Different hornet species require specific treatment methods. We remove the most common hornets found around residential and commercial properties.
These wasps create large nests in hollow trees or attics and are active both day and night. Our professional wasp control team handles them with pressurised sprays and protective gear to ensure complete safety. Most active at night and attracted to lights around windows and patios.
These aggressive wasps often build nests underground or inside wall cavities. They're territorial and quick to sting if disturbed. Our treatments target the entire colony, including hidden queens, to prevent re-infestation. Can sting multiple times and aggressively defend nests, especially in late summer.
Wasps sometimes nest inside ground holes, vents, or wall voids. We use specialised removal methods that penetrate deep into nesting sites without damaging property or contaminating indoor air. Often hidden inside wall voids or underground, making DIY removal extremely risky.
Known for their large, papery nests, bald-faced hornets defend their colonies fiercely. We safely remove hornet nests from trees, sheds, and structures using specialised aerosol and insecticide treatments. Build large aerial nests that can house hundreds of hornets by peak season.
Paper wasps typically build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves or decks. We use targeted insecticide sprays and remove the nest carefully to avoid dispersing active wasps. Commonly nest under eaves and decks, expanding colonies rapidly during warm months.
Hornets and wasps are often confused, but they differ in size, nesting habits, and aggression levels. Correct identification is important because each species requires a specific removal strategy to ensure complete elimination and prevent re-infestation.
| FEATURES | Hornets | Wasps |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Yes | Smaller (1–2 cm) |
| Nest Type | Yes | Small open combs or ground nests |
| Color Pattern | Yes | Yellow & black striped |
| Aggression Level | Yes | Moderate, defensive when disturbed |
Our process focuses on safety, precision, and long-term prevention. Each step targets both visible hornet activity and hidden nest locations where colonies may continue developing.
We start by identifying the type of wasps or hornets on your property, such as yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, or paper wasps. Each species builds nests in different locations: under eaves, inside walls, or in ground holes. Our technicians locate active nests, entry points, and potential food sources to design the safest removal strategy.
After inspection, we create a tailored plan based on nest location, size, and species. We use a combination of insecticide sprays, aerosol treatments, and bait stations designed for stinging insect colonies. For outdoor nests, we may use pressurised wasp and hornet killer sprays that provide instant knockdown while maintaining safety for people and pets.
Our licensed wasp exterminators wear full bee suits and use specialised safety equipment during removal. Whether the nest is above a doorway, inside a wall void, or underground, we ensure complete elimination of the colony while minimising risk. Eco-friendly products and strict safety precautions protect your property and the surrounding environment.
After removal, we perform exclusion work to stop future infestations. Our experts seal cracks, caulk gaps, and remove leftover nest materials. We may also install faux wasp nests to discourage new colonies from settling. Follow-up inspections ensure long-term protection throughout the seasonal activity period.
Provide free re-treatment within 100 days if wasps reappear
This structured process helps us maintain consistent quality and compliance with Canadian pest control regulations.
Hornet activity tends to increase during late spring and summer when colonies expand rapidly. Many older wood-framed homes provide ideal nesting points under eaves, soffits, and roof overhangs where colonies can remain hidden and protected. Detached houses with open attic vents, backyard sheds, and deck structures also create sheltered spaces that hornets naturally seek out.
Seasonal humidity across the GTA further supports nest development, allowing colonies to grow quickly if left undisturbed. Without early intervention, a small nest can develop into a large, defensive colony within weeks.
Hornets can make outdoor areas unsafe for families, especially when nests are built near roofs, trees, decks, or entry points. Our residential hornet nest removal service includes detailed inspections, targeted treatments, and preventive measures to reduce the risk of new nests.
We also guide homeowners on simple prevention steps, such as sealing entry points and reducing conditions that attract hornets, helping lower future activity around the property.
In commercial environments such as restaurants, warehouses, and retail facilities, hornets can create serious safety risks for staff and customers. Our commercial hornet control service provides fast, discreet, and compliant treatment.
We offer scheduled inspection and treatment plans that include nest removal and preventive measures to keep your property protected from hornet activity throughout the season.
All our hornet nest removal services include a 100-day warranty. If hornets return within this period, we will re-treat your property at no additional cost. This reflects our commitment to reliable service and long-term protection.
An active hornet nest can become dangerous quickly — especially if it's near entrances, decks, or areas where children and pets spend time. Attempting to remove it yourself increases the risk of multiple stings and aggressive swarming. Pesticon offers same-day hornet nest removal with fully licensed and insured technicians equipped to handle elevated, hidden, and high-risk nests safely.
