About

When stinging insects like wasps, bald face hornets, yellow jackets, or mud daubers become comfortable in our yards, they can make it difficult for people to enjoy their outdoor spaces safely. When stinging insects feel threatened, they protect themselves by stinging. The stings they deliver are not only painful but are venom-filled and can trigger severe allergic reactions in some people. 

Stinging insects are a common pest problem because our properties offer them their basic needs. Stinging insects build their nests in places that shelter them from predators and harsh weather. Our yard's trees, gardens, lawns, and the exterior of our homes offer multiple nesting sites. These insects also hang around our properties because of the ample food sources found in our outdoor eating areas, trash cans, recycling bins, gardens, and hummingbird feeders.

Use the following prevention tips to make your property less attractive to stinging insects. 

  • Remove fallen trees, tree stumps, and yard debris from your property that offers nesting sites.

  • Keep lids on recycling and trash bins.

  • Avoid planting excessive amounts of flowering plants near your home's exits and entrances.
