Stinging Insects Pest Control Services

Warmer weather means more time outside, and a greater chance of encountering stinging insects like wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets. When temperatures rise above 75 degrees, insects become more active, and in some instances more aggressive. Your local Mosquito Joe® offers protection against stinging insects so you and your family can enjoy the outdoors.

Types of Stinging Insects We Control

If you happen to come across a stinging insect nest, don’t remove it on your own; let the service professionals at your local Mosquito Joe remove it safely.

Wasps

There are many different species of wasps. And while many species are solitary, some social species of wasps, like the Yellow Jacket, live in large colonies. Yellow Jackets are the most common type of wasp you’ll encounter around your yard in the summer. They usually make their nest in hollow trees. However, if they find a way into your home, your attic provides a perfect habitat for them.

Yellow jackets have a short temper, so it doesn’t take much to put them on the attack. They won’t hesitate to sting you, especially if their nest is disturbed. Yellow Jackets can inflict painful stings. So it’s best to deal with them as soon as possible. Here are the types of wasps that are common in the US:

  • Great Black Wasps
  • European Hornet
  • Blue-winged Wasps
  • Southern Yellow Jackets
  • Bald-faced Hornets

If you find a hive or notice several stinging insects buzzing around your property frequently, contact one of our pros and request outdoor pest control services. We’ll take the necessary precautions to remove them from your property.

Are Stinging Insects Dangerous?

Stinging insects are dangerous because their stings can lead to health complications like allergic reactions and infections. Encountering a swarm of stinging insects can even prove fatal in some situations.
