In Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, and the rest of the Okanagan, flying pests have become a huge nuisance, as well as a health risk. At BugMaster, our technicians are trained to deal with all types of flying insects, as well as mitigate the risks of these insects to you and your family. Various flies, box elder beetles (maple bugs) and wasps seem to cause the most headaches for homeowners in the Valley. If you have another flying insect problem, please check the list below or give us a call and we would be happy to help you out with whatever you are experiencing.

Want to enjoy a summer BBQ without wasps nesting next to your plates? BugMaster has got you covered! Our Brand-New Platinum Pest Protection offers customized tiers of service tailored to your needs. Our most hands-on, premium level of BugMaster service is ready to conquer the coming invasion. We are expecting huge insect numbers in the Okanagan this season: partially due to weather patterns and partially due to new, invasive species settling in our region.

Wasps are one of the most high-demand summer pest calls across the Okanagan — and for good reason. Yellow jackets build large underground and wall-void nests that can contain thousands of workers by late summer, turning aggressive when disturbed. Bald-faced hornets construct paper nests in trees, eaves, and shrubs that grow to the size of a football by August. Paper wasps are the most common species found under deck railings, window frames, and roof overhangs throughout Kelowna. All three species can sting repeatedly and pose a serious risk to anyone with a venom allergy. BugMaster’s technicians are trained to safely locate and treat all wasp and hornet nest types — including underground yellow jacket colonies that homeowners rarely find on their own. Honey bees are handled as carefully as possible given their importance to the Okanagan’s agricultural ecosystem.
