Residential Bee and Wasp Removal for Homeowners in Peoria, AZ

Wasp removal in Peoria starts with a close look at what is actually nesting on your property. Paper wasps favor eaves, garages and patio covers, while honey bees can settle into block walls, sheds and gaps in the attic. Arizona is also home to Africanized honey bees, which defend a hive hard and in numbers. A nest near the places your family spends time is worth a call sooner rather than later.
City Wide Pest Control is locally owned and operated and family owned since 1986, with our base in Phoenix. Homeowners who need bee removal in Peoria can reach us Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, at (602) 944-0099. For Africanized bee concerns, our emergency line is (602) 576-5452, and our licensed team takes every call seriously.

Bees steadily coming and going from a gap in a block wall, stucco, roof eave or wall void

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

Steady bee traffic concentrated around one spot in your yard or on your house

Papery wasp nests tucked under eaves, in patio covers or inside the garage

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

  • Why It Matters

Why Prompt Bee and Wasp Removal Helps

Bee control in Peoria is best left to professionals because UA Extension advises that any wild honeybee should be considered Africanized. Africanized honeybees were first seen in Arizona in 1993 and have since been recorded statewide, including Yavapai County since 1997. Colonies defend their nest more fiercely than European honey bees do, so a hive near a patio or play area is not a do-it-yourself job.
Stings can trigger serious allergic reactions in some people, and paper wasps and yellow jackets will defend a nest when it is disturbed. Wasp control in Peoria clears those nests from doors, grills and play areas. A hive left inside a wall can also draw ants and roaches, and honeycomb that melts in summer heat can stain drywall and stucco.

Bee and Wasp Removal Across Peoria Neighborhoods

Peoria had an estimated population of 196,906 in the ACS 2020 to 2024 5-year estimates, and about 74.3 percent of its housing units (58,736 of 79,085) are single-family detached homes. That makes yards, block walls, garages and patios the places we check first. Whether you live in Vistancia, near Old Town Peoria or in Trilogy Ridgecrest, the inspection starts in those same spots.
Lake Pleasant Regional Park runs pollinator and butterfly monitoring, and we respect that bees matter outdoors. Our focus is the colony or nest close to your doors and patios. UA Extension advises filling wall cracks with steel wool and caulk and covering water valve boxes to keep honeybees from nesting, and calling a pest control company or beekeeper for a swarm or colony. That is where we come in.

  • Our Method

How Our Removal Process Works

Step 1
Emergency Response
Same-day service is available, and our Africanized bee emergency line at (602) 576-5452 is there for active swarms or aggressive hives.
Step 2
Assessment
A technician identifies the species, finds the hive or nest, judges its size and how easy it is to reach, and assesses the risk to your household.
Step 3
Safe Removal and Treatment
Beehive removal in Peoria uses professional equipment and is planned around where the colony has settled. When bees are inside a wall, we treat the colony first, then map out extraction and sealing together with you.
Step 4
Entry Point Sealing
Afterward, we close the openings the bees used so a new colony cannot move in. Open cavities can draw scouts within weeks.
Step 5
30-Day Warranty
Every job is backed by a 30-day warranty covering the spot we treated.

Common Bees and Wasps in the Peoria Area

Apis mellifera scutellata hybrid
  • High Risk
Looks like a European honey bee but is far quicker to defend its nest. Settles into hollow block walls, sheds, water valve boxes and gaps in exterior walls, and responds in numbers when disturbed. Any wild honeybee should be treated as Africanized.

  • Low Risk
Slim wasps measuring 3/4 to 1 inch, reddish to dark brown. Their small open-celled paper nests hang from eaves, patio covers and porch ceilings. Calmer than Africanized bees, but they sting if a nest is disturbed.

  • Low Risk
Compact wasps banded in bright yellow and black, about 1/2 inch long. Bold around food and drinks at cookouts. Nests turn up underground, in wall voids and in attics, and each wasp can sting repeatedly.
