At AP Pest Control, we're dedicated to providing fast, effective wasp control tailored to your Arizona home or business. We thoroughly inspect your property to locate nests in hidden or hard-to-reach spots, then we apply an application of treatments which severely reduce the activity of the wasps, inducing a state they will seemingly curse themselves out of before returning. Our work is generated in such a way that it produces the best results of longevity, thus making the entire operation virtually invisible. Feel free to have a seat and enjoy an evening in your lively garden, absent the hoofing buzz of wasps. Trust us to keep your property comfortable and pest-free year-round.
Dealing with wasps around your home or business can be in very stressful, sometimes downright scary proportions. At AP Pest Control, we know how rough and territorial these pests can be, most of the time during the warm Arizona months, and that is how we treat wasps- with sheer precaution and elements of the best strategies in removing them.
First, we start with a thorough inspection. Not all stinging insects are the same, and proper identification is key. We determine whether you’re dealing with paper wasps, yellow jackets, or hornets, and then locate their nests—whether they’re hanging under eaves, tucked into bushes, or hidden in wall voids.
Once we know what we’re working with, we use targeted treatments that are tough on wasps without being disruptive to your home or property. We carefully apply dusts or sprays directly to the nest and surrounding entry points, taking precautions to avoid agitating the colony. Timing and technique are important—We usually treat nests during cooler parts of the day when wasps are less active.
After treating the nest, we remove it if it’s accessible. Leaving a treated nest in place can sometimes attract more wasps or simply leave an eyesore. Getting rid of it entirely reduces the chance of reinfestation and keeps your property looking clean.
Wasps are persistent, so we always talk with customers about long-term prevention. That may include sealing up small cracks, removing food and water sources, trimming back shrubs, or installing wasp traps in problem areas. If needed, we also offer routine maintenance services to keep wasps from making a comeback.
You wouldn't want to take any chances when it comes to wasp control. We bring experience, the right tools, and no no-rush attitude. From a single nest to activity around your property, we treat everything with care and attention to detail. Our aim at AP Pest Control is to take care of the problem as fast as possible and without fuss so that you can enjoy your reclaimed space.
Wasps are more than just an annoyance—they can be aggressive, especially when they feel threatened. If you’re seeing more of them than usual around your home or business, it could be a sign that a nest is nearby. Here are five common signs you may have a wasp issue that needs attention.
One of the first things you might notice is more wasps flying around your property, particularly near entry points like windows, eaves, or rooflines. If you’re swatting them away more often than usual, they’re likely not just passing through.
Wasps can build nests in hidden places, including wall cavities, attics, and under roof tiles. If you hear a steady buzzing or faint scratching noise coming from within your walls or ceiling, that could be a sign that a colony is inside.
A clear sign of a wasp infestation is spotting a nest. These grayish, paper-like structures often hang from eaves, trees, or are tucked into tight corners of your home’s exterior. In some cases, nests are hidden inside wall voids or sheds.
Certain wasps, like paper wasps, use chewed wood fibers to build their nests. If you notice small holes in wooden fences, decking, or outdoor furniture, they may be collecting materials for construction.
Wasps can become aggressive when their space is disturbed. If pets or kids are getting stung outside, especially when playing near plants, decks, or sheds, it could mean there’s a nest nearby that needs to be addressed.
Wasps don’t wait around—and neither should you. The sooner a nest is located and removed, the better. At AP Pest Control, we help homeowners and businesses handle wasp issues efficiently. If any of these signs sound familiar, it’s a good time to reach out and get expert help.
Wasps Aren’t Just Angry Stingers
A lot of folks think wasps are mean creatures just waiting to sting, but that’s not the whole story. Yes, they’ll defend their nests if you bother them, but most wasps just go about their day without causing trouble. Some wasps help by keeping other insect populations in check.
There’s Way More Than Just Yellow Jackets
When you hear “wasp,” you probably picture the yellow jacket buzzing around picnics. But did you know there are over 30,000 different types of wasps? Some live alone, hunting tiny bugs by themselves, while others are social and build massive colonies with thousands of members. Every species has its habits and personality.
They Make Their Nests Out of Wood Pulp
Unlike bees, which use wax to build hives, wasps chew up wood fibers and mix them with their spit to create a papery nest. You’ll often find these nests tucked under roof eaves, in trees, or even hidden inside wall gaps. And as the colony grows, so does the nest—some can get surprisingly big by late summer.
Late Summer and Fall Are Their Busy Seasons
Wasps become more noticeable in the late summer months when their colonies peak and natural food gets scarce. That’s when they start hanging around your backyard barbecues, drawn to sweet drinks and meat—and yes, they can get a bit feistier at these times.
Watch Out — Their Stings Hurt and Can Be Dangerous
Because wasps inject venom, a wasp sting is undoubtedly painful. Some people may experience severe allergic responses, but most people only receive a red, swollen patch. Wasps are more dangerous if they feel threatened because they may sting more than once, unlike bees.
Conclusion
Wasps might seem like just annoying pests, but they actually have fascinating behaviors and play important roles in the ecosystem. If you notice a lot of wasps around your home or spot a nest, it’s usually best to get a professional involved before things get out of hand.
