Common Wasps & Hornets in Phoenix

You’ll typically encounter:

  • Paper Wasps (Polistes spp.) – The most common, with open, umbrella-shaped nests under roofs, patio covers, and playground equipment. Slender, reddish-brown or yellow/black.
  • Mud Daubers – Solitary wasps that build little mud tubes in garages, sheds, or eaves. Usually non-aggressive, but messy!
  • Yellowjackets (Vespula spp.) – Compact, aggressive, ground- or wall-nesting wasps. Black and yellow, often mistaken for bees but far more defensive.
  • Bald-faced Hornets (Dolichovespula maculata) – Actually a type of yellowjacket; build large, football-shaped aerial nests in trees or on buildings.

Why Are Wasps Dangerous?

  • Stings can be severe: Unlike bees, wasps and hornets can sting multiple times.
  • Allergies: Their venom can trigger severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals—don’t take chances.
  • Aggressive defense: Wasps become highly territorial if you approach their nest, especially yellowjackets and hornets.
  • Hidden nests: Wasps build in unexpected places—inside walls, BBQ grills, playgrounds, irrigation boxes, even underground.
  • Multiple nests:
    • Unlike bees (who build a single, “cathedral” hive), many wasp species build several small nests across their territory, maximizing survival and dominance.
    • This makes them harder to fully remove without professional help.

Our Approach: Wasp & Hornet Removal

  • Inspection: We identify every nest—visible and hidden—using years of field experience.
  • Safe Treatment: Our techs use targeted, environmentally responsible products and removal methods.
  • Nest Removal: We don’t just “spray and go”—we remove nests (including those high up or deep inside walls/boxes).
  • Prevention: We advise on sealing entry points and discouraging future colonies.

Why We Don’t Relocate Wasps (and Why That’s Okay!)

While honey bees are precious pollinators that deserve a second chance, wasps are… well, a bit more complicated. Live removal of wasp nests simply isn’t practical or prudent. Unlike honey bees, wasps aren’t endangered, and their colonies are fiercely defensive, making relocation risky and rarely successful.

But don’t worry—they’re not villains! In the wild, wasps play a vital role as natural pest controllers, keeping other insect populations in check. That said, when they set up shop near your home or business, safety comes first. Our approach is always humane and targeted—eliminating the problem nest to protect you and your family, while leaving the rest of the wild wasp world undisturbed.

And rest assured: wasp populations are thriving. Your local wasp queen doesn’t need rescuing—she needs boundaries!
