Bee & Wasp Control in St. Cloud, FL
Although bees and wasps are crucial for our ecosystem in Central Florida, they can become a serious concern when they nest near your home or business. 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.
