Vancouver Wasp Control & Nest Removal
Professional Wasp & Hornet Control Services
When wasps establish nests on your Vancouver property, professional removal is essential for your family's safety. Our licensed technicians use specialized protective equipment and proven techniques to eliminate wasp colonies completely, preventing painful stings and aggressive behavior that threatens outdoor activities.
Unlike DIY methods that often result in incomplete removal and angry wasps, our comprehensive approach targets the entire colony including the queen. We provide proven results with follow-up service to ensure your property remains wasp-free throughout the active season.
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
