Bee & Wasp Control in St. Cloud, FL

Carpenter bees, for example, are known for burrowing into wood, creating tunnels and galleries that can weaken the structure of your home over time. Additionally, various types of bees and wasps can become aggressive when threatened, causing them to sting people and pets. For some, stings can cause serious allergic reactions.

Common Bee & Wasp Species in Central Florida

Central Florida's warm climate supports a diverse population of stinging insects. While some are beneficial pollinators, others pose risks to your property and family. Here's what you need to know about the species that homeowners most commonly encounter.

Honey Bees

These have golden-brown bodies with fuzzy hair and distinctive black stripes. They’re typically ½ to ⅝ inch long.

Honey bees are valuable pollinators, but when they establish hives in wall voids, attics, or roof eaves, they can be problematic. A single colony can house tens of thousands of bees, and they can cause structural damage as the hive expands.

Plus, their honey attracts ants and other pests, which can lead to compounding pest problems.

Carpenter Bees

These are large, robust bees that look like bumble bees, but they have shiny, black abdomens instead of fuzzy ones. Carpenter bees are about ½ to 1 inch long.

Why are they a problem? Carpenter bees bore round holes into wood to create nesting tunnels. Over time, these insects can create extensive tunnel networks that weaken wooden structures. The holes also allow moisture infiltration, leading to rot and further deterioration.

Bumble Bees

Large, round, and fuzzy, these bees have distinctive black and yellow bands. They’re about ¾ to 1 inch long, and they make an unmistakable buzzing sound when flying around.

Bumble bees nest in protected ground locations, such as abandoned rodent burrows, compost piles, or thick grass. While excellent pollinators, their ground nests can be accidentally disturbed during lawn maintenance or outdoor activities, triggering defensive stings. Unlike honey bees, bumble bees can sting multiple times.

Paper Wasps

These have slender bodies with long legs that dangle during flight. They’re generally brown or reddish-brown with yellow markings and about ⅝ to ¾ inch long.

Paper wasps build exposed, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, porch ceilings, door frames, and outdoor furniture. They're commonly found near human activity areas, increasing the likelihood of accidental encounters. These wasps are territorial and may sting people or pets when they’re threatened. They can sting repeatedly.

Yellow Jackets

These have bright yellow and black striped bodies with a narrow waist. Yellow jackets are about ⅜ to ⅝ inch long.

These insects are highly aggressive and build nests in wall voids, attics, ground cavities, and landscaping. This means that yellow jackets pose risks of stinging, as well as property damage.

Bald-Faced Hornets

These are large wasps with black bodies and white facial markings. They’re about ⅝ to ¾ inch long, making them one of the largest stinging insects in Florida.

These hornets build large, football-sized paper nests in trees, shrubs, and sometimes under building overhangs. They're extremely aggressive when defending their nest and can sting multiple times. Bald-faced hornets have excellent vision and will chase perceived threats for considerable distances.

Cicada Killers

These are very large wasps (up to 2 inches long) with rusty-colored heads, black and yellow striped abdomens, and amber-tinted wings.

Despite their intimidating size, cicada killers are generally non-aggressive toward humans. However, they create extensive burrow systems in lawns, gardens, and sandy soil areas. This can damage turf and create unsightly patches in otherwise manicured landscapes.
