What changes in Dieppe
Dieppe: confirmed local pest-prevention rule/program
Dieppe Waste By-law C-2 (2024), section 4(4), requires residential owners or occupants to prevent nuisance animals, rodents, vermin and birds from accessing garbage stored outside the main dwelling. Waste that spills onto private property must be picked up within 24 hours. This is a specific local waste-and-pest-prevention duty, not a general requirement to spray for every insect.
If rodents or birds are accessing outdoor waste in Dieppe, first secure containers and recover spills; the municipal rule directly addresses that attractant. Commercial and industrial waste storage has a similar animal-access restriction under section 5. Continue to distinguish waste duties from provincial licensing and household pesticide label requirements.

Four property checks for Dieppe
Basements, crawlspaces, kitchens and exterior drainage deserve attention where persistent moisture is present.
Before adding more traps, inspect the building envelope for the gap that is allowing repeated access.
Watch where the trail begins and ends; the route usually tells you more than the visible workers.
Risk depends on where the nest is and how people use the space, not simply on seeing a wasp outdoors.
Match the plan to the building
A room-by-room response is not always enough: consider how walls, utilities, garages and exterior openings connect the affected area to the rest of the building.
Use the least disruptive control that fits the evidence. If sanitation, sealing, trapping or monitoring can address the route, there is no advantage in starting with a broader chemical treatment.
If control reaches the pesticide stage, verify the Pest Control Product registration and read the current label before purchase or use. The Canadian label guide explains the check.
New Brunswick and Dieppe: rule check
For household pest work, separate the federal product question from the local-use question. The Canadian label sets the approved use; New Brunswick and the municipality may impose additional limits.
