Wasps and hornets build nests in a wide range of spots around a Fountain Hills property — eaves, attic vents, ground burrows, dense shrubs — often going unnoticed until activity picks up. Single-story and two-story stucco homes on slab foundations dominate, with irrigated or xeriscaped yards and block walls in place of basements.
Our process starts with correctly identifying the species, since honeybees, wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets all require different handling. Aggressive stinging insects like yellowjackets and hornets get direct nest treatment; honeybee colonies get relocated by a beekeeper whenever possible, since they're a protected and beneficial species.
