What Are The Different Types Of Stinging Insects?
Bees
Honey bee colonies are social insects found throughout the U.S., and their color can range from orangish brown to black. They have six legs, and their sting can be painful. Only go near a beehive or assist someone if you’re properly suited up, or you may also get stung.
Other types of bees include carpenter bees, Africanized bees, and bumblebees. Call a professional when you see a beehive on your property so we can help you properly remove them.
Wasps
A paper wasp or an umbrella wasp is another type of stinging insect that lives in small colonies. There are over 20 wasp species in North America alone, and they usually have long legs.
Signs of a wasp infestation include seeing wasps nearby or piles of chewed wood. Like the bees, their sting can be painful (and even dangerous for people allergic to it). Seal cracks on doors and windows and make sure all food containers are covered to avoid attracting wasps.
Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets have black and yellow heads and patterned abdomens. They’re wasp-like, and their sting is known to be really painful. These pests are fiercely territorial so make sure you hire a professional bee removal company when you see a nest on your property.
Hornets
A hornet is another type of stinging insect. Getting rid of hornets on your own can be dangerous and risky especially when you don’t protect yourself. Although they’re not as aggressive as other insects, their sting can be difficult and even fatal. Contact the right pest removal company that offers effective hornet nest removal services.

What To Do If You Notice Hives or Nests
Beehives
Some types of bees can be aggressive and may chase intruders, leading to painful or potentially deadly stings. If you spot a beehive on your property, it’s important to keep your distance and avoid spraying insecticides, as bees are beneficial pollinators. Make sure to:
- Keep children and pets away from the hive, especially if it’s outside your home.
- Avoid blocking access points if you see bees inside; blocking their exit may cause them to spread to other parts of your home.
We recommend contacting our bee nest removal experts to effectively handle bees on your property. After removal, a thorough cleanup is necessary, as leftover honey can attract other pests.
Wasp Nests
If you notice wasps flying around your garden or home, it likely indicates a nearby nest, which can contain thousands of wasps during the summer months. Wasps are territorial and can be aggressive, so it’s crucial to know how to respond. Look for:
- A sudden increase in wasp activity.
- Chewed wood fibers, which can signal wasp activity.
When you suspect a wasp nest, try to locate the nest and determine its type. While you may think of removing it yourself, it’s safer to call professionals for wasp removal services. Our pest control team has the tools to handle the job safely, using techniques tailored to the type of wasp.
You can prevent future infestations by limiting food sources, such as fruits and sugary drinks, and by sealing any entry points around
Hornet Nests
Hornet nests are typically found near trees or bushes and are made of a paper-like material. It’s essential to be cautious around them, as hornet stings can be highly painful and dangerous for those who are allergic.
While you might be tempted to try removing a hornet’s nest yourself with insecticides, we strongly recommend calling a hornet nest removal professional to keep you safe and effectively resolve the issue.
