Your local exterminator in Stony Plain
Alberta Pest Services provides pest control in Stony Plain and the surrounding Parkland County area. As a Stony Plain exterminator, we inspect your property, identify the pest, treat it with the right method, and seal the gaps it uses, for homes, rentals, businesses and acreages.
Stony Plain is known for its outdoor murals and its historic downtown, and it has a real mix of housing. There are older homes close to the town centre, newer neighbourhoods such as Westerra and Genesis on the Lakes on the edges of town, and acreages spread across the countryside beyond. Each of those comes with its own pest pressure.
Older homes tend to have more hidden entry points for mice and more aging wood that carpenter ants like. New builds on the edge of town sit beside fields where mice and ground-nesting wasps live. Acreages combine both, plus outbuildings. That's why we start every Stony Plain job with an inspection, not a one-size-fits-all spray.
Common pests in Stony Plain
- Mice: in older homes through settled foundations and old service openings, and in new builds next to fields. See mice control.
- Wasps and yellowjackets: nests in eaves, sheds, fences and the ground, largest in August. See wasp nest removal.
- Carpenter ants: drawn to older wood, decks and stumps under mature trees. See ant control.
- Spiders and cluster flies: found in older homes and attics in fall.
- Bed bugs: appear in rentals and homes after travel or used furniture. See bed bug treatment.
Mice in Stony Plain's older homes
Older Stony Plain homes near the downtown often have more mouse entry points than new houses: settled foundations, gaps around old pipes and wiring, worn weather-stripping, and crawl spaces. Finding and sealing those gaps is the difference between a mouse problem that keeps coming back and one that's fixed.
On a typical older home we check the foundation line, the joints where additions meet the original house, the openings around plumbing and electrical services, basement windows, and the attic. Traps and tamper-resistant bait stations handle the mice already inside, and sealing stops the next group. Read more about how we get rid of mice.
Cleaning up after mice: Alberta Health warns that deer mice can carry hantavirus. Air out the area, wet droppings with a bleach solution, and wipe them up wearing gloves. Never sweep or vacuum.
Pest control on acreages around Stony Plain
For Parkland County acreages near Stony Plain, we focus on the house, attached garage and important outbuildings, the places where mice and wasps cause real problems, rather than trying to treat open land.
Shops and barns that store grain, seed or pet food attract mice all winter, and old fence posts and under-eave spaces host wasp nests all summer. A plan of bait stations along building walls, traps inside, and sealing doors and utility runs protects what matters. Voles and pocket gophers are common in rural lawns, but our service is focused on your buildings.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer pest control in Stony Plain?
Yes. Stony Plain is part of our service area west of Edmonton, together with Spruce Grove and the surrounding Parkland County acreages. We treat mice, wasps, ants, spiders and bed bugs in houses, rentals and businesses. Call (780) 262-3335 for advice and a quote.
Why do older homes in Stony Plain get mice?
Older houses near Stony Plain's historic downtown have had decades for foundations to settle, wood to shrink and new pipes and wires to be added through the walls. Each change can leave a small gap. Mice need only a pencil-width opening, so older homes often have more entry points to find and seal.
Are wasps a big problem in Stony Plain?
Yes, especially in mid-to-late August, when yellowjacket colonies are at their largest. Mature trees, sheds, fences and decks in established Stony Plain yards and on nearby acreages give wasps plenty of sheltered nest sites. Nests near doors and play areas should be removed by a professional.
Do you service acreages near Stony Plain?
Yes. We service acreages around Stony Plain in Parkland County. We focus on keeping mice out of the house, attached garage and the outbuildings that store equipment or feed, and on removing wasp nests from sheds, barns and fence lines.
How do I know if I need an exterminator or can do it myself?
One mouse caught in a snap trap with no more droppings, or a tiny spring wasp nest, can often be handled yourself. Repeated droppings, scratching in walls, nests inside soffits or walls, or any sign of bed bugs usually needs a professional. Call us and we will tell you honestly which it is.
