Types of Wasps We Remove in Markham
Yellow Jackets
Vespula species
The most aggressive wasps in Ontario. Black and yellow, they nest in the ground, wall voids, soffits and sheds and defend the nest in large numbers. Their colonies peak in late summer.
Paper Wasps
Polistes fuscatus
Slender wasps that build open, umbrella-shaped paper nests under eaves, decks, railings and BBQ covers. Less aggressive than yellow jackets but will sting near the nest.
European Paper Wasps
Polistes dominula
A common invasive paper wasp in the GTA, often mistaken for a yellow jacket. Nests in railings, outdoor furniture, light fixtures and play structures.
We also remove bald-faced hornet nests, the large grey football-shaped nests found in trees, shrubs and under eaves. Honey bees are not exterminated: we refer them to a local beekeeper for safe relocation.
Signs You Need Wasp Nest Removal in Markham
- Wasps flying in and out of the same spot on the house
- A paper nest under eaves, decks or railings
- Wasps coming from a hole in the lawn or garden
- Chewing or buzzing sounds inside a wall or ceiling
- Wasps appearing indoors near windows or light fixtures
- A wet or stained spot on drywall or ceiling
- More wasps around the yard, patio and garbage bins in August
- Wasps around a soffit vent, siding gap or roofline
Spraying a nest yourself or knocking it down usually provokes the colony, and yellow jackets can sting many times. Nests inside walls are especially risky: blocking the hole can push wasps into the house. A professional treats the nest at the source so the whole colony dies.
Wasp Activity in Markham
Markham's mature trees in Unionville, Thornhill and around Toogood Pond and Milne Dam Conservation Park host large bald-faced hornet and paper wasp nests every summer. Townhomes in Cornell and Berczy have shared rooflines and soffits where yellow jackets nest between units. Restaurant patios on Main Street Unionville and along Highway 7 need fast removal once wasps start bothering customers.
Our Wasp Nest Removal Process
Inspection and nest location
We find the nest and the entrance, including hidden nests in wall voids, soffits and underground.
Protective-gear treatment
Our technician, in full protective gear, applies a professional dust or foam directly into the nest to eliminate the colony.
Nest removal
Exposed nests are removed after treatment. Wall and ground nests are treated so the colony dies inside.
Entry-point advice
We point out the gaps used by the colony and how to seal them once activity has stopped.
Guarantee
If activity continues at the same nest after treatment, we come back at no charge.

How Much Does Wasp Nest Removal Cost in Markham?
Most wasp nest removals are a single visit. The price depends on the type of nest, how high or hidden it is (for example inside a wall or at roof height) and how many nests are on the property. You get a fixed quote on the phone or after a quick inspection, before any work starts. Our Complete and Premium home protection plans include wasp nest removal at no extra cost.
How to Keep Wasps Out After Treatment
- Check eaves, decks, sheds and play structures for small nests in May and June
- Keep garbage and recycling bins closed and clean
- Cover sugary drinks and food outdoors in late summer
- Seal gaps in siding, soffits and around vents after the season
- Fill holes in the lawn where ground nests start
- Do not plug a nest entrance yourself, it can push wasps indoors
Wasp Nest Removal FAQ
Straight answers from our licensed technicians. Still have a question? Call (647) 471-1332, we are open 24 hours.
When is wasp season in Markham?
Queens start nests in May, colonies grow through July and peak in August and September, when wasps are most aggressive. Small nests caught in early summer are the easiest and cheapest to remove.
Can I remove a wasp nest myself?
We do not recommend it. Yellow jackets defend the nest in large numbers and sting repeatedly. Nests inside walls are even riskier because blocking the entrance can drive wasps into the house.
How long after treatment will the wasps be gone?
Most activity stops within a few hours to 24 hours. Some returning foragers may fly around the area for a day; that is normal.
Do you remove bee nests?
We treat wasps and hornets. Honey bees are important pollinators, so we refer them to a local beekeeper for relocation whenever possible.
Is wasp treatment safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. Products are applied directly into the nest by a licensed technician and we tell you how long to keep kids and pets away from the area.
Do you remove nests in the evening?
Yes. We are open 24 hours, and evening treatments are often more effective because the whole colony is inside the nest.
Do you remove wasps from restaurant patios in Markham?
Yes. We treat nests around patios and outdoor seating quickly, before or after business hours.
Can you remove a hornet nest from a tree?
Yes. We treat and remove bald-faced hornet nests in trees and shrubs using extension equipment.
