Wasp Control in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Wasps are a common problem around homes and businesses in Albuquerque. They build nests under roof eaves, in attics, and in trees, and they can sting repeatedly if threatened. Because wasps are aggressive when defending their nests, DIY removal can be dangerous.
Manzano Pest Management provides professional wasp control and removal for homes and businesses throughout Albuquerque. Our approach focuses on safe nest removal and prevention. To learn more about our full wasp control process, visit our wasp removal page. For an overview of all our services in the city, see our pest control and wildlife removal in Albuquerque, New Mexico page.
Why Wasps Are a Problem in Albuquerque
The warm, dry climate in Albuquerque is ideal for wasps. They build nests in protected areas and become more aggressive in late summer and fall. Common species in the city include yellow jackets, paper wasps, and hornets.
Common Species in Albuquerque
Yellow jackets are aggressive and often nest in the ground, in wall voids, or under eaves. They are attracted to food and can sting repeatedly. Paper wasps build small, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and in trees. They are less aggressive than yellow jackets but will sting if threatened. Hornets are larger and build nests in trees, shrubs, and under eaves.
Why DIY Methods Often Fail
Store-bought sprays and DIY removal can make wasps more aggressive. If the nest is not fully removed, wasps will rebuild. Professional treatment uses protective equipment and targeted applications to remove the nest safely.

Prevention
After removal, we provide guidance on reducing conditions that attract wasps, such as sealing entry points and removing food sources.
