Wasp Removal in Richmond Hill
If you need wasp removal in Richmond Hill, AstraHive Pest Control offers licensed treatment backed by a 30-day warranty on the treated spot. Health Canada says timing and safety decide the job, and a nest in Richmond Hill is easier to treat early in the season.
How AstraHive Pest Control gets rid of wasps in Richmond Hill
- 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 Richmond Hill homeowners
- One detail that surprises most homeowners: the visible entrance hole is not always the nest. A wasp nest entrance can be located two to three feet away from the actual nest and queen inside a wall, ceiling, or the ground, which is why a proper inspection matters more than just spraying the hole you can see.

- Field tip: If you see wasps entering a gutter section but can't see an exposed nest, assume there's one built inside the channel or just behind the fascia board. Don't remove the gutter guard or reach in to check - that's exactly how stings happen. (Wasps Nesting in Your Gutters? Here's How to Spot It Before It's a Problem)
