Vancouver Wasp Control and Removal Specialists
Understanding the Challenge of Wasp or Hornet Infestations

Wasp Control Vancouver is an essential service in a city known for its vibrant mix of modern architecture, lush urban parks, and coastal rainforest charm. While these features make Vancouver one of Canada’s most livable cities, they also create the perfect habitat for wasps. From the garden courtyards of Mount Pleasant to the family-friendly backyards of Dunbar, these aggressive pests can quickly turn outdoor spaces into danger zones during the warmer months. Unlike rats, which stay hidden, wasps are bold and territorial—often building nests near patios, under eaves, or even inside walls.
Whether you’re managing a business near Granville Island or entertaining guests at your West Side home, an active wasp nest poses a serious threat—not only due to the risk of stings, but also because nests can expand rapidly and compromise structural integrity.
At 1st Pest Control, we specialize in safe, effective wasp control tailored specifically for Vancouver’s unique urban ecosystems. Our technicians are experienced in identifying nests in high-traffic areas like Kitsilano, near Queen Elizabeth Park, and even around rooftop patios in Yaletown. Using eco-conscious removal techniques, we ensure wasps are eliminated without harming the surrounding environment.
Our Proven Wasp Control Process
Inspection & Assessment
During your initial visit, our technician will inspect your property to locate active nests and identify high-risk areas—such as eaves, rooflines, sheds, or trees—where wasps are most likely to build their nests. We assess the level of activity and determine the safest approach for removal.
Customized Treatment Plan
Based on the assessment, we’ll present you with the action plan for removal and disposal that focuses on safe and effective elimination. We consider the location of the nest, how height is from the ground level, type of wasps or hornets, and the surrounding environment to ensure the job is handled professionally and with minimal disruption.
Immediate Treatment
Once approved, we can typically proceed with nest removal and treatment on during the initial visit. Our methods are designed to neutralize the threat quickly and prevent wasps from returning—giving you peace of mind and a safer outdoor space.
When DIY Wasp Methods Fall Short

DIY wasp control—such as store-bought sprays or attempting to knock down a nest yourself—may offer temporary relief, but these approaches can be risky and often fail to eliminate the source. Wasps are extremely territorial and can become very aggressive when their nest is disturbed. Without proper removal and prevention, they may rebuild in the same or nearby areas.
If wasps keep returning or you’ve spotted a nest near your home or business, contact 1st Pest Control. Our trained technicians can safely remove nests, treat affected areas, and implement preventative strategies to help keep wasps or hornets from coming back—protecting your family, pets, and visitors from painful stings and future infestations.
