Yellowjackets - Native ground-nesters with complete yellow eye rings, highly territorial around nest sites
  • German Yellowjackets - Prolific breeders identified by abdominal black spots, creating large underground colonies

Wasp Species We Handle

Each wasp species requires specialized removal techniques based on nesting behavior, colony size, and aggression levels. Our experts identify species accurately to ensure complete elimination using the most effective methods for your specific infestation.

  • Yellow Jackets

    Most aggressive Vancouver wasp species. Ground-nesters with bright yellow stripes, becoming extremely territorial near nest sites with colonies reaching thousands.

  • European Paper Wasps

    Invasive species building distinctive umbrella-shaped nests under structures. Less aggressive than yellow jackets but will defend nests vigorously when disturbed.

Asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Vancouver commonly has three main wasp species: Yellow jackets (aggressive ground-nesters), European paper wasps (build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves), and Bald-faced hornets (create large aerial nests in trees). Each species requires different removal approaches based on nesting behavior and aggression levels.
