Residential Bee and Wasp Services for Paradise Valley Homes

Bees and wasps are best left to trained professionals. According to UA Cooperative Extension, all wild honey bees in Arizona are considered Africanized to some extent, and they often nest in hollow-block walls, wall voids, attics and in-ground irrigation boxes. Wasps tend to settle under eaves, in garages and beside patios. Whether you need bee removal in Paradise Valley or help with an active nest, we can take care of it.
City Wide Pest Control is family owned and based in Phoenix, and owners Mike and Steven keep it locally owned and operated, just as the same family has since 1986. Our Africanized bee emergency line is (602) 576-5452. Looking for a bee exterminator in Paradise Valley? Our licensed technicians take every bee call seriously, and same-day service is available.

Signs of a Bee or Wasp Problem

Here are a few things worth noticing around your home.

A steady stream of bees entering and leaving a crack in a wall, the stucco, or the roofline

Comb or a hive taking shape in a tree, shed, eave or water meter box

More and more bees buzzing around one spot in your yard or house

Paper wasp nests hanging from porch ceilings, eaves or garage corners

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

A cluster of bees resting on a tree, fence or building, which may be a swarm looking for a home

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

  • Why It Matters

Why Professional Removal Is Worth It

Good bee control in Paradise Valley starts with knowing what you are dealing with. UA Cooperative Extension advises screening rainspouts, chimneys and water meter boxes against wild bees, and notes that once a colony is removed, its void must be cleaned out and sealed, or new swarms will recolonize it. That is why we treat removal and sealing as one job.
Stings can cause serious allergic reactions in some people, and a defensive colony may sting many times. Paper wasps and yellow jackets also defend their nests when disturbed. A hive left inside a wall can create more trouble over time: honey can draw ants and roaches, and melting comb may stain or damage drywall and stucco.

Bee and Wasp Help Across Paradise Valley

Paradise Valley was incorporated on May 24, 1961, after residents organized to keep a one-house-per-acre, entirely residential community, and the Town’s 2022 General Plan vision still calls for a primarily one-acre residential community. Residents ratified that plan with 81% of the vote on August 2, 2022. The Town covers about 15.4 square miles and counted 12,658 residents and 5,046 households in the 2020 Census. Large lots give a colony plenty of walls, sheds and irrigation boxes to choose from, so careful beehive removal in Paradise Valley starts with checking each one.
Homeowners near Mummy Mountain or the Camelback Mountain foothills should also know that, per the Resident’s Guide, hillside construction, including roofing, outdoor lighting, walls and fences, must be approved by the Town’s Hillside Building Committee before a building permit is issued. If sealing a void after removal touches any of that, check first. We handle the pest side and will tell you what needs closing up.

  • Our Method

How Our Removal Process Works

Step 1
Emergency Response
Same-day service is available. For wasp removal in Paradise Valley or an urgent bee situation, call (602) 944-0099, or use our Africanized bee emergency line at (602) 576-5452.
Step 2
Assessment
A technician identifies the species, finds the colony, gauges its size and how easy it is to reach, and weighs the risk to your household.
Step 3
Safe Removal and Treatment
We remove nests and colonies using professional equipment. When bees are inside a wall, we treat the colony, then coordinate the cleanout with you so the void is not left open for a new swarm.
Step 4
Entry Point Sealing
Afterward we seal the openings the bees used, because an empty void can draw a new colony before long.
Step 5
30-Day Warranty
Our bee work is backed by a 30-day warranty covering the spot we treated.

Common Bees and Wasps Around Paradise Valley

Apis mellifera scutellata hybrid
  • High Risk
Looks much like a European honey bee but is far more defensive. Colonies move into hollow walls, sheds, irrigation boxes, attics and other sheltered spots, and react to a disturbance fast and in large numbers. Wild honey bees in Arizona are considered Africanized to some extent.

Paper Wasp
Polistes spp.
  • Low Risk
Slender wasps, 3/4 to 1 inch, in shades from reddish-brown to dark brown. They hang small, open-celled paper nests from eaves, covered patios and the underside of outdoor furniture. Calmer than Africanized bees, but they sting if a nest is disturbed.
Western yellowjacket (Vespula pensylvanica), black and yellow banded wasp on weathered wood
Yellow Jacket
Vespula spp.
  • Low Risk
Stocky and bright yellow with black, around 1/2 inch. They crowd around food and drinks at outdoor gatherings. Nests are tucked into hollows in the ground, wall voids and attics, and they can sting repeatedly.

UA Cooperative Extension advises screening rainspouts, chimneys and water meter boxes, and says a removed colony’s void must be cleaned out and sealed or new swarms will recolonize it. On a one-acre property, that means checking walls, sheds and irrigation boxes. We seal the entry points after removal, and bee removal includes a 30-day warranty on the treated area.
Usually not. Yellow jackets tend to be the more aggressive of the two, especially around food and drinks at outdoor gatherings, and they can sting repeatedly. Paper wasps are slender, build open-celled nests under eaves, and mostly sting when a nest is disturbed. Either way, have a licensed professional treat the nest rather than knocking it down yourself.
