Wasp removal for Globe, where paper wasps nest under porch eaves downtown and tarantula hawks patrol the desert scrub toward the forest edge.
Call (844) 924-1337Globe sits close enough to the Pinal Mountains and Tonto National Forest that residents regularly run into two stinging insects that look nothing alike once you know what to check for. Paper wasps favor the eaves and porches of the town's older buildings, some standing since the 1875 silver strike that gave Globe its name, while tarantula hawks work the blooming desert scrub out on the edges of town.
A genuinely native desert species, the tarantula hawk preys on tarantulas, not on people, though its sting routinely tops lists of the most painful stings in the insect kingdom. Because a porch nest downtown and a wasp seen patrolling scrubland aren't necessarily the same species, figuring out which is which comes before any attempt to deal with a nest.

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. That said, an empty-looking nest can sometimes house other pests, so if you're unsure whether it's truly inactive, it's worth asking a provider before handling it yourself.
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. An independent provider can identify the species and nest location and handle removal safely.
