Wasps
Paper wasp nest removal and patio safety.
- Paper Wasps love the eaves of Phoenix homes and the underside of patio umbrellas. They are much more active and aggressive during our long, hot Arizona summers.
- Fun Fact: Wasps can recognize individual faces! They use facial patterns to tell friend from foe within their colony.
- Professional Treatment FAQs:
- Why shouldn’t I hit a wasp nest with a hose? This usually just agitates the colony. A pro can safely remove the nest and treat the area to prevent their return.
- When is the best time to treat a nest? Early morning or late evening when the entire colony is present on the nest.
- How do I distinguish wasps from bees? Wasps have smooth bodies and can sting multiple times, whereas honeybees are fuzzy and usually sting once.
