🐜 When Is It Time to Call a Pest Control Professional?

Not every pest sighting needs professional treatment.

Seeing one ant, spider, or fly doesn’t always mean there’s an infestation. But some signs are worth taking seriously:

• You keep seeing the same pest repeatedly
• You’re finding pests in multiple areas of the home
• You notice droppings, nests, damage, or other signs of activity
• DIY treatments only provide temporary results
• You’ve found a large nest or an active infestation
• You’re unsure what pest you’re dealing with

Sometimes the biggest clue is simple:

The problem keeps coming back.

Getting the pest properly identified can help determine whether professional treatment is actually needed.

⚠️ DON’T DISTURB A WASP NEST

That small nest under your deck, roof edge, shed, or eaves may look harmless.

But getting too close, poking it, spraying it, or trying to knock it down can provoke defensive wasps.

If you find a nest:

• Keep your distance
• Keep children and pets away
• Avoid disturbing the nest
• Have the nest assessed by a pest professional

A professional can identify the nest location and choose an appropriate removal approach.

🐝 5 Signs You May Have a Hidden Wasp Nest

One wasp is annoying. Several wasps coming from the same area are a warning sign.

A nest may be hidden under your deck, roof edge, siding, shed, or another hard-to-see spot.

Look for these 5 signs:

Wasps repeatedly flying to one spot
Heavy wasp activity around your roof or eaves
Wasps entering a crack or small opening
A steady increase in wasp activity around your yard
A visible nest tucked under an overhang or structure

⚠️ If you find a nest, avoid disturbing it. Spraying, poking, or knocking it down can provoke defensive wasps.

Seeing several wasps coming and going from the same location?

Major Pest Control can help locate the nest and handle the problem safely.

Have you spotted any of these signs around your home?

🚨 Seeing More Wasps Around Your Alberta Home?

If wasps seem to be showing up everywhere lately, there could be a nest nearby.

Check areas like:

• Under deck railings
• Eaves and roof edges
• Sheds and garages
• Wall voids and cracks
• Around trees, fences, and outdoor structures

The tricky part? A nest can be hidden from view while wasps continue flying in and out of the same area.

⚠️ Avoid poking, spraying, or disturbing a nest yourself. Agitated wasps can become defensive quickly.

🐝 Don't let wasps turn your backyard into their territory this summer!

That "harmless" nest under your eaves? It can grow to hundreds of wasps FAST — and once it's established, it's a lot harder (and riskier) to deal with.

Here are a few simple habits that make a big difference:

✅ Keep food & drinks covered when eating outside
✅ Seal garbage cans tightly + rinse recyclables
✅ Clean up fallen fruit and spills right away
✅ Seal cracks around windows, doors & siding
✅ Fix torn screens — wasps can squeeze through gaps as small as 6mm!
✅ Trim branches and shrubs away from your house
✅ Check eaves, sheds & attics each spring for early nest activity

👀 Spotted a nest already? Don't risk removing it yourself — some wasp species get aggressive fast when disturbed. Call the pros at Major Pest Control, and we'll take care of it safely.

🚨 Seeing more wasps around your Alberta home? Don’t ignore them! 🐝

Wondering what’s bringing them to your yard?

Wasps are often attracted by:

🍬 Sweet foods & drinks – Open pop cans, fruit, and sugary spills can draw them in.
🍖 Food scraps & garbage – Uncovered bins can become an easy food source.
🌸 Flowers & gardens – Nectar and other food sources can attract foraging wasps.
💧 Water sources – Birdbaths, standing water, and other moisture can bring wasps nearby.
🏠 Sheltered areas – Eaves, soffits, sheds, decks, and wall voids can provide good spots for nests.

⚠️ The bigger concern? If you keep seeing wasps in one specific area, there may be a nest nearby.

👉 Don’t risk disturbing a hidden nest. If wasps are becoming a problem around your Alberta home, contact Major Pest Control for safe wasp control.

🐝 How to Identify Wasps In Alberta? 🐝

Alberta is home to several nuisance wasp species that homeowners commonly deal with each summer. Most wasps measure 13 to 40 mm long and have three body segments:

✅ Head
✅ Thorax
✅ Abdomen

Along with two pairs of thin, transparent wings. Unlike bees, wasps are generally smooth and hairless, which is one of the easiest ways to tell the two apart at a glance.

🚨 STOP! Before You Swat That Wasp... 🐝

That single wasp buzzing around your yard could mean there's a hidden nest nearby.

⚠️ Many homeowners don't realize that disturbing a wasp nest can trigger an aggressive swarm. One wrong move while mowing the lawn, trimming hedges, or cleaning your deck could lead to multiple painful stings.

🔍 Signs you may have a wasp nest:
✅ Wasps flying to the same spot repeatedly
✅ Increased wasp activity around your home
✅ Buzzing sounds inside walls, attics, or sheds
✅ Small paper-like nests under eaves, decks, or roof edges

❌ Don't spray or knock down a nest yourself. It can make the situation much worse.

✅ Our trained technicians remove wasp nests safely and help protect your family and pets.
