Stinging Insect Control in Alberta
Safe, Effective Stinging Insect Control
Alberta’s warm months are meant to be enjoyed outdoors, but wasps, hornets and yellow jackets can quickly make a backyard, deck or patio uncomfortable. This can be especially concerning for families with children or pets.
Our stinging insect control service begins with a thorough inspection to identify the insect, locate the nest and determine the most appropriate treatment. We use targeted control methods, naturally derived biocides and mechanical nest removal when conditions allow.
Why Choose Innovative Pest Solutions for Stinging Insects Control?
Comprehensive Inspection
We inspect the property to locate the source of the activity and identify the type and location of the nest.
Wasp Traps
When a nest cannot be safely or directly reached, wasp traps may be used as part of the control plan.
Knockdown Treatments
Targeted knockdown treatments using naturally derived biocides are used to control active stinging insects.
Mechanical Nest Removal
After the knockdown treatment, accessible nests can be mechanically removed to help complete the service.

02
Set Up Traps or Treat the Nest
We may install wasp traps or treat and remove the nest using Dragnet SFR for knockdown treatment.

After treatment and removal, we check the area for remaining activity and help ensure the immediate threat has been addressed.
Why We Don't Treat Honey Bees
We Don't Treat Honey Bees
Innovative Pest Solutions does not treat honey bees. Honey bees are important pollinators, and the team takes care to avoid areas where they may be gathering nectar.
If you have a honey bee colony on your property, the current page recommends contacting a local beekeeper who can safely remove and relocate the colony rather than exterminating it.
Common Stinging Insects
Wasps
Wasps are commonly found around homes, decks, porches and eaves. They can become defensive when a nest is disturbed.
Hornets
Hornets can build larger nests in protected locations such as trees, structures or building areas and may become defensive around the nest.
Yellow Jackets
Yellow jackets may nest in the ground, wall voids or other concealed spaces and can become particularly noticeable later in the warm season.
Common Nest Locations
Stinging insects can establish nests in a variety of areas around residential properties. Common places to watch include:
Soffits and eaves
Decks and patios
Sheds and outbuildings
Trees and shrubs
Ground nests
Our team combines inspection, targeted treatment and nest removal to help resolve wasp, hornet and yellow jacket problems. The goal is to protect your home and help you enjoy your yard, deck and other outdoor spaces with greater peace of mind.
Our Promise
Your Outdoor Space Should Feel Like Yours Again
We stand behind our work. If stinging insect activity continues after treatment, contact our team so we can review the situation and determine the appropriate next step under the applicable service guarantee.
Stinging Insect Control FAQs
What's the difference between wasps, hornets and yellow jackets?
They are related stinging insects but can differ in appearance, nesting behaviour and aggressiveness. A professional inspection can help identify the insect and the most appropriate treatment.
How do I know where the nest is?
Repeated flight activity around one location can indicate a nearby nest. Nests may be visible or concealed in soffits, vents, wall voids, trees, shrubs or the ground.
What if the nest cannot be reached?
The current service may use wasp traps when a nest is inaccessible. The treatment plan depends on the location and level of activity.
What happens during treatment?
The team first identifies the insect and nest location, then uses the appropriate treatment method. Accessible nests may be mechanically removed after knockdown treatment.
Are your treatments safe for families and pets?
The current page states that family and pet-friendly products and naturally derived biocides are used. Customers should follow any service-specific safety instructions provided by the technician.
What should I do if I find a nest?
Avoid disturbing the nest and keep children and pets away from the area. Contact a professional if the nest is active, difficult to reach or located near frequently used areas.
Can stinging insects return after a nest is removed?
Removing the active nest addresses the immediate problem, but other insects may build nests elsewhere on the property in the future. Monitoring common nesting areas can help identify new activity early.
