What Are Stinging Insects?
There are a variety of stinging insects found here in Delaware and the surrounding states. The most common include wasps, yellow jackets, mud daubers, and carpenter bees. These insects all belong to the order of Hymenoptera. They are known for their beneficial contributions to the environment, as well as their painful stings. Depending on their exact species, some stinging insects such as yellow jackets will nest underground. Others such as mud daubers and wasps will construct their nests higher up in trees or even on the exterior of homes and other buildings. However, carpenter bees are an exception and actually create their nests by burrowing into wood.
Are stinging insects dangerous?
Stinging insects, especially those that can sting multiple times in a row like yellow jackets, wasps, and mud daubers, can definitely be dangerous. It’s important to be cautious when dealing with these pests on your property. These stinging insects can become aggressive and attack in large numbers when threatened and often result in many painful stings. In addition, individuals who are allergic to the venom that these pests inject are particularly at risk and may suffer potentially fatal anaphylactic shock if stung.
Why do I have stinging insect problems?
Stinging insects are generally drawn to properties by food sources, whether that be sugary drinks, forgotten food scraps from a backyard barbecue, or even the flowers growing in your garden or yard. Additionally, certain stinging insects such as carpenter bees are drawn to properties for their softwood which they can bore into in order to create their nests. Once on your property, these pests take advantage of food sources your yard provides and can nest on your property.
Where are stinging insects commonly found?
Where stinging insects nest depends on the species. Some build their nests in eaves, under porches, on decks, inside garages and sheds, and in attics. Others build nests primarily underground. As previously mentioned, carpenter bees build their nests throughout the soft wood of walls, ceilings, and other areas with structural wood.
