Understanding Fort Myers Stinging Insects
Stinging insects are a major concern in Southwest Florida, but not all are equally aggressive or dangerous. Identifying the pest is the first step toward effective control. Our climate is hospitable to several types, each requiring a different approach.
- Paper Wasps: Often build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, in attics, or behind shutters. They are territorial and will sting if their nest is threatened.
- Yellow Jackets: Highly aggressive, typically building large nests in the ground (like old rodent burrows) or in wall voids. They are a common threat at outdoor gatherings.
- Hornets: Include the bald-faced hornet, which builds large, gray, paper-like nests high in trees or on structures. They are aggressively protective of their colony.
- Carpenter Bees: Resemble large bumblebees but have a smooth, black abdomen. They are less aggressive but cause structural damage by drilling perfectly round holes in wood siding, decks, and fascia.
- Honey Bees: Vital pollinators that often swarm. Swarms may settle temporarily, but established colonies inside walls or attics require specialized, safe removal.
Understanding these differences is key to managing the specific risk they pose. Attempting to remove nests, especially those of yellow jackets or hornets, without professional training and protective gear can be extremely dangerous.

Our Approach to Bee & Wasp Control
At Security Termite & Pest Control, we prioritize safety and effectiveness. Our process for managing stinging insects is thorough and designed to protect your family and property, leveraging our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) training.
- Identification: We first identify the species (wasp, hornet, carpenter bee, etc.) and locate all nesting sites on your property.
- Strategic Treatment: Based on the pest, we select the most appropriate treatment. This often involves using specialized, family-friendly products to treat the nest directly.
- Nest Removal: After the colony is neutralized, we will safely remove accessible nests to prevent re-colonization and discourage scavenger pests.
- Carpenter Bee Solutions: For carpenter bees, our treatment focuses on the wood galleries they excavate, followed by preventative applications to treated areas.
- Exclusion & Prevention: We identify conditions attracting these pests and recommend exclusion techniques, such as sealing entry points or suggesting wood repairs.
As a local company serving the area since 1985, our licensed team at Security Termite & Pest Control knows how to handle Southwest Florida's toughest stinging pests. We focus on long-term solutions, not just temporary fixes.
