Wasp removal for Florence, where paper wasps nest under the eaves of century old downtown buildings and tarantula hawks patrol nearby open desert.
Call (844) 924-1337Florence's downtown dates back close to the town's founding in 1866, and its old porch overhangs, covered walkways, and building eaves give paper wasps no shortage of places to build undisturbed, sometimes for a whole season on structures that don't see much foot traffic. Head out toward the Gila River valley and the drier lots ringing town, though, and tarantula hawks become the more likely find, patrolling low over blooming desert plants.
As a genuinely native desert species, the tarantula hawk hunts tarantulas, not people, but its sting is often described as the single worst an insect can inflict in this hemisphere. Before anyone goes near a nest on one of Florence's older buildings, working out which of the two wasps is actually present is the step that matters.

It depends on the species and where the nest is located, but generally involves treating the nest directly with the right product and protective equipment, then removing it once activity has stopped. Because stinging insects can react defensively, this is usually safer left to a professional, especially for larger or hard-to-reach nests.
Most wasp colonies die off over winter, and an old nest is typically abandoned by the workers that built it. An empty-looking nest may still require assessment; if activity is uncertain, keep your distance and ask about inspection before disturbing it.
Paper wasp nests are often smaller and more exposed, commonly found under eaves or overhangs, but they can still sting if disturbed. Treating the nest directly and removing it once activity stops is the general approach, ideally handled by someone with proper protective equipment.
Locating the nest is the first step, since treating individual wasps without addressing the nest usually just means more show up. Species identification and nest location help determine the appropriate removal approach; avoid disturbing an active nest.
