Stinging Insects
About
Bees and wasps are the most common stingings insects to invade our New York properties. When living outside, away from people, they are helpful pollinators, and predatory species help control insect populations. However, when they decide to nest or use our gardens as a place to forage, they become dangerous pests and need to be removed.
The biggest reason that stinging insects are a threat is because of the stingers they possess. While not all stinging insects are overly aggressive, stinging is their only means of defense. They deliver painful, venom-filled stings if they are in harm’s way or feel their nest is in danger. The more contact you and your family have with stinging insects, the more likely you will be stung.
Stinging insects are flying outdoor pests and are difficult to keep out of our yards. Partnering with a local pest control professional that knows the region and its common stinging insects is the best way to avoid issues with these pests. Regular pest control for bees and wasps will prevent them from establishing themselves on your property.
