Residential Bee Exterminator in Anthem for Bees and Wasps

Safety comes first with stinging insects, and Arizona homeowners have good reason to take them seriously. The University of Arizona says all wild honey bees in Arizona are considered Africanized to some extent, so they may defend a larger zone around their colony than western honey bees do. A colony in a wall void, attic or storage shed should not wait. Wasps tuck nests beneath roof overhangs, inside garages and close to patios, so wasp control in Anthem often starts where your family spends its evenings.
Based in Phoenix, City Wide Pest Control has been family owned since 1986 and is locally owned and operated by the same family. If you are looking for a wasp exterminator in Anthem, we have more than 40 years behind us. Our Africanized bee emergency line, (602) 576-5452, is there when a colony turns defensive, and we treat every bee call with urgency.

  • Why It Matters

Why Professional Removal Is Worth It

Professional bee control in Anthem matters because wild colonies in Arizona behave differently than the western honey bees many people picture. They can respond to a disturbance in greater numbers and may defend a wider area around the hive. University of Arizona Extension notes that wild honey bees in the state nest in hollow block walls, wall voids, attics and in ground irrigation boxes, and that swarming is common in spring.
Stings can trigger serious allergic reactions in some people, and a group stinging event is dangerous even for those who have never had one. Paper wasps and yellow jackets also defend their nests firmly. A colony left inside a wall can cause further trouble too: honey draws ants and roaches, and melted comb can stain drywall and stucco.

What Anthem Homeowners Should Know About Stinging Insects

Anthem is an unincorporated community rather than a city, and east of I-17 Maricopa County handles vector control and animal care and control. Maricopa County Vector Control investigates feral bee complaints but tells residents to call a local pest control company to remove bees on their property, and that is the service we provide. Homes in Anthem Parkside, Arroyo Grande or The Landing get the same careful inspection.
Wild honey bees in Arizona use hollow block walls, wall voids, attics and in ground irrigation boxes, and swarming is common in spring, so those are the first places we check. Outdoor time is part of life here, from backyard patios to Lake Pleasant Regional Park, a 23,362 acre Maricopa County park in the northwest Valley with a Central Arizona Project reservoir whose surface ranges from over 3,000 to almost 10,000 acres. Patios and garages deserve the same attention.

  • Our Method

How We Handle Bees and Wasps

Step 1
Emergency Response
For active swarms or defensive hives, we move quickly. Call the Africanized bee emergency line and we will get you scheduled, with same-day service available.
Step 2
Assessment
A technician identifies the species, finds the hive or nest, gauges its size and how easy it is to reach, and judges how much risk it poses to your household.
Step 3
Safe Removal and Treatment
Each hive or nest is treated and removed with professional equipment. For beehive removal in Anthem, a colony inside a wall also means planning extraction and sealing with you so it stays gone.
Step 4
Entry Point Sealing
Once the colony is gone, we close up the openings the bees used. Empty cavities can draw a new colony within weeks.
Step 5
30-Day Warranty
Bee removal is backed by our 30-day warranty, which covers the area we treated.

  • High Risk
Looks nearly the same as a European honey bee but defends its colony much harder. Moves into hollow block walls, wall voids, attics and in ground irrigation boxes. Responds fast and in numbers when disturbed. All wild honey bees in Arizona are considered Africanized to some extent.

  • Low Risk
Slim wasps measuring 3/4 to 1 inch, with a reddish or dark brown body. Hang small open paper nests from eaves and patio covers, or under outdoor furniture. Calmer than Africanized bees, yet they sting if the nest is bothered.

Yellow Jacket
Vespula spp.
  • Low Risk
Compact, bright yellow and black wasps about 1/2 inch long. Drawn to food and drinks at outdoor gatherings. They nest in the ground, wall voids or attics and can sting more than once.
