How AstraHive Pest Control gets rid of wasps in Uxbridge
- 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 Uxbridge homeowners
- A large September nest can react within seconds to vibration on the siding, while a June nest of the same species may barely respond until someone is working directly on it. The math is simple: more wasps per nest, shorter fuse, higher sting count if something goes wrong. (Peak Wasp Season in Ontario: Why August to September Nest Removal Is Riskier (and How to Tell Your Wasps Apart))
- 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)
- The ideal time to remove a nest is November or December, after it has been abandoned. (Health Canada: wasps)
