Bee and Wasp Removal for Tempe Businesses

A hive or nest on commercial property is a safety issue for staff, customers and anyone passing the entrance. Africanized honey bees defend their colonies fiercely and may swarm when disturbed, so they are never a do-it-yourself job. Whether the colony sits in a wall void, under a roofline or in an equipment area, trained technicians are the safe way to remove it. Paper wasps and yellow jackets call for the same care.
Property managers across the East Valley call City Wide Pest Control for commercial bee removal in Tempe. We are based in Phoenix, serve 25+ cities across Maricopa County, and have more than 40 years of service behind us. Our technicians and office staff are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division (license #2317). For an Africanized bee emergency, call (602) 576-5452.

  • Why It Matters

Why Professional Removal Matters

Stings can cause serious allergic reactions in some people, and a defensive swarm can reach several people at once. For a business, that can mean an injured employee, an unhappy customer and liability questions. A colony hidden in a wall also leaves damage behind, since melting honeycomb stains drywall and draws ants and roaches. Commercial wasp control in Tempe handles paper wasp and yellow jacket nests too.
Rooftop units, signage cavities, wall voids and loading docks give colonies plenty of places to settle. The same is true for warehouses, so industrial bee removal in Tempe starts with a check of docks and rooflines.

Bee and Wasp Control Around Tempe Properties

About 190,000 people live in Tempe, with a median age of 30.5 (ACS 2024 1-year estimate), and roughly 59 percent of occupied homes are renter occupied. About 45 percent of housing units sit in buildings with 5 or more units, so shared grounds and rooflines often fall to a single property manager. When a nest shows up on one of those properties, that manager is who we work with.
Tempe Town Lake is a lake of more than 2 miles, created by damming part of the dry Salt River and running from west of McClintock Road to east of Priest Road, and we serve businesses along the water. Discovery Business Campus at Elliot Road and Loop 101 is a 135-acre park planned for about 2.5 million square feet of office and light industrial space. Maricopa County Vector Control investigates feral bee complaints to find the responsible party, but it tells residents to call a local pest control company to remove a swarm or colony.

Bee and Wasp Species Found in Tempe

Apis mellifera scutellata hybrid
  • High Risk
A very defensive bee that stings in large numbers when its colony is disturbed. Settles in signage cavities, equipment housings, roofline gaps and wall voids.
Paper wasp (Polistes) on the open hexagonal comb of its paper nest
Paper Wasp
Polistes spp.
  • Moderate Risk
Makes papery nests under eaves, on patio covers and beneath dock overhangs. Calmer than Africanized bees, but it still stings when the nest is bothered.
Western yellowjacket (Vespula pensylvanica), black and yellow banded wasp on weathered wood
Yellow Jacket
Vespula spp.
  • High Risk
Defensive around food and trash, so outdoor dining areas and dumpsters attract it. Builds colonies in ground cavities or inside walls.

  • FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who removes a feral bee colony from a Tempe business?
Maricopa County Vector Control investigates feral bee complaints to find the responsible party, but it tells residents to call a local pest control company to remove a swarm or colony. City Wide Pest Control does that work for commercial properties. Call (602) 944-0099 during business hours, or the Africanized bee emergency line at (602) 576-5452 if bees are swarming.
They can, mainly because of how the property is organized. About 45 percent of Tempe’s housing units sit in buildings with 5 or more units, and about 20 percent (18,070 units) are in buildings with 50 or more units. We work with the property manager on access, treatment and service records for the shared areas. Commercial accounts use a service agreement.
Yes. Tempe Town Lake is a more than 2-mile lake running from west of McClintock Road to east of Priest Road, and Discovery Business Campus at Elliot Road and Loop 101 is a 135-acre park planned for about 2.5 million square feet of office and light industrial space. We serve commercial properties across the East Valley, and same-day service is available.
Generally the reverse. Yellow jackets tend to be the more defensive of the two, especially around food and trash at outdoor dining areas and dumpsters. Paper wasps usually keep to their nests under eaves and overhangs but will sting if the nest is disturbed. Either way, a technician should identify the species before any treatment begins.
City Wide Pest Control offers same-day service for wasps and bees on commercial property, depending on availability. Call (602) 944-0099, Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, and tell us where the nest is and how active it looks. We serve more than 25 cities across Maricopa County, so there is a good chance we cover your area.
Call a licensed pest control company rather than removing it yourself. At City Wide, technicians and office staff are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division (license #2317). Bee work carries a 30-day warranty, and commercial accounts sign a service agreement. If bees are swarming, use the Africanized bee emergency line at (602) 576-5452.
