Why Are Stinging Insects a Serious Pest Problem?

Although some stinging insects play an important role in pollination and pest control, their presence near homes and businesses can be dangerous.

🩸 Painful Stings & Allergic Reactions

• Many wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets are highly aggressive when their nests are disturbed.
• Stings are painful, and for some individuals, can trigger life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis).
• Unlike bees, wasps and hornets can sting multiple times, making large infestations extremely hazardous.

🏠 Structural Damage & Nesting Risks

• Stinging insects build nests in walls, attics, eaves, and sheds, leading to property damage.
• Large beehives can seep honey into walls, attracting more insects and causing staining or rot.
• The weight of nests can weaken structures, chimneys, and roof overhangs.

🌳 Outdoor Activity Disruptions

• Hornets and wasps aggressively defend their nests, making backyards, patios, and outdoor areas unsafe.
• Nesting sites near pools, playgrounds, or entryways increase the risk of accidental encounters and stings.

If you’re seeing an excessive number of stinging insects near your home or business, professional removal is essential for safety and peace of mind.

Signs of a Stinging Insect Infestation

Since many species build nests in hidden locations, an infestation may go undetected until stings occur. Watch for these warning signs:

✅ Frequent insect activity near eaves, attics, decks, or garages.
✅ Visible nests on trees, walls, or under structures.
✅ Buzzing noises in walls or ceiling voids.
✅ Insects swarming around garbage cans, flowers, or food sources.
✅ Aggressive behavior when approaching certain areas of the property.

If stinging insects are present, Empire Pest & Wildlife can safely remove nests and prevent new infestations.

Common Stinging Insects in Michigan

Our pest control treatments target:

🐝 Honey Bees

• Important pollinators, but problematic when nesting in walls, chimneys, or attics.
• Unlike wasps, honey bees are non-aggressive unless provoked.
• For honey bee infestations, we work with local beekeepers to safely relocate colonies.

🐝 Bumble Bees

• Typically harmless, but can become aggressive if their nest is disturbed.
• Nest in underground burrows, wall voids, or abandoned rodent nests.

🦟 Yellow Jackets

• Highly aggressive wasps that often nest underground, in wall voids, or near decks and porches.
• Attracted to sugar, meats, and garbage, making picnics and outdoor dining unsafe.
• Unlike bees, they can sting multiple times and become extremely aggressive in late summer.

🦟 Paper Wasps

• Build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, porches, or tree branches.
• Less aggressive than hornets but will sting if their nest is threatened.

🦟 Bald-Faced Hornets

• Large, black-and-white hornets known for aggressive attacks.
• Build massive nests in trees, bushes, and along building exteriors.
• Stings are extremely painful and can cause severe swelling or allergic reactions.

If you have any of these stinging insects on your property, Empire Pest & Wildlife provides fast and effective removal services.
