Stinging Insects Control in New York and Connecticut

Removal and Prevention of Wasps, Yellow Jackets, and Bees

Stinging insects such as wasps, yellow jackets, and bees often find their way into homes and yards searching for shelter, food, and water. These insects build nests in attics, eaves, and outdoor spaces, using easily accessible resources. Wasps and yellow jackets, with their narrow waists and aggressive behavior, are particularly drawn to human activity, while bees are known for their essential role in pollination. 

Despite their ecological value, stinging insects can pose significant risks to homeowners, ranging from painful stings to severe allergic reactions. Professional pest control is essential for managing these risks safely and effectively. DIY solutions fail to address the root of the problem and can also negatively impact the environment. 

At Parkway Pest Services, we have been providing professional pest control since 1932, serving homes throughout New York and Connecticut. Our team prioritizes our customers’ safety, using effective methods to remove these pests and prevent future infestations.

Professional Stinging Insect Control Services

We provide tailored solutions for stinging insects to protect your home and loved ones. Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your property, inside and out, to identify the type of stinging insect and locate nests or hives. This evaluation allows us to understand the extent of the infestation and devise a plan for removal or extermination.

Removal or Extermination Methods

We use targeted treatment methods for aggressive species like wasps and yellow jackets to manage the pests without endangering your household. These insects are known for their defensive behavior when threatened, so our team applies treatments around the perimeter of your home and carefully removes nests to prevent any escalation in activity. 

When it comes to bees, especially honeybees, we prioritize targeted removal. Honeybees play a vital role in pollination, and we seek to relocate rather than exterminate whenever possible.

Our technicians are fully trained in stinging insect management, following strict safety protocols to minimize risks. These pests can be dangerous, and we take steps to protect your property and family from stings and allergic reactions.

Preventative Measures

In addition to our removal services, we offer a protection plan to prevent future infestations. We identify potential problem areas to make stinging insects less likely to return, giving you long-term peace of mind.

The Risks of Stinging Insects

Stinging insects, such as bees, wasps, and yellow jackets, are more than just a seasonal annoyance; they can pose threats to people and pets. These insects become particularly aggressive when they feel threatened, increasing the likelihood of painful stings and swarming behavior.

Painful Stings

Bees, wasps, and yellow jackets sting when they feel their nest or colony is at risk. Each sting delivers venom that can cause reactions ranging from mild discomfort to severe pain. 

One key difference between these insects is that while bees can only sting once, losing their stinger in the process, wasps and yellow jackets can sting multiple times without harm to themselves. This characteristic makes wasps and yellow jackets particularly dangerous, as they can attack persistently when agitated. For individuals encountering these insects, a single incident can result in multiple painful stings.

Allergic Responses

While many people experience only localized pain and swelling after a sting, others may suffer from more severe allergic reactions. Allergies to insect stings can vary in intensity, with symptoms ranging from hives and difficulty breathing to life-threatening anaphylaxis. 

Given the unpredictability of allergic responses, professional stinging insect control becomes essential to reduce exposure and protect vulnerable individuals.

Swarming Behavior

As stinging insect colonies grow throughout the summer, their behavior becomes more aggressive, particularly when their nests are disturbed. Late summer is a time of increased risk, as wasps, yellow jackets, and bees are more likely to swarm when threatened. 

Swarming occurs when multiple insects leave their nest simultaneously to defend against perceived threats, creating a dangerous situation for anyone nearby. This aggressive behavior amplifies the risk of multiple stings, which can be especially hazardous for people and pets enjoying outdoor activities during this period.
