Africanized bee honesty
We assume every feral colony is Africanized, because in the Valley it nearly always is. We come equipped for that reality, you should never test it yourself.
Live removal when it's safe
When a colony can be removed alive safely, accessible, early-stage, manageable location, that's our preference. When it can't, we say so and eradicate for safety.
Nest sites, not just nests
We remove the nest and treat the spot, because paper wasps love to rebuild on the exact same eave next spring.
Paper wasps: the eave and block wall regulars
Knocking a nest down with a broom usually earns you stings and a rebuilt nest within days, because the wasps and the attractive site both remain. We treat the nest, remove it, and treat the surface so the survivors don't reboot construction.
Spring through early fall is rebuilding season. If the same eave gets a nest every year, recurring service keeps it from getting established at all.
Bees: why the Africanized reality changes everything
A fresh swarm clustered on a branch is usually docile, it has no home to defend yet, but docile is not safe, and swarms move into wall voids fast. Call us before it becomes a colony in your wall, which is a much bigger removal job involving comb, honey, and repair.
When safe live removal is possible we pursue it; when a colony threatens people or pets, eradication is the responsible call and we'll tell you why. Either way: keep everyone inside, don't swat, don't spray, and contact us.

Common questions
Are the bees in my yard Africanized?
Assume yes. Nearly all feral honey bee colonies in the Phoenix area are Africanized, and there's no way to tell by looking. That assumption should change your behavior: keep distance, keep pets in, and call a professional.
Can you remove bees without killing them?
When it can be done safely, typically fresh swarms or accessible early colonies, yes, and that's our preference. Established colonies in walls or near people often can't be safely relocated, and in those cases we're clear that eradication is the safe call.
What do I do if I find a wasp nest by my front door?
Use another entrance if you can and don't swat at the wasps, defense behavior escalates fast at the nest. Call us; entry-area nests are exactly what our same-day response exists for.
Will the wasps just rebuild after removal?
If you only knock the nest down, usually yes, same wasps, same attractive spot. We treat the nest, remove it, and treat the surface, which breaks the rebuild cycle. Recurring service catches new starts before they grow.
