Common Stinging Insects in Indiana and Michigan

Wasps, Hornets & Yellow Jackets Handled Safely

A single stinging insect nest near your home or business is more than a nuisance. Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets can sting repeatedly when a nest is disturbed, and for anyone with a sting allergy, that’s a real safety risk, not just an inconvenience.

Termishield Termite and Pest Control handles stinging insect removal safely, so you don’t have to get anywhere near an active nest. Ready to have a bug free day? Call or Text the pros.

Yellow jackets are the most aggressive stinging pest in our region. They often nest underground or inside wall voids, and they become more aggressive and more visible in late summer and early fall as colonies reach their largest size.

Paper wasps build the umbrella shaped, open comb nests you’ll spot under eaves, porch ceilings, and railings. They’re generally less aggressive than yellow jackets, but they will defend a nest if it’s disturbed.

Bald faced hornets aren’t a true hornet at all, they’re actually a large, aggressive type of yellow jacket. They build the large, gray, football shaped paper nests you’ll see hanging in trees or on the sides of structures, and they’re especially active in late summer.

Carpenter bees don’t sting often, but the females drill near perfectly round holes into porches, eaves, and wood structures, which can cause real structural damage over time.

Our Stinging Pest Control Process

01

Identification

We confirm which species you’re dealing with, since treatment for an underground yellow jacket nest is very different from treatment for an aerial paper wasp nest.

02

Safe Removal

Our technicians treat and remove the nest using methods suited to that species and nest location, whether it’s underground, in a wall void, or hanging from a structure.

03

Prevention

We’ll flag the conditions that attracted the nest in the first place (open food sources, gaps in siding, undisturbed brush) and recommend a Shield Protection Program visit schedule to catch new activity before it becomes a full nest.

Guaranteed Stinging Pest Control in Indiana

Every job is backed by Termishield’s Satisfaction Guarantee. If stinging insects return, we do too.

Stinging insect activity in our service area follows a clear pattern. Colonies build through spring and early summer, then peak in late summer and early fall as food becomes scarcer and colonies reach their largest size, which is exactly when yellow jackets start showing up at cookouts, trash cans, and outdoor gatherings. If you’re seeing more activity in August or September, that’s normal for the season, not a sign the problem is getting worse on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets?

Nest location and shape are the easiest clues. Underground or wall void nests are typically yellow jackets, open umbrella shaped nests under eaves are usually paper wasps, and large enclosed gray nests in trees are usually bald faced hornets. Our technicians confirm on site before treating.
