Just being able to not only know the situation wasn’t as bad as initially thought was a great relief. Not everyday you have to deal with burrowing yellowjackets but now I feel that it’s initially taken care of but I know how to handle it next time with their knowledge and experience.

Cliff was punctual, professional, and efficient. He identified what I thought was a rodent issue in my porch recessed light as bat droppings. He was thorough and I would recommend his expertise (and that of BusyBee) to anyone. Thank you Cliff!

We came home after being gone all summer and found large wasps nests at our home. Our technician came out and did a thorough job of checking the entire property and home and found more than what we thought we had. He went above and beyond and removed everything. So glad I called Busy Bee. Highly recommend!

Signs You Need Wasp Removal in Mesa

In Mesa the calls split by neighborhood. On the east side (Las Sendas, Red Mountain Ranch, Eastmark) it is paper wasps under tile eaves and patio covers. In central and west Mesa, where many lots are still flood irrigated, it is yellowjackets in valve boxes, block-wall caps and the damp ground under mature citrus.

Call when you see any of these:

  • Wasps using the same gap in a tile eave, vent or wall cap all day long
  • An open grey comb under a patio cover, a pergola or the eave over the garage
  • Traffic in and out of an irrigation valve box or a water meter box
  • Yellowjackets working low over the lawn after an irrigation cycle, or vanishing into a hole in the turf
  • Wasps at the pool deck, along the citrus drip line or over the play set
  • A sting or two while pruning citrus, opening a gate or moving patio furniture

A nest inside a tile eave, a wall cap or a valve box is out of reach of a hardware-store spray. The colony is behind the opening, and the treatment has to go where the colony is.

Red Paper Wasp Nest Under Eaves. Common in Mesa Homes

Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests under patio covers, soffits, and roof overhangs.

Yellow Paper Wasps Guarding an Active Nest

Paper wasps defend exposed nests and may sting repeatedly if disturbed near doors, patios, or walkways.

Mud Daubers (Often Confused With Wasps)

Mud daubers build tube-shaped clay nests and are typically less aggressive than paper wasps or yellowjackets.

Our Mesa Office on Broadway Road

Mesa wasp calls are handled from our East Valley office at 1320 E Broadway Rd #107, Mesa, AZ 85204.

The same crews run bee removal in Mesa and rodent control in Mesa, so one truck can take the wasp nest on the patio and the bees in the block wall on the same visit. Most Mesa addresses get a one-hour arrival window, and we answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

From Broadway Road the crews cover all of Mesa, including Dobson Ranch, Las Sendas, Red Mountain Ranch, Eastmark and Downtown Mesa (zip codes 85201 to 85212), and continue into Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Queen Creek, Apache Junction and San Tan Valley.

Why Mesa Homeowners Choose Busy Bee

  • A Mesa office, not a Phoenix truck. Crews start the day on Broadway Road, which is how most Mesa calls get a one-hour window.
  • Void treatment as standard. Tile eaves, wall caps and valve boxes are treated at the colony, not sprayed at the opening.
  • One visit for wasps and bees. The same licensed technicians handle both, and Mesa gets plenty of both.
  • No contract required. You are paying to solve a nest, not signing up for a route.
  • 1,800+ five-star reviews across the Valley, including Mesa jobs.

Where Wasps Nest in Mesa: Tile Eaves, Flood-Irrigated Lots and Block-Wall Caps

Mesa has the largest and oldest housing stock in the East Valley, and the wasp calls follow the building age and the water.

Central and west Mesa: flood irrigation and citrus

Inside Country Club and Broadway most lots were built between the 1950s and 1970s, and a good share still flood irrigate. Standing water on a schedule, mature citrus and deep shade keep yellowjackets fed and cool through July. The nests sit in irrigation valve boxes, under the lids of water meter boxes, in the hollow caps of the block walls along the alley and in the ground under a citrus canopy. We lift the lids, treat the colony where it lives and screen the box before we leave.

East Mesa: tile eaves and patio covers

Las Sendas, Red Mountain Ranch, Eastmark and the neighborhoods toward Usery Mountain are newer, with concrete tile roofs and long patio covers. Paper wasps hang open combs under the first course of tile at the eave, inside the ends of patio-cover beams and behind stucco pop-outs. Because those homes back onto open desert, the queens arrive early, usually in the first warm week of March.

Block walls, alleys and canal banks

Mesa block fencing runs for miles, and every hollow cap and expansion gap is a nest site with shade on one side and irrigation on the other. The canals and laterals that cross the city add year-round water. If wasps are entering the same cap or gap on a wall, there is a colony inside the block, and knocking down the wasps you can see does nothing for it.


Void nests are the Mesa job. Tile eaves, wall caps and valve boxes all put the colony behind an opening. We treat through the opening, remove what can be reached and screen or seal the entry so the same spot does not fill again next spring. For the early signs, read how to tell if wasps are building a nest; for the species, our yellow paper wasp guide.

Quick Mesa Wasp Removal Answers

How fast can you remove a wasp nest in Mesa?
Most Mesa addresses get a one-hour arrival window from our Broadway Road office. An exposed paper wasp nest on an eave or patio cover usually comes down on that first visit. A colony inside a tile eave, a wall cap or a valve box is treated the same day; the comb inside the void is removed where it can be reached, and the opening is screened or sealed.
Is the nest in my valve box paper wasps or yellowjackets?
Almost always yellowjackets. In flood-irrigated central and west Mesa the boxes stay damp and shaded, which is exactly what a yellowjacket queen looks for in spring. Paper wasps build the open umbrella combs you see under eaves and patio covers. Yellowjackets are the more defensive of the two and will follow you across the yard, so leave the lid alone and call.
Can you treat a nest under my roof tiles without breaking tiles?
Yes. We treat through the eave opening the wasps are already using, so the tiles stay in place. Concrete tile roofs across East Mesa have an open cavity under the first course at the eave, and a paper wasp colony sits just inside it. Once the colony is dead we screen the eave so the next queen has nowhere to start.
Do wasps come back to the same spot in Mesa?
They come back to the same kind of spot, not the same colony. A wasp colony lives one season; the queens that survive winter start new nests in March, and a wall cap or patio beam that worked once will work again. Treating the nest and closing the gap is what stops the repeat. We also point out the two or three other spots on the house worth checking each spring.
What should I do while I wait for the technician?
Keep kids and pets away from the nest, skip the irrigation cycle if the nest is in a valve box or the lawn, and do not spray into a gap you cannot see into. Spraying a void nest agitates the colony and misses the comb. Note where the wasps are going in and out; that is the first thing the technician will ask.
How much does wasp removal cost in Mesa?
It depends on where the nest is. An exposed nest under a patio cover is a short visit; a colony inside a tile eave or a block wall takes longer because the void has to be treated and the entry screened. The inspection is free, and the price is set before any work starts.
