Richmond Wasp & Hornet Nest Removal Specialists
Understanding the Challenge of Wasp Infestations
Discovering a wasp nest in your yard, particularly during the active summer months, poses a significant and often underestimated danger. As temperatures rise and outdoor activities increase, so does the risk of encountering these aggressive pests.
Wasps are fiercely protective of their nests and can deliver painful stings, which can be especially hazardous for children, pets, and anyone with allergies, potentially leading to severe reactions or even anaphylaxis. Their presence can turn enjoyable backyard gatherings into stressful situations, making professional removal essential for the safety and peace of mind of everyone on your property.
With its warm summers, waterfront patios, and lush gardens from Terra Nova to Steveston, Richmond is a perfect place to enjoy the outdoors—until wasps or hornets show up uninvited. These aggressive insects often build nests under eaves, inside hedges, or even beneath deck boards, making backyards, playgrounds, and outdoor dining areas unsafe. Their presence is especially common near food-heavy spots like the Richmond Night Market or backyard barbecues during peak season.
At 1st Pest Control, we provide fast, safe, and professional wasp and hornet control throughout Richmond. Whether it’s a hidden nest in a hedgerow in Broadmoor or an overhead hive in a townhome complex near Lansdowne, our technicians are trained to remove nests quickly and minimize the risk of stings. We also implement prevention strategies to help stop them from returning.
Ready to enjoy your yard without worry? Let our team help you reclaim your space from stinging intruders—safely and efficiently.
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. We assess the level of activity and determine the safest approach for removal
Customized Treatment Plan
Based on the assessment, we’ll present a tailored removal strategy that focuses on safe and effective elimination. We consider the location of the nest, type of wasp, and 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 the same day. 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.
