Wasp and Hornet Control
Wasps and hornets can make spending time outside stressful and even hazardous. Their stings are painful, and in some cases, may cause dangerous allergic reactions. Outdoor areas that should be pleasant can quickly become off-limits.
Our approach starts with a comprehensive inspection, followed by precise treatments and the complete removal of nests. We also target the conditions that attract these insects, reducing the likelihood that they return.
With warmer weather in Orlando, these pests become more active. Professional stinging insect control helps maintain your property and restores your outdoor spaces for everyday enjoyment.
Wasps and Hornets You May Encounter in Orlando
Across Orlando, homeowners often encounter wasps and hornets, especially in the hotter months when they are most active. They usually gather near accessible food or covered areas. Among the species you’re likely to see are:
- Paper Wasps: Paper wasps have long, slender bodies with a narrow waist and distinct black-and-yellow markings. They build small, open, umbrella-shaped nests, commonly found under eaves, along ledges, or in trees. These wasps are usually non-aggressive but will defend their nest if threatened.
- Mud Daubers: Mud daubers are thin, dark-colored wasps with a very narrow waist. They create tube-like or clustered mud nests on walls, eaves, and other sheltered areas. Generally non-aggressive, these wasps tend to avoid humans whenever possible.
- Cicada Killer Wasps: Cicada killer wasps are large, solitary insects that dig burrows in sandy or loose soil. They capture cicadas to feed their developing larvae and are most active during warm weather. Despite their size, they rarely sting unless handled directly.
- Yellowjackets: Yellowjackets are small, fast-moving wasps with bright yellow bodies marked by black stripes. Known for their aggressive nature, especially near food or when their nests are disturbed, these wasps can sting multiple times, making them one of the more dangerous stinging insects.
- Bald-Faced Hornets: Bald-faced hornets are mostly black with bold white markings on their faces and bodies. They build large, enclosed paper nests often suspended from trees, shrubs, or structures. These hornets are highly protective of their nests and can sting multiple times if they feel threatened.
Comparing Common Stinging Insect Nests
Spotting stinging insect nests is an important step in managing infestations. A nest’s location often reveals the species responsible. Each insect constructs its nest with distinct materials and designs in characteristic locations. The following are some common nest types you may see:
- Bee Nests: Bees create nests from wax, forming structured hexagonal combs within protected cavities. These nests are built to support long-lasting colonies and may remain active throughout the year, even during colder months.
- Paper Wasp Nests: Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests using a paper-like material. These nests are commonly found under eaves or other sheltered areas, with exposed cells that make them easy to locate and identify.
- Yellowjacket Nests: Yellowjackets often construct nests in concealed areas such as underground burrows or inside wall cavities. Their nests feature small, hard-to-see entry points and can house large, very active colonies.
- Hornet Nests: Hornets form large, enclosed nests with a rounded, football-like shape made from paper-like material. These nests are typically found in trees or elevated locations and usually have a single entrance near the bottom.
