Stinging pests are not only a painful nuisance they can cause other problems and should be treated by a professional exterminator as soon as possible. Stinging pests come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and species. The common denominator found with all of them is a stinger, but it can vary as widely as their body types, colors, and legs. Typical stinging pests are bees, hornets, scorpions, wasps, and yellow jackets.

If stinging pests are not treated appropriately, risk factors are certain to arise.

• Stings are not only painful, but many people are allergic causing a mild or severe, life-threatening reaction. It is best to keep them controlled around your home and away from loved ones.
• Although carpenter bees are non-stinging, they can and will cause property damage. They excavate tunnels to use as nests making themselves right at home in your porch, decks, siding, and eaves.

You may have noticed that one type of stinging pest not listed, is the honey bee. If you find that you have an infestation, a pest control professional will often recommend contacting a beekeeper to safely move the nest while preserving it and the honey bees. They play a crucial role in pollination and produce products such as honey, pollen, beeswax and propolis extract.
