How AstraHive Pest Control gets rid of wasps in Brooklin

1. Locate the nest and confirm the species and entry point.
2. Treat at dusk. We treat the full nest with an approved product while the colony is inside.
3. Remove the nest when it is safe. We do not seal the entry hole, because trapped wasps can chew into the house.

For safety we cannot service nests above the second floor.

Products are Health Canada approved and applied according to the product label, and our technicians are licensed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). Wasp and hornet nest work carries a 30-day warranty on the treated spot. A new nest in a different place is a new job.

More on wasps for Brooklin homeowners

• Many wasps scavenge in garbage cans. (Health Canada: wasps)
• A homeowner goes up to clear leaves before winter, sticks a gloved hand into the gutter, and disturbs a nest they didn't know was there. By fall, that colony has had all summer to grow, so a disturbance at this stage often means a defensive swarm response rather than a few curious wasps. (Wasps Nesting in Your Gutters? Here's How to Spot It Before It's a Problem)
• Homeowners who spray a nest with a hardware store can often end up with a worse problem, or a trip to urgent care. The reason is simple: a mud dauber nest and a bald-faced hornet nest look completely different up close, but from ten feet away on a soffit, people lump them all into "wasps" and treat them the same way.
