Common Stinging Insects in North Florida
Our region is home to several species that become aggressive when their nests are disturbed.
Common types found regionally include:
Paper Wasps: Known for their umbrella-shaped paper nests typically found under eaves, porch ceilings, and in attics. They will sting if you get too close to their nests.
Yellow Jackets: Highly aggressive social wasps that often nest in the ground, wall voids, or dense shrubbery. They are protective of their colony and can sting multiple times.
Bald-Faced Hornets: Actually a type of yellow jacket, they build large, enclosed, football-shaped paper nests usually high up in trees or on structures. They are extremely defensive.
Bees (Honeybees & Bumblebees): While vital for pollination, they sometimes build hives inside structural voids (walls, chimneys). We handle removal or refer you to a local professional for live relocation when possible.
Fire Ants: Found in mounds in lawns and landscapes, these ants deliver a painful, stinging bite that can cause red bumps and pustules.

Why Stinging Insect Control is Essential
Beyond the obvious threat of painful stings, professional control of stinging insects is vital for several reasons:
Health and Safety: Stings can cause severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) in sensitive individuals, which can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.
Property Protection: Some insects, like carpenter bees, can cause structural damage to wooden decks, siding, and eaves over time by boring tunnels into the wood.
Peace of Mind: Eliminating nests ensures your family, pets, and guests can safely enjoy your yard and home without fear of accidental encounters or swarming insects.
