Aggressive Stinging Pests You Shouldn't Handle Yourself

Wasps and yellowjackets can sting repeatedly without losing their stinger, making them far more dangerous than bees when their nests are disturbed. A single sting can trigger others to attack, causing dozens—or even hundreds—to swarm within seconds. While most stings are painful, they can become life-threatening for anyone with allergies, children, or pets.

These pests build nests in a wide variety of hidden locations, including wall cavities, attics, under eaves, behind shutters, inside grills, beneath decks, and underground burrows. Colonies grow rapidly throughout the season and can contain hundreds or even thousands of insects. The longer a nest remains, the larger and more dangerous it becomes.

Signs of a Wasp or Yellowjacket Nest

Frequent activity around your roofline, porch, deck, or yard is often the first warning sign. You may notice insects repeatedly flying to the same hole, crack, or opening, hear buzzing inside walls or attics, or discover paper-like nests under eaves. Yellowjackets commonly nest underground, so heavy traffic entering a small hole in the lawn is another strong indicator. If you're seeing stinging insects every day, it's time to call the professionals.

Angry stinging insects are never a good neighbor. One or two is not a problem, but normally when you see a couple, it is just the tip of the iceberg. If they are swarming around, they are most likely entering your home behind your siding to create a nest in your walls. By the end of the summer, the nests can number in the thousands and often begin to chew through the drywall to gain entrance into the interior of your home. If you hear a low-grade buzzing noise in your home or what seems like a scratching noise behind drywall, contact us right away. Wasp and yellowjacket nests are problematic for the average homeowner to address on their own. Contact our experts who have years of experience in neutralizing these harmful pests and removing the nests.

Our yellow jacket eradication is most successful because of the intensive approach that we use. There may still be a few bees that visit the area over the first week, but they will decrease until they are gone.

This all depends, if the nest is in an area that is not susceptible to loud activities or sounds (like children playing) or vibrations (like a lawnmower) you may be ok leaving it undisturbed. When in doubt, give us a call so we can help assess the situation for you.
