Common Types of Stinging Insects in Syracuse

• Wasps are often found around homes, constructing their nests in eaves, behind sidings, or in the ground. They can become aggressive and can sting multiple times.
• Yellow jackets commonly build nests in soil cavities, wall voids, or in the eaves of buildings. They can be troublesome at grills and patios, as they are attracted to proteins and sweets.
• Hornets can be very protective of their nests and have a more painful sting than other wasps due to the larger amount of venom they inject.
• Bees like honeybees are less aggressive and will only sting as a last resort since they die after stinging, but a hive can release many bees in defense.
• Carpenter bees are solitary, boring into wood to create nests, which can cause structural damage over time.

Understanding these insect types is crucial not only in addressing immediate dangers but also in formulating preventive strategies. Each species has specific behavioral patterns that our team takes into account when developing a control plan. For instance, the knowledge of where these insects prefer to build nests informs our inspection and treatment process.

Steps to Take if You Find a Stinging Insect Nest

Coming across an active stinging insect nest on your property can be an alarming and dangerous situation.

Steps to take if you discover a nest are:

• Remain calm and slowly retreat from the nest.
• Avoid quick movements that could provoke the insects.
• Do not attempt to remove or disturb the nest yourself.
• Observe the nest's activity from a safe distance.
