Stinging Insects questions from Barnstable County residents
We identify the species and nest type, then treat at the safest effective time using protective equipment. Hidden wall nests require different methods than exposed or ground nests.
Yellow jackets and bald-faced hornets can defend nests in large numbers and sting repeatedly.
Early inspections, sealing gaps, maintaining exposed wood, and securing food waste reduce activity, although no property can be made completely wasp-free.
Keep prescribed medication available, restrict access, and request professional treatment promptly. Never plug an active wall opening.
