Are you worried about stinging insects like bees, wasps, and hornets in your home or backyard? You're not alone. These pests can seriously threaten your health and safety, and their painful stings can send over half a million people to the emergency room each year. Here we'll discuss the types of stinging insects you may encounter in Ontario and Toronto and provide tips on preventing infestations and keeping your family safe.
Bald-faced hornets are a type of yellowjacket that are named after their black color and white face. They can be aggressive if their nest is disturbed and typically build their paper nests in trees, shrubs, or buildings.
Carpenter bees are known for their habit of boring into wood, which can cause damage to wooden structures. They resemble bumblebees but have a shiny, hairless abdomen. Carpenter bees can be seen buzzing around eaves, decks, and other wooden surfaces.
Paper wasps are named after the paper-like material they use to build their nests. They have a long, slender body and can range in color from brown to black. Paper wasps typically build their nests in sheltered areas like under eaves, behind shutters, or attics.
Yellowjackets are the most aggressive type of wasp and can sting repeatedly. They are smaller than hornets and have black and yellow stripes. Yellowjackets build their nests underground or in wall voids.
Stinging insects can enter your home through small cracks and openings. Seal off potential entry points, such as gaps around windows and doors, to prevent them from entering.
Stinging insects are attracted to sweet, sugary foods. Keep your outdoor eating areas clean and free of sugary drinks and food scraps.
Stinging insects often build their nests in trees and shrubs. Keep your vegetation trimmed and well-maintained to discourage nesting.
