Stinging Insects in Central Florida
Central Florida's warm climate supports a variety of stinging insects year-round. While most bees and wasps are beneficial to the environment, nests on or near your home or business pose a serious risk, especially for children, pets, and anyone with allergies.
Never attempt to remove an active nest yourself. Disturbing a nest without proper equipment and technique can trigger a defensive swarm. Pest Pro's technicians are trained to safely eliminate and remove nests with minimal risk.
Common Species We Handle
- Yellow Jackets. Aggressive, often nest in ground or wall voids. Sting repeatedly.
- Paper Wasps. Build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, porch ceilings, and railings.
- Mud Daubers. Build mud tube nests. Generally non-aggressive but unwanted.
- Bald-Faced Hornets. Large aerial nests, highly aggressive when disturbed.
- Carpenter Bees. Bore into wood structures, causing damage over time.
- Honey Bees. We treat established colonies; live honeybee removal/relocation is handled as needed.
