Stinging Insect Control in Syracuse, NY

Stinging insects can disrupt outdoor activities and pose health risks through their painful stings, which can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. While they aid in pollination and controlling other insect populations, they can become territorial once they establish a colony. They can be aggressive in defense of their nests, posing a risk to anyone nearby.

Types of Stinging Insects We Handle

• 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.

• Observe the nest's activity from a safe distance.
