Basic tips when dealing with stinging insects:
- Don't block the entrance to the nest. They will find a new entrance and possibly move the hive, making the problem more difficult to solve.
- Don't spray the nest or the entrance. They may swarm and multiple stings can be inflicted in a very short time.
- Don't ignore the problem. Once the pests establish a hive, they will continue to grow the colony, expand the hive, and cause damage to the structure.

Common Stinging Insects In Our Area
What's Bugging You?
Carpenter Bee
Carpenter bees are traditionally considered solitary bees. Carpenter bees make nests by tunneling into wood vibrating their bodies as they move their mandibles against the wood. Each nest has a single entrance which may have many adjacent tunnels.
Male carpenter bees are harmless, since they do not have a stinger. Female carpenter bees are capable of stinging, but they are docile and rarely sting unless caught or directly provoked.
Yellow Jacket Wasp
Yellow jackets are the most common wasp found in the eastern United States. Easily identified by their bright yellow and black stripes on their abdomen, yellow jackets are prolific hunters and nest builders. Sometimes yellow jackets are confused with Hornets because of their colors but Hornets have much larger heads and most hornets in our area are black and white.
These wasps do not pollinate but benefit the ecosystem by controlling smaller insect populations that damage crops and food items.
Bald-Faced Hornet
Bald-faced hornets get their name from the fact that they are almost completely black except for white color patterns on their face and body. Bald-faced hornets are actually a relative of yellow jackets and paper wasps. They are both beneficial and predatory in nature, assisting with controlling other pest populations.
Bald-faced hornets are aggressive and will sting when threatened. Their stinger is venomous and should be removed carefully.

Additionally, these pests can become aggressive when their nests are disturbed, increasing the risk of multiple stings.

What are yellow jacket wasps?
Yellow jackets are the most common WASP found in the eastern United States; they’re not actually bees. Easily identified by their bright yellow and black stripes on their abdomen, yellow jackets are prolific hunters and nest builders. Sometimes yellow jackets are confused with Hornets because of their colors but Hornets have much larger heads and most hornets in our area are black and white striped (bald-faced hornet) or yellow and red/brown (European hornet) These wasps do not pollinate but benefit the ecosystem by controlling smaller insect populations that damage crops and food items.
Only the queen can survive the winter, living off of fat stores she built up during the summer and nesting in tree hollows, spaces in the ground, etc. Queens emerge in early spring (sometimes by accident on a warm winter day) and search for a place to build a nest. Nesting sites might be at the top of a roof peak, behind window shutters, under a pool deck, etc (typically this is the German Yellow jacket) and even underground nests (typically the Eastern Yellow jacket).
Once the first group of eggs hatch, the queen will retire from nest building and only focus on egg laying. Populations can reach 3,000-5,000 by mid to late summer and nest size can easily triple within 2 weeks of ideal weather. All female yellow jackets can sting (repeatedly), often “marking” a person with a pheromone or chemical that will attract more yellow jackets to attack.
