Residential Bee and Wasp Removal Backed by 40 Years of Service

If you need wasp removal in Glendale, start with safety. Bees and wasps are a real concern for Arizona homeowners, and University of Arizona Extension states that all wild honey bees in Arizona are considered to be Africanized to some extent. A colony in a block wall, attic or shed is not something to put off. Wasps tend to settle under eaves, in garages and near patios, right where your family spends time.
City Wide Pest Control is locally owned and operated, and our technicians handle bee removal in Glendale with the care a family business brings to every call. For Africanized bee emergencies, our dedicated line is (602) 576-5452. As a family owned company, we know how urgent a hive can feel, so we take each bee call seriously.

Signs Bees or Wasps Have Moved In

Here is what to look for around your home or yard.

A steady stream of bees going to and from a crack in a block wall, stucco or roof eave

Visible comb or a growing hive on a tree, shed, eave or meter box

More bees than usual buzzing around one spot of your yard or home

Papery wasp nests hanging under eaves, patio covers or in garages

Bees slipping in through weep holes, pipe openings or roofline gaps

A clump of bees hanging from a branch, fence or wall, often a swarm scouting for a place to settle

If bees are swarming or acting aggressive, call our Africanized bee emergency line at (602) 576-5452.

  • Why It Matters

Why Professional Removal Makes Sense

Professional bee control in Glendale is worth it because established colonies may be highly defensive if provoked, according to University of Arizona Extension. The same source advises watching for bee swarms in spring and summer and putting mesh screening over rainspouts, chimneys and water meter boxes. A trained technician can find the colony, judge its size and remove it safely, which is not a safe do-it-yourself job.
Some people react strongly to stings, so a nest near a door or play area deserves a professional look. Paper wasps and yellow jackets defend their nests when disturbed, which is why wasp control in Glendale is best left to trained technicians. Honey in a wall void can also draw ants and roaches, and melting comb can damage drywall and stucco.

Bee and Wasp Help for Glendale Homes

Glendale’s median year a housing structure was built is 1987 (ACS 2024 1-year), so older stucco, eaves and block walls are worth a regular look. Knowing who to call helps too. The Glendale Fire Department responds only when bees are attacking people or animals, and it directs residents to an exterminator with bee experience for other bee problems.
Maricopa County Vector Control investigates feral bee complaints to identify the party responsible for removing the hive, but it does not respond to swarms and refers residents to a pest control company. That is the call we handle, from Catlin Court to Westgate. Glendale Water Services offers residential and non-residential rebates for landscape conversion to xeriscape or artificial grass, irrigation technology and pool or spa removal, so if you are reworking your yard, it is a good time to check meter boxes and irrigation areas for new bee activity.

  • Our Method

Our Removal Process, Step by Step

Step 1
Emergency Response
For active swarms or defensive hives, we move quickly. Call Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, or use the Africanized bee emergency line, and same-day service is available.
Step 2
Assessment
A technician confirms which insect you have, finds where it is living, notes how large and reachable it is, and weighs the risk to people and pets nearby.
Step 3
Safe Removal and Treatment
Our technicians use professional equipment to treat and clear each nest. For beehive removal in Glendale involving a wall void, we treat the colony and then coordinate extraction and sealing with you.
Step 4
Entry Point Sealing
Once the colony is gone, we close up the openings it used. An empty cavity can invite a new colony to move in.
Step 5
30-Day Warranty
Our bee service is backed by a 30-day warranty, and we stand behind the work we do.
  • Know Your Pest

Common Bee and Wasp Species Around Glendale

Apis mellifera scutellata hybrid
  • High Risk
Nearly indistinguishable from a European honey bee by sight, but much more defensive. Colonies settle in meter boxes, sheds, block walls, wall voids and similar cavities, and respond to a disturbance fast and in large numbers. Wild honey bees in Arizona are all considered Africanized to some extent.

Paper Wasp
Polistes spp.
  • Low Risk
Slender wasps about 3/4 to 1 inch long, in shades of reddish brown to dark brown. They hang small, open-celled paper nests from eaves, patio covers and outdoor furniture. They are calmer than Africanized bees, but they will defend a disturbed nest with stings.
Western yellowjacket (Vespula pensylvanica), black and yellow banded wasp on weathered wood
Yellow Jacket
Vespula spp.
  • Low Risk
Stocky yellow and black wasps, roughly 1/2 inch long. Pushy around food and drinks at outdoor gatherings. They nest in ground cavities, wall voids and attics, and can sting more than once.

  • FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a wasp exterminator in Glendale, AZ?
Yes. City Wide Pest Control sends licensed technicians to identify the wasp, locate the nest and remove it, whether it is a paper wasp nest under an eave or yellow jackets in a wall void. Call (602) 944-0099, Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, and tell us what you are seeing.
The Glendale Fire Department responds only when bees are attacking people or animals, and it directs residents to an exterminator with bee experience for other bee problems. That is where we come in. Call (602) 944-0099, or use our Africanized bee emergency line at (602) 576-5452 if bees are swarming or aggressive.
Not directly. Maricopa County Vector Control investigates feral bee complaints to identify the party responsible for removing the hive, but it does not respond to swarms and refers residents to a pest control company. We can inspect the colony, remove it and seal the entry points, with a 30-day warranty on our bee service.
Usually not. Paper wasps are slender and defend their nests when disturbed, while yellow jackets are stockier, bolder around food and drinks, and can sting more than once. Either one can be a problem near a nest, so keep your distance and let a technician handle it.
Same-day service is available. Call us at (602) 944-0099, Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, and describe what you are seeing so we can plan the visit. We are based in Phoenix and serve 25+ cities across Maricopa County, including Glendale. Residential service has no contracts.
Call a licensed pest control company with bee experience. City Wide Pest Control treats and removes colonies, seals the entry points and backs bee service with a 30-day warranty. Because wild honey bees in Arizona are considered Africanized to some extent, avoid disturbing the nest yourself. For emergencies, call (602) 576-5452.
