Identifying Bee Hives and Wasp Nests on Your Property

Locating nests early, before colonies reach their peak size and aggression levels, can prevent dangerous encounters and make removal significantly easier. Different species build distinctive structures in predictable locations around your home and yard.

Call Good News Pest Solutions when you discover:

  • Paper wasp nests. These umbrella-shaped nests hang from a single stalk and feature exposed hexagonal cells. Look for them under eaves, porch ceilings, door frames, and inside grills or outdoor furniture.
  • Yellowjacket nests. Often built underground in abandoned rodent burrows or within wall voids, these enclosed nests can house thousands of aggressive wasps. Watch for multiple insects entering and exiting a single hole in the ground or exterior walls.
  • Bald-faced hornet nests. Large, gray, football-shaped structures attached to tree branches, shrubs, or building overhangs. These aerial nests can reach basketball size and contain hundreds of highly defensive hornets.
  • Honeybee hives. Established colonies create waxy comb structures inside wall cavities, attics, chimneys, or hollow trees. You'll notice consistent bee traffic at entry points and may hear buzzing sounds from within your walls.
  • Mud dauber nests. These solitary wasps build distinctive mud tubes on walls, under eaves, and in protected corners. While less aggressive than social wasps, their nests can accumulate over time if left untreated.
  • Carpenter bee holes. Rather than building traditional nests, carpenter bees bore perfectly round half-inch holes into wood siding, decks, and roof trim. Fresh sawdust below holes indicates active tunneling.

If you spot any of these signs, maintain a safe distance and avoid disturbing the nest. Even seemingly calm colonies can become aggressive when threatened, and DIY removal attempts often result in multiple stings and incomplete elimination, which allows the colony to rebuild.

Understanding Stinging Insect Allergies

For most people, bee and wasp stings cause temporary pain, swelling, and discomfort that resolves within hours. However, approximately 5-7% of the population experiences severe allergic reactions that can become life-threatening without immediate medical intervention. Honeybees, yellowjackets, paper wasps, and bald-faced hornets all inject venom that contains proteins capable of triggering allergic responses ranging from mild to severe.

Common allergic symptoms include excessive swelling that spreads far beyond the sting site, hives appearing across the body, difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapid pulse, dizziness, and nausea. In extreme cases, anaphylaxis can develop within minutes, causing airway constriction, dangerous blood pressure drops, and loss of consciousness. Individuals with known allergies typically carry epinephrine auto-injectors, but many people discover their sensitivity only after being stung.

Children and elderly individuals face heightened risks due to smaller body mass and potentially compromised immune systems. Even those without diagnosed allergies can experience dangerous reactions if stung multiple times, as venom quantity overwhelms the body's defenses. This makes professional nest removal essential for properties where stinging insects have established colonies near living areas. Our team at Good News Pest Solutions uses protective equipment and proven techniques that can eliminate nests while minimizing risk to everyone on your property.
