Stinging Insects

Keep Your Family Safe from Stings

Stinging insects like bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets can not only turn any backyard into a stressful place, but they can also be dangerous to your health. These insects are especially active in the Mid-Atlantic region from May through September.

What may seem like a small nest can become a full colony, and treating it in early May or June is the best way to prevent it from becoming full-grown.

Common Signs of Sting Insects

You may be dealing with a nest if you notice the following:

A steady stream of insects flying to and fro in one area means there is a nest near your home or yard

Visible nests in trees, eaves, sheds, decks, or playground equipment

Aggressive insects around outdoor areas or near their nest

You’ve experienced multiple stings in a short period of time

Some species, like wasps, can nest underground, making them harder to spot.

Why Early Treatment Matters

Treating these pests in May or June is ideal because the colonies are still small and easier to remove. By mid-summer, populations grow significantly, which increases the risk of stings and makes nest removal more challenging.
