Stinging insects like bees and hornets send more than 500,000 people to the emergency room each year. These pests are especially active during the second half of the summer and early fall when the colonies forage for food that will sustain their queens during the winter. During every service our service pros will sweep down any wasp nest they find around your eaves.

• Yellow Jackets – There are several species of yellow jackets. These flying insects typically have a yellow and black head/face and patterned abdomen. Yellow jackets are known for being the most aggressive species of bees.
• Paper Wasp – Paper wasps get their common name from the paper-like material out of which they make their nests. Paper wasps are sometimes called umbrella wasps, after the shape of their distinctive nests.
• Carpenter Bees – Carpenter bees look like typical bumblebees but often lack yellow stripes. This type of stinging gets its common name from its habit of boring into wood like a carpenter.
• Bald Face Hornets – The bald-face hornet is a relative of the yellow jacket and gets its common name from its largely black color and mostly white face. This stinging insect is named a hornet because of its large size and aerial nest.
• Mud Daubers -This group of wasps gets its common name from the fact that they build their nests out of  mud. Mud Daubers are considered a nuisance but rarely sting anyone.
• Honey Bees – Honey bees are social insects found all over the world. They are beneficial insects because of their role in pollination. Honey bees pollinate more than 100 crops in the U.S.
