Stinging Insect Elimination

Depending on where you live, you probably have come into contact with insects that can sting at one time or another. The farther south you go, of course, the more varieties there are of stinging insects. Stinging insects include wasps, hornets, carpenter bees, and yellow jackets.

Why Stinging Insects Are Dangerous

While the sting itself from these insects is not all that painful, a serious problem can arise if you have an allergic reaction to the sting. For that reason, hornets and wasps can prove to be dangerous pests. Additionally, carpenter bees destroy wood too. They can be very destructive to your home.

Stinging Insect Control FAQ

How much does wasp and hornet removal cost in the Carolinas?

Costs depend on the type of stinging insect, the location and number of nests, and the size of your property. Diamond Pest Pro offers free estimates.

Are wasp stings dangerous?

While the sting itself is not usually all that painful, a serious problem can arise if you have an allergic reaction. For people with allergies, hornets and wasps can be very dangerous pests. Professional removal is the safest approach.

Do carpenter bees damage my home?

Yes. Carpenter bees bore holes into wood to create nesting galleries. Over time, they can be very destructive to decks, fascia boards, siding, and other wooden structures on your home.

Should I try to remove a wasp nest myself?

We strongly recommend against it. Disturbing an active nest can provoke aggressive behavior and multiple stings, which is especially dangerous for those with allergies. Professional treatment is the safest option.

Does Diamond Pest Pro remove yellow jacket nests?

Yes. We eliminate all types of stinging insects, including yellow jackets, which often nest in the ground and can be particularly aggressive when disturbed.

Does the 3 Zone Protection Plan cover stinging insects?

Yes. Our 3 Zone Protection Plan includes removal of spider webs, paper wasp nests, and mud dauber nests as part of the regular service, keeping stinging insects away from your home.

What types of stinging insects does Diamond Pest Pro treat?

We treat wasps, hornets, carpenter bees, yellow jackets, mud daubers, and other stinging insects found in North and South Carolina.
