- Locate the nest and confirm the species and entry point.
- Treat at dusk. We treat the full nest with an approved product while the colony is inside.
- 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 Lindsay homeowners
A single wasp can sting repeatedly, and when it feels threatened it releases a pheromone that signals the rest of the colony to attack together. For most people that means pain and swelling that resolves on its own. Why Spraying the Entrance Never Kills a Wasp Nest (And What Actually Works)
