KNOW YOUR WASP

Wasp, Hornet & Yellow Jacket Control Across BC

We identify your wasp first, because each one nests treat differently.

Yellow jackets

Hidden nests in the ground or walls and get aggressive near food.

German yellow jackets

Nests in walls and attics that can last through a mild winter.

Bald-faced hornets

Grey hanging nests in trees and eaves, up to basketball size.

Paper wasps

Open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, decks and railings.

WASP OR BEE?

How to Identify a Wasp

Wasps are smooth and shiny with a thin waist. Bees are fuzzy and rounder.

Colour

Yellow and black, or black and white on hornets.

Length

Most are 12–20 mm long, and queens are larger.

Waist

A narrow pinch between the chest and abdomen.

Body

Smooth and almost hairless, unlike fuzzy bees.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Signs You Have a Wasp Nest

Steady flight path

Wasps flying in and out of one gap mean a nest sits behind it.

Grey paper nest

A papery ball or comb under eaves shows an active colony.

Hole in the lawn

Wasps entering the ground point to a hidden yellow jacket nest.

Buzzing in a wall

Steady buzzing behind drywall or ceilings means a nest inside.

Wasps indoors

Wasps near windows or lights often come from an attic or wall nest.

Scraped wood

Pale lines on fences show wasps chewing wood to build nests.

WHY EARLY ACTION MATTERS

Why Wasp Nests Need Quick Action

A spring nest with one queen can hold thousands of wasps by late summer.

Nests grow fast

Colonies are largest and most defensive in late summer and early fall.

Stings come in groups

Wasps defend their nest together and can sting more than once.

Allergy risk

For some people, a single sting can cause a serious reaction.

Tip: never plug a nest entrance in a wall. Trapped wasps can chew into your home.

LOCAL WASP ADVICE

Wasp Prevention Tips for Lower Mainland Homes

Wasps peak in late summer and early fall, when colonies are biggest and hungriest.

Which wasp is it?

Insect	Look	Nest	Where
Yellow jacket	Stocky, black and yellow	Hidden paper nest	Ground, walls, attics
Bald-faced hornet	Black and white	Grey covered ball	Trees, eaves
Paper wasp	Slim, long legs	Open comb	Eaves, decks, railings
Honey bee	Fuzzy, golden-brown	Wax comb	Hollow trees, hives

Honey bees are valuable pollinators, so we confirm what you have before treating.

7 ways to keep wasps away

Seal gaps in siding, soffits and vents in early spring.
Check sheds, decks and eaves for small nests in May and June.
Keep food and drinks covered outdoors in late summer.
Close garbage and compost bins tightly.
Pick up fallen fruit under trees.
Watch for wasps flying into the lawn before you mow.
Never block a nest entrance in a wall.

DIY OR PROFESSIONAL?

When to Call a Professional

A small nest far from doors and paths can often be left until it dies off in fall. Call us if you notice:

Hidden nests are often bigger than they look. We treat them in full protective gear, away from your family.

How Much Does Wasp Control Cost in BC?

Late-summer nests are larger than small spring nests.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional service by a local Canadian owned company. We called Exopest at 9pm on a Friday night and Manager Kashif Naseer picked up the phone! He was at our home in less than 24 hours. A significant mouse problem was irradiated 24 hours later. Kashif is a true professional: polite, proficient, he educated us, and he solved the problem for us. Could not be happier to recommend this company. Thank you Exopest!

Minor activity still but he said it should be dormant by tomorrow.  Super responsive and really nice guy.  I checked prices and he's extremely reasonably priced.  Easily 5 stars.  Would recommend and call again anytime for services if needed!  Thanks Kashif and Exopest!

HELPFUL ANSWERS

Wasp Control FAQs

Answers to the questions BC homeowners and businesses ask most before booking wasp control.

Should I remove a wasp nest myself?

It’s risky. Disturbing a nest makes the whole colony defend it, and hidden nests are often bigger than they look. A licensed technician treats it in protective gear.

Can I just block the hole the wasps use?

No. Wasps trapped in a wall or ceiling can chew through to the inside of your home. Leave the entrance open and call us.

Will the wasps come back next year?

Old nests aren’t reused, but new queens may build nearby next spring. Sealing gaps in early spring lowers the chance.

When is wasp season in BC?

Queens start nests in spring. Colonies peak in late summer and early fall, then the workers die off with the cold weather.

Are there hornets in BC?

The “hornets” most people see are bald-faced hornets, a black-and-white yellow jacket that builds grey hanging nests. They defend their nest strongly.

What should I do if I'm stung?

Wash the sting and use a cold pack. Call 911 if someone has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or feels faint.

Is wasp treatment safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Products go into the nest or its entrance only, and we tell you how long to keep children and pets away.

How much does wasp control cost?

It depends on where the nest is, how high it sits, its size and how many nests you have. Call 604-760-1542 for a free quote.
