When are wasps and hornets most dangerous?

These stinging insects become extra aggressive in late summer and early fall. This is when their colonies reach maximum size, sometimes thousands of insects in one nest! 

That’s why you’ll see more yellowjackets buzzing around your soda cans and picnic tables in August and September. They’re hungry, protective of their nests, and ready to sting multiple times if they feel threatened.

While they all have stingers, these insects behave very differently. 

  • Bees are usually fuzzy, gentle pollinators that only sting once before dying. They want to be left alone to make honey. 
  • Wasps are smooth, aggressive hunters that can sting over and over. 
  • Hornets are actually large wasps, they’re the biggest and often the most aggressive of the bunch. Yellowjackets are small wasps that love sugary foods and build huge underground colonies. 

The main thing to remember: bees are helpful friends, but wasps and hornets near your home need professional removal.

We strongly recommend against DIY nest removal. Store-bought sprays only kill insects they directly hit, missing hidden colony members that will rebuild. Plus, getting close enough to spray means angry insects can attack before you escape. 

Our technicians wear protective gear and use professional-grade treatments that eliminate the entire colony safely. We also know how to reach nests in tricky spots like inside walls or underground without putting anyone at risk.

Our treatment plan removes current nests and helps prevent new ones, and our prevention strategies make your property much less attractive for nest building. We’ll also schedule follow-up visits to check for new activity and treat any spots we missed.
