Bee & Wasp control in Arizona
Bees and wasps in Arizona homes usually nest in wall and block voids where stucco has cracked, in irrigation boxes, under sheds, and in eaves near the roofline.
Bees and wasps can make their hives or nests in many locations in and around our homes. Bees send out scout bees to find places where a new colony can thrive, while wasps often build nests wherever a queen finds adequate shelter and access to food. Once a colony has found a suitable place to live, establishing a hive or nest can take just a few weeks. The most common areas we see hives and nests are void spaces where the stucco or block on a home is cracked or has a hole they can get into, as well as irrigation boxes. Other familiar places include under sheds, in attics, and eaves near the roofline. Both bees and wasps will aggressively defend their hive or nest and can be dangerous to humans and pets.
We inspect the activity and nesting location before recommending removal or control. The appropriate method depends on the insect and where the nest is established, with the goal of addressing the source instead of only the insects visible at the opening.
Phoenix field guide
Bees & Wasps: source to solution
A useful inspection follows the pest from the conditions that support it to the route that reaches the home.
- 01
Where it starts
Eaves, wall voids & shelters
Protected cavities around stucco, sheds and patio covers give colonies room to establish.
- 02
How it travels
One active opening
A steady flight path into the same crack or eave points to activity behind the surface.
- 03
What breaks the cycle
Identify first, then close
The insect and nest location determine the method; the opening is repaired after activity is addressed.
Prevention
Reduce Bee & Wasp Nesting Around Your Home
Inspect stucco cracks, damaged screens, attic vents, gaps at eaves and openings into block or wall voids, and repair them after any active nest has been addressed. Keep outdoor trash covered, clean up sugary spills, and check sheds, patio covers, grills and irrigation boxes regularly. Do not seal an opening while insects are actively using it; address the nest first, then close the entry point. If activity is concentrated at one opening or the insects become defensive, keep people and pets away and arrange an inspection.

Bees in Arizona: why a colony has to be taken seriously
Feral honey bee colonies are common across the Phoenix metro, and a colony in a wall is a different situation from a nest under an eave.
- A colony establishes quickly
- Scout bees look for a cavity, and once a swarm settles, a working hive can be established in a matter of weeks. The window between noticing bees and having a colony inside a structure is short.
- Where they get in
- Void spaces reached through cracked stucco, holes in block, weep holes, and gaps under sheds and eaves near the roofline. Any cavity with a small entrance and stable temperature is a candidate.
- Why this is not a DIY job
- Bees defend a hive aggressively and a colony in a wall cannot be resolved with a can of spray. Killing a colony in place without removing the comb also leaves honey and wax in the cavity, which then attracts other pests.
