Sometimes, the wasp/hornet nest isn’t easily visible. It may be deep within your trees, under the roof eaves, behind shutters or in garden sheds, or hidden behind thick vegetation.
Here are some signs you might have a nest tucked in somewhere:
Sharing your property with wasps and hornets might seem harmless at first, but their nests can pose a number of risks:
The most immediate danger is getting stung. Wasps and hornets are territorial insects, especially around their nests. Even accidental disturbances can trigger them to attack, and their stings can be painful and cause swelling. For people with allergies, wasp or hornet stings can be life-threatening.
Nests often attract more wasps and hornets to your property, raising the chances of encountering them during outdoor activities. This can be especially concerning if you have children or pets who play outside.
While uncommon, wasp nests can cause minor structural damage over time, especially if located in eaves, soffits, or other areas exposed to moisture. The weight of the nest and the wasps’ chewing habits can contribute to wear and tear.
Having a wasp or hornet nest nearby can be disruptive and unpleasant. The constant buzzing activity can be unsettling, and the worry of stings can limit your enjoyment of the outdoor space.
The cost of professional wasp and hornet nest removal in Western Canada can vary depending on several factors, including the size or location of the nest, the species of the wasp/hornet, and the severity of the infestation.

Wasp and hornet stings can be painful, but for most people, it’s nothing a bit of ice and ointment won’t fix. The bigger concern is allergies. If you’re allergic to the sting, you can experience trouble breathing, hives, or swelling (especially of the face, tongue, or throat). In such instances, call 911 or get medical attention immediately.
Wasp and hornet activity is seasonal. They’re most likely to cause problems during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall.
Queens emerge from hibernation in spring and focus on building nests. Summer brings peak activity with the highest number of wasps and hornets present. As fall approaches and temperatures drop, activity starts to decline. By winter, nests become inactive, and most wasp and hornet activities die off.
While bees, wasps, and hornets might look similar from a distance, here are some key differences:
The ideal time is definitely late evening or at night, as wasps/hornets are less active during the night, reducing the risk of encountering them during removal. Also, a nighttime disturbance is less likely to trigger a defensive response from the entire colony compared to daytime removal.
There’s a chance wasps may return to a sprayed nest, but it depends on a few factors:
For guaranteed removal and to prevent wasps from returning, it’s best to call Buzz Boss. We ensure complete nest elimination and can advise on preventative measures to discourage future wasp activity.
