North Vancouver Wasp & Hornet Nest Removal Specialists
Understanding the Challenge of Wasp and Hornet Infestations

With its lush backyards, wooded trails, and scenic patios stretching from Upper Delbrook to Deep Cove, Wasp Control North Vancouver becomes essential during the summer months. While the area is ideal for enjoying the outdoors, wasps and hornets often have other plans. Nests can form under eaves, inside hedges, or even underground in lawns—posing serious risks to families, particularly those with children or pets. Swarms are especially common around outdoor meals, notably in neighborhoods near waterfront parks like Cates Park or the patio dining spots of Lower Lonsdale.
At 1st Pest Control, we specialize in the safe, fast removal of wasp and hornet nests throughout North Vancouver. Our licensed technicians know how to identify nests early, access hard-to-reach spots, and remove threats before they escalate—always using safety-first methods that minimize risk and environmental impact.
If wasps or hornets are taking over your outdoor space, let our team help you reclaim your backyard and enjoy North Van’s natural beauty without the sting.
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 Start of Nest Removal
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, homemade traps, or attempting to knock down a nest—may offer temporary relief, but these approaches can be risky and often fail to eliminate the source. Wasps are territorial and can become 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, it’s time to contact 1st Pest Control. Trained technicians can safely remove nests, treat affected areas, and implement preventative strategies to help keep wasps from coming back—protecting your family, pets, and visitors from painful stings and future infestations.
