Wasp and Hornet Exterminator in Montreal

Repeated flights into and out of the same opening are a stronger clue than one wasp near food or flowers. Watch from a safe distance for a steady route to a soffit, wall gap, ground hole or visible paper nest. A photo can help, but concealed activity may still require an on-site inspection.

Hornets are a type of wasp. Social wasps often have smoother bodies, narrow waists and paper nests, while bees are usually hairier and collect pollen. Appearance varies, so use several clues rather than colour alone. Montréal's bee-swarm program accepts photos to help distinguish eligible honey-bee swarms from wasp nests.

Keep people and pets away, use another entrance if the nest is beside a doorway and avoid vibration or sudden movement near the flight path. Take a photo only from a stable, protected position. Do not strike the nest, spray blindly into a cavity, climb toward it or cover an active entrance.

No—not while the entrance is active. Wasps using a wall, soffit or roof cavity may search for another exit if the outside route is blocked, potentially moving into the building. The activity should be assessed and addressed before anyone decides whether the opening should later be sealed or repaired.

That depends on its location and accessibility. An exposed paper nest, a ground cavity and a nest concealed behind a wall are not equivalent jobs. Alexandre assesses the situation and explains what the intervention includes. Physical removal, sealing or repair should not be assumed until the specific nest has been evaluated.

The precautions depend on the nest location and selected treatment. When a pest-control product is needed, Gestion Parasitaire D'Amour uses products registered by Health Canada and explains where people and animals must stay, which openings should be closed and when the treated area can be used again. Follow those case-specific instructions.

It means you can call in the evening or on a weekend and Alexandre will generally answer or return the call as soon as possible. The actual visit is scheduled according to the location, access and urgency of the situation. The page does not promise a same-day arrival for every wasp or hornet call.

Pricing is case by case because a visible nest within easy reach and concealed activity in a roofline, wall or ground cavity can require different work. Alexandre reviews the situation, inspects when needed and confirms the recommended scope and price before starting. The inspection and estimate are free.
