Stinging Insect Control In Baltimore, MD

Yellow Jackets

Yellow jackets are known for their yellow and black coloration. They have segmented, hairless bodies, and distinct, thin waists. When at rest, their wings fold laterally against their bodies. Yellow jackets can be fiercely territorial, leading your family to get stung should they make a nest in your yard, or inside your home.

When the nest is in the ground, we can treat the nest and dig it out given that there are no obstructions like roots or hazards.

Pest Czar also treats yellow jacket problems in exterior siding or in the interior walls, primarily with dust and sprays that can be applied through the cracks where the yellow jackets are entering.

Removing the nest behind walls or siding may not always be possible, but Pest Czar will discuss the options and give recommendations while the technician is there for your treatment.

Cicada Killers and Honeybees

Cicada killers and honeybees are considered beneficial insects, so Pest Czar generally does not recommend treatment. If you have honeybees, please contact a local beekeeper or apiary who can safely relocate the hives.

Carpenter Bees

Carpenter bees are large in size and black in coloration, causing them to often be mistaken for bumble bees. However, carpenter bees have smooth shiny, black abdomens, unlike bumble bees, whose abdomens are yellow and hairy. The other main difference between the two is that while bumble bees are an important presence outside, carpenter bees are a wood-destroying pest that can severely damage your home, fence, shed, or deck if they get to it.
