Guelph is a green city. The Speed and Eramosa rivers, the Arboretum, Riverside Park and the trail system run through almost every neighbourhood, and that means a lot of wasps and hornets. Yellowjackets nest in soffits, wall voids, sheds and the ground. Bald-faced hornets hang large grey paper nests in trees and hedges, often right over a path or a back deck.
We treat and remove wasp and hornet nests from homes, garages, decks and yards across Guelph. Nest removal starts at about $200 before HST, structural nests inside walls or soffits start at about $250, and each additional nest is about $50 to $75 more. If you have honeybees or other small bees, call a local beekeeper first, since they can often collect a swarm alive. See wasp and bee nest removal and hornet nest removal.
Mice and rats. Older brick and limestone homes in the Ward, Exhibition Park and Old University have foundations with plenty of gaps, and mice move in each fall. Newer homes in the south end get them through garages and utility lines. Rats show up near the rivers, compost and restaurant bins. We set tamper-resistant bait stations and traps and seal the entry points we find at ground level. See rodent control.
Ants and carpenter ants. Pavement ants come up through basement floors and patio stones in spring. Carpenter ants nest in damp wood in mature neighbourhoods with big trees. See ant control.
Bed bugs. Guelph’s student rentals and apartment buildings turn over every semester, and bed bugs move with the furniture and luggage. Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health advises acting early and checking second-hand furniture before it comes inside. We treat with Aprehend and give you a prep sheet. See bed bug extermination.
Cockroaches. German cockroaches are mostly a problem in apartment buildings, shared housing and restaurant kitchens. See cockroach extermination.
Spiders and fleas. Spiders build up near the rivers and in basements in late summer. Fleas come home on pets. See spider control and flea extermination.
Landlords and property managers near the University of Guelph see the same cycle every year: new tenants in September, bed bugs or cockroaches by November. We help by confirming the pest with an inspection, treating the affected unit, checking neighbouring units and giving tenants a clear prep list. For buildings with several units, an inspection is required for an exact quote.
Prices are the same in Guelph as across our service area. Typical ranges before HST:

Wasp and hornet nest removal starts at about $200 before HST. Structural nests inside walls, soffits or siding start at about $250, and each additional nest at the same visit is about $50 to $75 more. Honeybees are different: call a local beekeeper first, because they can often collect the bees alive.
Queens start new nests in May, and colonies grow through June and July. Nests are biggest, and wasps are most aggressive, from mid-August through September, when food runs short. Small nests found in late spring or early summer are easier to deal with, so it’s worth checking eaves and sheds early.
Yes. We treat bed bugs in student houses and apartments for landlords, property managers and tenants. We confirm the infestation, treat with Aprehend, a Health Canada-registered biopesticide, and give everyone in the unit a prep sheet. Neighbouring units should be inspected too, since that’s where repeat problems often start.
Typical ranges before HST are from about $200 for a wasp nest, about $300 to $430 for ants, about $280 to $550 for mice, about $500 for fleas, from about $800 for cockroaches and about $1,000 to $1,400 or more for bed bugs. Your technician confirms the price before work starts.
Yes, when the instructions are followed. We use Health Canada-registered products and apply them where pests live, in cracks, voids, locked bait stations and around the outside of the house. Your technician tells you how to prepare, which rooms to avoid and for how long, and what to do with pets and fish tanks.
