Why Choose Dependable Pest Solutions for Bee & Wasp Control

The Importance of Knowing the Different stinging insects

Not all stinging insects are the same. Some, like honeybees, play a vital role in pollinating crops and flowers. Others, like yellowjackets and paper wasps, can be aggressive and dangerous when disturbed. Misidentifying the nest type often leads to ineffective DIY efforts—or worse, painful stings.

That’s why our services begin with a thorough evaluation of your property. We inspect high-risk areas such as eaves, attics, wall voids, and yard structures. Once we determine whether you’re dealing with honeybees, carpenter bees, hornets, or wasps, we develop a solution that addresses both the immediate risk and long-term prevention.

Common Challenges Dover Residents Face with Stinging Insects

Dover’s seasonal changes create an ideal environment for various bee and wasp species. Warm summers, early springs, and moisture-heavy conditions increase the likelihood of swarming, nesting, and territory expansion.

Property owners across neighborhoods like Garrison Hill, Central Avenue, and Bellamy Park often see nests forming around deck railings, outdoor furniture, window frames, and inside crawl spaces. For businesses, these infestations may start small—one or two wasps scouting near an entrance—but quickly develop into safety hazards that affect both staff and customers.

We’ve helped homeowners and business owners throughout Dover handle infestations in playgrounds, HVAC units, tree hollows, and building soffits. No matter where the problem appears, we act fast and finish the job with care.

Our Bee and Wasp Control Process

We focus on safe, effective methods that account for the local environment and your specific situation. Here’s how our process works:

  • Site Assessment: We begin with a full inspection of your property, locating active nests, entry points, and conditions that may attract bees or wasps.
  • Species Identification: Our team accurately identifies the type of insect to determine the safest removal strategy.
  • Custom Treatment Plan: For bees, we often partner with local beekeepers or use live-capture tools to relocate colonies. For wasps and hornets, we use low-toxicity solutions that eliminate nests without putting pets or people at risk.
  • Prevention and Deterrence: Once the infestation is handled, we advise on sealing openings, modifying landscapes, and changing property features to discourage future nesting.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: If needed, we offer seasonal follow-ups to check common nesting spots and re-treat problem areas before nests can re-establish.

Our team always respects the role pollinators play in the ecosystem. While removal is essential for safety, we prioritize preservation whenever possible—especially when it comes to beneficial bees that serve agriculture and the natural world.

Keeping Stinging Insects From Taking Over Properties Is Vital

Dealing with an insect that can sting is typically a painful proposition. Stinging insects inject their victims with venom capable of triggering an allergic reaction. Stingers that don't get removed quickly can continue to pump venom and produce a more significant reaction than when stingers get swiftly removed. The severity of a reaction also depends on how allergic someone is to the venom. Most of the time, responses are mild, with some pain and swelling that goes down within a couple of hours. Those highly susceptible to bee venom can experience severe reactions, some of which could be life-threatening.

Threats from flying insects that sting can come at you from all directions. Some stinging insects make their homes underground, some inside homes (attics, crawl spaces, and behind walls), some on the sides of buildings, porches, and decks, and others in trees and shrubs. If there is an area that provides shelter from wind and rain, stinging insects will happily use almost any place to establish a nest. While most stinging insects are content to go about their everyday lives quietly, they will attack people with a vengeance when they perceive them as a threat to their nest.

Since encounters with stinging insects always leave people on the losing side, property owners must use a pest professional like Dependable Pest Solutions to quickly and effectively eliminate stinging insect threats from their property.
