The Science

Risks of Stinging Insects

Learn all about stinging pests
Painful stings icon

Painful Stings

When wasps, yellow jackets, bees, and hornets feel threatened, they're known to sting. The stings are painful and may cause a mild or severe reaction.

Property damage icon

Property Damage

Non-stinging carpenter bees will excavate tunnels to use as nests. They make themselves at home in decks, siding, porches, and eaves.

Allergic reaction icon

Allergic Reactions

Depending on the person and their allergies, they may develop mild to deadly allergic reactions to stinging insects after being stung.

Swams icon

Swarms

When stinging pests swarm, the result is a mass of flying pests that are ready to protect their home at all costs.

The Orkin Pro Process

The Orkin Pro Process

Inspect

We begin with a thorough inside‑and‑out inspection to locate wasp, yellow jacket, and hornet activity, identify nest sites, and assess any conditions that allow these stinging pests to thrive.

Diagnose

Using expert knowledge of stinging insect behavior, we determine the species involved and pinpoint the factors driving their presence, whether it’s nesting locations, structural gaps, or nearby attractants.

Protect

We apply targeted treatments, remove accessible nests, and use the safest methods available to help eliminate stinging pests while sealing entry points to prevent them from rebuilding.

Monitor

We continue to monitor key areas, such as eaves, garages, utility rooms, and outdoor structures, to detect new activity early and adjust treatments to keep stinging pests from returning.

Report

After each service, we provide a clear report detailing nest removal, treatments applied, and recommendations to help keep your home protected from stinging pests.
