Eliminate Stinging Insects Now
Stinging Insects Become More Aggressive Over Time
Many homeowners underestimate how quickly stinging insects can become a serious problem. Wasp nests tend to start small in inconspicuous corners of your home, such as underneath roof eaves or in trees, until they balloon and host a colony of thousands of wasps.
A wasp nest can be a dangerous nuisance for homeowners, but devastating to investment property owners in Orlando trying to maintain a positive reputation.
Left untreated, stinging insect nests can expand rapidly, making removal more dangerous and increasing the chance of painful or repeated stings.
Without preventative professional control, your property may remain at risk all season long, even if a previous wasp nest was removed.
Professional Stinging Insect Control Provides Real Peace of Mind
Store-bought sprays and home remedies may kill a few visible insects, but they rarely solve the real problem. Stinging insects are highly territorial, and partial treatments often make them more aggressive.
Professional stinging insect control focuses on complete nest elimination, proper timing, and prevention.
Green Behr’s technicians identify the species, locate active nests, and apply targeted treatments that eliminate colonies quickly and safely. Our approach ensures insects don’t simply relocate or return weeks later.

FAQs
Stinging insects are a common concern for homeowners throughout Central Florida, especially during the warmer months when colonies are most active. Understanding how these insects behave, where they nest, and when they become dangerous can help you recognize problems early and take the right steps to protect your property and personal safety.
Stinging Insect Behavior FAQs
How do wasps behave and live in colonies?
Wasps are social insects that belong to the order Hymenoptera, and their behavior varies depending on the species. Many wasp species live in colonies with a hierarchical structure that includes a queen, worker wasps, and male drones. Workers forage for food, build nests, defend the colony, and care for developing larvae.
How do wasps build nests and defend them?
Wasps construct nests using materials such as mud, plant fibers, or wood pulp. Some build paper-like nests attached to structures or trees, while others create underground burrows. When a nest is disturbed, workers may swarm and sting to protect the colony, releasing alarm pheromones that signal other wasps to join the defense.
Why are wasps aggressive and when are they most active?
Wasps aggressively defend their territory and can sting multiple times, injecting venom that may be painful or dangerous. They are most active during warmer months when food is abundant. In colder regions, colonies die off during winter, with only new queens surviving to start colonies in spring.
Wasp Infestation Warning Signs FAQs
What are the most common signs of a wasp infestation?
Frequent wasp sightings in the same area, visible nests under eaves or in trees, buzzing sounds, increased daytime activity, and the presence of worker wasps foraging or maintaining nests may indicate an infestation.
Where are wasp nests typically found around a property?
Wasp nests can be found under roof eaves, in tree branches, inside wall voids, underground, or near outdoor structures. Chewed wood or paper-like nest material scattered around a property can also signal nest construction.
How can wasp behavior indicate a nearby nest?
Aggressive guarding behavior, such as wasps flying in circular patterns, visible larvae inside nest cells, increased pest activity, or multiple wasp stings around your property, can all indicate a nearby or growing nest.
Wasp Pest Control & Safety FAQs
Is it safe to remove a wasp nest yourself?
Wasp nests can be dangerous to handle. Attempting removal without proper knowledge or protective equipment can lead to swarming, repeated stings, and serious health risks.
What precautions should be taken when dealing with wasps?
It’s important to identify the wasp species, keep your distance, and avoid disturbing nests. Some homeowners attempt nighttime removal when wasps are less active, using protective clothing, but even then, risks remain.
When should professional pest control be used?
If a nest is large, difficult to access, or if you are unsure how to handle the situation, professional pest control is recommended. Professionals have the training, safety equipment, and experience to manage wasp infestations safely while minimizing risk.
