Calgary wasp control and nest removal — often same day
Fast, safe wasp, hornet and yellow jacket nest removal across Calgary and area. Licensed technicians, 24/7 emergency response, and methods that protect bees and other pollinators.
Professional wasp nest removal in Calgary
Wasps build nests in hard-to-reach spots — wall cavities, roof voids, under eaves, in trees and in old rodent burrows. Left alone the nest keeps growing, and disturbing it risks painful stings and allergic reactions. DIY removal is the most common way Calgary homeowners get hurt.
The Pest Control Guy removes nests safely and quickly, then helps you keep the yard clear for the rest of the season.
Stinging insects we remove across Calgary
Calgary is home to several stinging species, and each needs a targeted approach for safe removal.
Yellow jackets
Aggressive ground- and cavity-nesters that swarm when disturbed — the most common late-summer problem in Calgary yards.
Paper wasps
Open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, railings and deck furniture. Less aggressive, but still a stinging risk near doors.
Hornets
Large wasps with big enclosed nests in trees and shrubs. Powerful stings and strong nest defence.
Wasp nests
Nests in wall voids, attics, soffits and underground burrows — removed at the source, not just knocked down.
Bees
Where it's safe and practical, honey bee colonies are relocated rather than destroyed.
Other stinging insects
Bald-faced hornets and other stinging insects nesting on Calgary homes and businesses.
Our wasp & bee removal procedure
We take an active, professional approach to removing wasps, yellow jackets, hornets and bees while protecting pollinators and your property.
We protect pollinators
Bees are essential pollinators, so a honey bee colony on your property is treated differently from a wasp nest. Wherever it's safe and practical, we relocate bees rather than destroy them, and our wasp treatments are chosen to minimise any impact on nearby pollinators.

Calgary wasp control FAQs
How much does wasp control cost in Calgary?
It depends on the nest's size and location. We inspect first and give you transparent pricing before any work starts.
Is professional wasp nest removal safe?
Yes. Our technicians use protective equipment and professional tools to remove nests without putting your household at risk.
Can I remove a wasp nest myself?
We don't recommend it. DIY removal is the most common cause of serious stings, and knocking a nest down rarely clears the colony. Professional treatment is safer and more effective.
What types of wasps are common in Calgary?
Yellow jackets, paper wasps and hornets are the most common, and each needs a targeted removal approach.
What attracts wasps to my yard?
Open garbage, sugary food and drinks, fallen fruit, and other insects they hunt. Sheltered nesting spots — shrubs, wall gaps and old burrows — keep them coming back.
How can I prevent wasps?
Keep garbage sealed, cover food and drinks outdoors, clear fallen fruit, and seal gaps around the house. A pest control subscription adds routine check-ins that catch nests early.
What's the difference between wasps and bees?
Wasps don't make honey, they hunt other insects, and they can sting repeatedly and are more aggressive when the nest is threatened. Bees are pollinators we protect and relocate where possible.
