You know what’s worse than finding out you’ve got wasps or hornets building a summer condo on your house?
Trying to remove it yourself.
Trust us — we’ve seen it all. We’ve also seen people try to handle it themselves with nothing but a can of bug spray, a garden hose, and a questionable amount of bravery.
Spoiler Alert: It rarely ends well.
Meet The Buzzing Nightmare Squad:
Paper Nest Wasps
- Yes, they build their nests out of “paper.”
- No, they didn’t borrow your printer.
- They chew wood, spit it out, and craft tiny gray murder-castles.
White-Faced Wasps
- Black and white.
- Big attitude.
- Think wasp, but dressed for a black-tie sting gala.
Yellow Jackets
- Nature’s angry little linebackers.
- Love soda cans, BBQs, and ruining your outdoor fun.
- Oh, and they live in the ground and in your walls. Fun!
European Hornets
- Huge. Loud. Intimidating.
- Will absolutely stare you down like they pay the mortgage.
Oh, But Wait… There’s More!
Honeybees
- The polite pollinators.
- We love them. We save them. (Don’t spray them!)
Carpenter Bees
- Basically bee-sized power tools.
- Drill holes in your deck like tiny flying contractors.
Bumblebees
- Fuzzy. Chunky. Surprisingly defensive if messed with.
- Their nests? Weird, lumpy, and usually underground.
Think You Can Handle It Yourself?
Think Again.
Sure, YouTube makes everything look easy. But here’s the reality check:
→ These nests can hold thousands of stingers.
→ Some of these bugs eat through drywall.
→ A few stings? Painful.
→ A swarm attack? That’s your personal horror movie.
Real talk: In the Northeast, as the weather warms up, these little buzz-saws get aggressive. Fast movements, loud noises, or even breathing wrong near their nest could send them into full Avengers Assemble mode.
And trust us — they do not fight fair.
Some of Our Favorite Jobs (a.k.a. Things You Should Absolutely Never Try at Home)
- Removed a European Hornet nest the size of a basketball from a dead tree.
- Yanked a White-Faced Wasp nest off the side of a house (with them watching).
- Crawled into an attic to remove a Yellow Jacket nest (still having nightmares).
- Dissected a Bumblebee nest just to see what’s inside (spoiler: weird stuff).
Oh, and we’ve also seen:
- Nests bigger than a beach ball.
- Nests inside walls, ceilings, attics, sheds, grills, birdhouses, cars… yes, cars.
- And way too many homeowners running away screaming mid-DIY attempt.
The Bottom Line?
Stinging Insects Are:
- Not forgiving.
- Not friendly.
- Not impressed by your $7 can of spray from the hardware store.
