What Happens When You Put Off a Stinging Insect Problem
A single wasp or bee flying around your yard might not seem like a big deal, but a nest that's left alone for even a few weeks can grow into a serious threat to your home and family. In Tennessee, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, and bees are active from early spring well into fall — and they don't slow down on their own.
The Real Risks of Ignoring Bees and Wasps on Your Property
When a stinging insect colony takes hold on or around your home, the risks go beyond the occasional sting. Allergic reactions to bee and wasp stings send over 500,000 people to emergency rooms in the U.S. every year, and for some family members, a single sting can become life-threatening. Beyond health concerns, carpenter bees bore into wood siding, eaves, and decks, causing real structural damage over time. Yellow jackets and hornets that feel threatened can swarm aggressively, turning a backyard cookout or a simple yard project into a dangerous situation fast. The longer you wait on the problem, the larger the colony gets — and the harder it is to deal with safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes, of course! Your safety is our top priority. We use products and application methods that are designed to be effective and produce results, while also being safe for humans, pets, and the environment when used as directed. Our technicians are trained to apply treatments with care and responsibility.
What should I do if I find a nest near my home?
Stay away from it and don’t try to spray or knock it down. Call a professional—some nests house thousands of aggressive insects.
Can you treat for stinging insects in walls or attics?
Yes. We have tools and techniques to safely locate and treat hidden nests, including those in soffits, vents, or behind siding.
Do carpenter bees sting?
Yes, but only female carpenter bees can sting, and they generally do so only if they feel threatened or provoked. Either way, we never recommend attempting to get rid of carpenter bees yourself; it's essential to have a professional address the problem as soon as possible.
How can I tell if I have a wasp or hornet problem?
Signs include frequent insect activity, visible nests under eaves, decks, or trees, and buzzing sounds from walls or attics. We can identify the species and the level of infestation.
Is it dangerous to try and remove a nest myself?
Yes! Many stinging insects are highly aggressive when their nest is disturbed. DIY removal can lead to serious injury—especially if you’re allergic or the nest is hidden.
