Wasps are an annoying and potentially dangerous pest that many homeowners and commercial building occupants have to deal with. Wasps are common during the spring, summer and fall. If you find a wasp nest in or around your property, it’s safer and more effective to call in professionals like Truly Nolen Canada, for wasp pest control in Toronto and removal of the nest.
Different Types of Wasps Found in the Toronto Area
There are thousands of wasp species in North America. In Toronto, the most prolific wasps that occupy homes and commercial buildings are paper wasps, mud daubers, yellow jackets and hornets. Paper wasps are long and thin with black and yellowish-red markings on their bodies. Mud daubers are darker with some yellow and larger than paper wasps. Yellow jackets are bright yellow and black wasps. Hornets are the largest wasps and can be colourful or mostly black.Why Truly Nolen Is Your Best Bet for Wasp Removal
If you notice wasp activity around your home, see wasps inside, or spot a wasp’s nest, attempting the removal yourself is dangerous. Unlike bees, wasps are capable of stinging multiple times. A wasp or hornet sting can also be more painful and severe than a bee sting. If you try to remove wasps without professional training, you risk your safety and your health, especially if you or someone in your home is allergic.Our Approach to Wasp Infestations

After removing a nest, it’s important for homeowners and commercial building occupants to stay on top of preventative tasks to keep wasps from returning each year. There are lots of things you can do to make your property less enticing for nesting wasps. One spot that may attract stinging insects is your garbage. If you keep your trash outside, it needs to be covered and secure so wasps aren’t attracted to the smell. Your compost pile should also be covered and secure. Plant things like mint, basil or wormwood to keep wasps away.Effective Wasp Pest Control in Toronto
