we can help

signs you may have a problem with stinging insects

Different stinging insects behave differently, but most show similar warning signs. If insects are stinging or chasing people, avoid the area and call for professional help immediately.

  • Visible nests under eaves, in bushes, attics, sheds, or on porches
  • Increased activity—multiple wasps or hornets circling the same area
  • Buzzing or scraping sounds inside walls (common with carpenter bees)
  • Ground-level holes with wasps entering/exiting (often yellow jackets)
  • Aggressive behavior near outdoor spaces
  • Wood damage or small round holes (carpenter bees nesting in fascia)

why homeowners choose precision pest management

DIY sprays and store-bought traps rarely eliminate the colony—and often make stinging insects more aggressive.

Professional removal is safer and more effective because we:

  • Eliminate the nest at the source, not just the visible insects
  • Prevent re-nesting in the same area
  • Treat the entire colony, including queens and larvae
  • Use protective equipment and safe application methods
  • Address structural or wood damage caused by carpenter bees
  • Identify species correctly (critical for choosing the right treatment method)

types of stinging insects we remove

types of stinging insects we remove

Yellow Jackets

Highly aggressive stinging insects that nest underground, in wall voids, or in shrubs; responsible for most sting-related ER visits.

Bald-Faced Hornets

Large black-and-white hornets that build football-shaped aerial nests; extremely defensive and can attack in groups.

paper wasps

Build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and structures; less aggressive but still sting when threatened.

carpenter bees

Drill holes in wood to create nests; often return to the same structures year after year, causing cumulative damage.

European Hornets

Large hornets that nest in hollow trees, attics, or wall voids; attracted to outdoor lights and can be aggressive.

Ground Bees / Wasps

Often mistaken for honey bees but can include aggressive yellow jackets; nests are often hidden until disturbed.

Yes, yellow jackets are highly aggressive, can sting repeatedly, and often attack in groups. If you see them entering the ground or structure, keep your distance and call for professional removal.

Yes. We treat carpenter bee holes, remove larvae, and apply wood-safe treatments to prevent repeat nesting.

Carpenter bees can cause wood damage over time. Yellow jackets and hornets can also enter attic or wall spaces, which may require additional home services to remove nests or seal entry points.
