Wasp, Bee & Hornet Removal in Burnaby

Does pest control get rid of bees? Yes. Ridall’s wasp, bee and hornet service treats nests near homes and buildings in Burnaby. A certified technician first looks at what’s nesting and where, because the right method depends on the insect, the size of the nest and how easy it is to reach.

Wasps are a seasonal danger in Burnaby, especially in the warmer months. Nests near gardens, decks and doorways can lead to painful stings, and stings are a serious health risk for people with allergies.

Where wasps nest around Burnaby homes

Common species here include yellow jackets, paper wasps, bees and hornets. They will build nests almost anywhere, but these are the places we find them most:

  • Under eaves and rooflines
  • Above windows and doors
  • Under balconies and decks
  • Inside walls and ceilings
  • In trees, shrubs and other vegetation
  • In lawns and gardens, including in the ground
  • In sheds and outdoor furniture

Burnaby’s parks and forested corridors, including Burnaby Mountain and Deer Lake Park, give wasps plenty of places to build outdoors, so it’s worth checking your yard as well as your house.

How we treat nests

There’s no single method for every nest. Depending on the situation, our technicians use traps, baits or sprays:

Situation Method that may be used
Nest in an area where people walk or sit often Traps
Nest that’s hard to reach Baits
Large nest, or insects at risk of attacking people or pets Sprays

All treatments are done by certified applicators using federally registered products, applied according to the label.

How much does wasp or bee nest removal cost?

Pricing depends on the type of insect, where the nest is, how big it is and how hard it is to reach. A small nest under an eave is a different job from a large nest inside a wall. Call 778-716-6076 and we can give you a general sense of cost over the phone.
