Sherwood Park pest control from a nearby Edmonton team
Alberta Pest Services provides pest control in Sherwood Park and across Strathcona County. We're a local exterminator for Sherwood Park houses, townhomes, acreages and businesses: we inspect, treat the pest you have, and seal the entry points so it doesn't come back.
Sherwood Park sits just east of Edmonton in Strathcona County, and it's one of the closest communities to our Mill Woods office. That makes it easy for us to get a technician out for a wasp nest by the back door or mice in the garage. You'll talk to the same local team doing the work, not a national call centre.
The community is a mix. There are established, tree-lined neighbourhoods like Glen Allan, Broadmoor and Clarkdale Meadows, newer subdivisions such as Summerwood, and the acreages that surround the urban area. Each brings different pest pressure, so the advice for a 1980s bungalow near mature trees isn't the same as for a new build beside an open field.
Common pests in Sherwood Park
- Wasps and yellowjackets: nests in soffits, fence posts, sheds and the ground. Large colonies by August make removal risky to do yourself. See wasp nest removal.
- Mice: the top fall and winter pest, entering through attached garages, crawl spaces and gaps where utility lines enter. See mice control.
- Ants and carpenter ants: pavement ants in kitchens in spring; carpenter ants in decks, old stumps and moist wood near mature trees. See ant control.
- Spiders and earwigs: they come in through window wells and basement doors from landscaped yards.
- Bed bugs: found after travel or second-hand furniture, in houses as well as multi-unit buildings. See bed bug treatment.
Pest control for Strathcona County acreages
Acreages around Sherwood Park have more buildings, more open land and more places for pests to hide than a city lot. Mice, wasps and ants are the main problems, and the key is protecting the house and the outbuildings you care about, not treating the whole property.
On acreages we typically focus on the house foundation and attached garage, then shops, barns and sheds where equipment, feed or seed are stored. Mice that live in the surrounding fields shelter in these outbuildings over winter and move toward the house when they can. Tamper-resistant bait stations, traps placed along walls, and sealing gaps around doors and utility runs make the biggest difference.
Pocket gophers and voles are common in Strathcona County lawns and pasture. We mention them because acreage owners ask, but our focus is protecting your buildings from mice, wasps and insects.
Why do Sherwood Park homes get so many wasps?
Sherwood Park's mature trees, fences, decks and green belts give yellowjackets sheltered nesting spots and plenty of food. Colonies start small in spring and can hold thousands of wasps by late summer, which is when most people notice them.
Because the City of Edmonton reports yellowjacket numbers peaking in mid-to-late August, the same pattern shows up in Sherwood Park. The cheapest and safest time to deal with a nest is early in the season, when it's the size of a golf ball. If you've already got a large nest beside a door, deck or play area, don't spray it or plug the entrance. Call us and we'll remove it.

What does pest control cost in Sherwood Park?
Most one-time residential pest treatments in Sherwood Park cost between about $150 and $650 (typical Edmonton-area market prices). Acreages with several outbuildings, wasp nests inside walls, and bed bugs cost more because they take more time and follow-up.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sherwood Park in Edmonton for pest control service?
Sherwood Park is a hamlet in Strathcona County, just east of Edmonton, not part of the City of Edmonton. It's a core part of our service area. Our office in Mill Woods, south-east Edmonton, is a short drive away, so Sherwood Park homes and businesses get the same service as Edmonton addresses.
Do you remove wasp nests in Sherwood Park?
Yes. Wasp nest removal is one of our most common Sherwood Park calls in July and August, especially in established neighbourhoods with mature trees, fences and decks. Nests in soffits, sheds, wall voids and the ground are removed with the right protective equipment, so you don't have to get close to the colony.
Do you service acreages in Strathcona County?
Yes. We service acreages and rural properties around Sherwood Park in Strathcona County. Acreages usually have more buildings and more open land beside them, so mice and wasps are common. We inspect the house, the garage and the outbuildings that matter to you and quote before we start.
Why do mice get into Sherwood Park garages?
Attached garages are warm, often have small gaps under the door seal, and store bird seed, pet food and grass seed. When fall temperatures drop, mice from nearby fields and green belts follow those smells and squeeze under worn seals. Replacing the door sweep and sealing utility openings stops most of them.
Do you offer commercial pest control in Sherwood Park?
Yes. We work with restaurants, retail stores, offices and warehouses in Sherwood Park and Strathcona County, providing inspections, treatment and written service reports you can keep on file for health inspections and property managers.
