Wasp removal for Nogales, where paper wasps build under eaves and tarantula hawks patrol the oak grassland surrounding the city.
Call (844) 924-1337Paper wasps in Nogales build their umbrella shaped nests wherever they find an overhang, porch roofs and patio covers throughout the city's neighborhoods most often. The city's closeness to the Coronado National Forest and the oak studded grassland to the north brings in the other stinging insect residents ask about, the tarantula hawk, which patrols that open grassland hunting the blooming plants it favors rather than bothering people.
That's worth repeating, since a tarantula hawk is known for delivering one of the sharpest, most painful stings of any insect around, even though the wasp itself is harmless to anyone who leaves it alone, and because Arizona has no established true hornet, it's almost always one of these two insects, not a hornet, that a Nogales resident is actually dealing with.

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.
