Common Stinging Insects We Handle

Wasps

Wasps often build nests under eaves, in sheds, or in bushes. While they may seem calm from a distance, they can become highly aggressive when disturbed. A single nest can house hundreds of wasps, each capable of stinging multiple times.

Yellow Jackets

These highly aggressive stinging insects usually build nests in the ground or within wall voids. Yellow jackets are known for their painful stings and their tendency to attack in large numbers when threatened. Disturbing a nest—intentionally or not—can lead to a dangerous swarm.

Mud Daubers

Unlike other wasps, mud daubers are typically solitary and less aggressive. However, they often build their nests on the exterior of homes, garages, or under decks. While less of a direct threat, their presence can be unsightly and lead to future infestations by more aggressive species.

Bees

While some bee species play an important ecological role, they can become dangerous when nesting too close to your home. Removing bee colonies—especially honey bees—should be done by trained professionals to avoid harm and to follow best practices for ethical removal when possible.

Why Professional Removal Is Critical

Attempting to remove a wasp or bee nest on your own can be extremely dangerous. Many of these insects are territorial and aggressive, particularly during the warmer months when populations are at their peak. At West Florida Termite & Pest Control, we use proven methods and safety protocols to eliminate nests and reduce the chance of re-infestation—without putting your family at risk.

We also inspect for hidden nests and recommend long-term prevention strategies, so you don’t have to worry about them coming back.
