Common Stinging Pests
Identifying the pest correctly is the first step toward safe and successful treatment. Our experts are trained to distinguish between species that often look alike but require very different approaches.
Hornets
Aggressive and highly territorial, hornets often build large paper nests in trees, under eaves, or in wall voids. Their sting is painful and can be dangerous in large numbers.

Wasps
Paper wasps and mud daubers are common in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. They frequently nest under decks, in gutters, or within outdoor structures. Wasps can sting multiple times and often become aggressive when disturbed.

Yellow Jackets
These highly aggressive pests typically build nests in the ground, in wall voids, or behind siding. Yellow jackets are notorious for stinging repeatedly when they feel threatened and are a major concern for outdoor gatherings.

Carpenter Bees
While they rarely sting, carpenter bees cause damage by boring into untreated wood—commonly decks, fences, soffits, and siding. Over time, this can weaken structures and attract woodpeckers, compounding the damage.

Cicada Killers
Although intimidating in size, these solitary wasps are mostly harmless to humans but may cause alarm due to their burrowing activity in lawns and gardens.

Signs You May Have a Nest Nearby
- Unusual insect activity around your home’s roofline, deck, or soffits
- A steady stream of bees or wasps entering a hole or crack in your siding
- Audible buzzing sounds in walls or attics
- Small piles of sawdust (carpenter bees)
- Sudden appearance of flying insects during outdoor meals or gatherings
If you suspect a nest, do not attempt to treat it yourself. Over-the-counter sprays can make the situation worse and provoke aggressive behavior.
