Bees and wasps pose unique challenges – what to expect

Are you finding swarms of bees around your property? Has a colony moved into your walls or attic? Do you have allergies and worry about stings and the potential health risk?

We understand that the constant buzzing of bees or wasps can be frustrating and frightening and we are here to help. The removal or extermination of these buzzing insects often depends on what type of infestation you have.

Wasp extermination & removal

Wasp Extermination and Removal – When it comes to wasps, our expert technicians will come in to remove or exterminate the wasp colony. In addition, they will remove all existing nests in your home, business, or property as abandoned nests can be a big invitation to new wasps.

Difference between bees & wasps

Both bees and wasps can be very beneficial to humans and our environment. While bees are well-known for their pollination, wasps are predatory insects that help control pests that can infest crops, gardens, and landscape plants. But what really makes them different?

Types of bees

When it comes to bee populations in the Phoenix area, there are actually many different species, including some that you may not be aware of. Bees are pollinators, covered with tiny hairs that collect pollen and play a vital role in pollination. In addition to these main bee species, you can also find long-horned, mining, squash, sweat, leafcutter, mason, cuckoo, and yellow-faced bees in the Phoenix area.
Bumblebee

Bumble bee

These are extremely hairy bees that can be up to an inch long and tend to live below boards or underground. They are black with yellow, orange, or white bands.
Honeybee

Honeybees

Honeybees can grow up to ¾ inch and have brownish-gold hair. These are the bees responsible for most of the pollination. While European honeybees do not usually pose much of a threat, here in the Phoenix area, most honeybee colonies are mixed with Africanized honeybees and can become highly aggressive when protecting their hive.
Carpenter Bee

Carpenter bees

Often confused with bumblebees, carpenter bees have large jaws that allow them to chew wood. While they aren’t usually aggressive, they can cause damage to your home or business.

Types of wasps

While wasps may unintentionally pollinate, they are meat and sweet scavengers that collect food to return the nest and feed other colony members. This means they can play a beneficial role in pest control, as they hunt other insects. There are two main wasp species in our area.
Yellowjacket Wasp

Western Yellowjackets

These are black and yellow striped wasps that are social and typically ground-nesting, often nesting in rodent burrows, and wall voids, though they can be found in attics.
Paper Wasp

Paper Wasps

The three most common paper wasps in our area are the yellow paper wasp, Navajo paper wasp, and Arizona paper wasp. These wasp nests are typically found on roof overhangs and ceilings.

Residential

No one wants to share their home with pests and our technicians understand this. Residential pest control begins with a comprehensive inspection and evaluation, looking for signs of pest activity and property damage. Our experts inspect your home, they create a comprehensive treatment plan to exterminate and remove the problem pests, address any home damage, and work with you to create a deterrent and pest management solution to keep your home pest-free.

FAQ

Do bees come back after removal?

After bee removal, there is a chance that some bees will return. Worker bees that were not present during the bee removal process may return later to the hive. With the queen no longer there, these bees become what is known as straggler bees. In most cases, these bees will leave on their own once they realize the queen is no longer there, however some may remain. If straggler bees remain for an extended time, our technicians can return to collect them at no additional charge.

Where do wasps build nests?

Depending on the type of wasp, you can expect to find nests in holes underground, around the spaces in your foundation, attached to the sides of buildings or trees, and under the eaves of porches and patios.

Why are bees around my house?

While bees search for pollen and nectar, they also search for sources of water, and your home may be providing that source. In addition, if you have had previous bee problems, a pre-existing hive or scent may be attracting a new colony.

How long does a wasp nest last?

A typical wasp nest lasts three to four months. However, an abandoned wasp nest can attract new wasps that will recycle the nest material to build a new one. This is why nest removal is a necessary part of wasp extermination.
