Wasp removal for Somerton, where paper wasps nest in farm equipment sheds and tarantula hawks patrol the desert bordering the Cocopah Indian Reservation.
Call (844) 924-1337Somerton's fields of lettuce and celery come with their own wasp pressure. Paper wasps favor the equipment sheds and outbuildings scattered across those operations, along with the eaves and patio covers of homes in town, building the same umbrella shaped nests the species is known for everywhere. Tarantula hawks take a different route, patrolling the open desert edge bordering Cocopah Indian Reservation land rather than settling on any structure.
Arizona has no true hornet species, which is part of why these two very different wasps end up getting mixed up so often here. Tarantula hawks hunt tarantulas, not people, and a sting from one is widely counted among the more painful an insect can deliver, so figuring out which wasp actually built a nest matters before anyone near a field building tries to deal with it directly.

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.
