Stinging Pests in Wisconsin

Since we have so many different kinds of stinging pests here in Wisconsin, the damage they can cause varies greatly. The biggest problem with carpenter bees is the holes the females drill. Carpenter bees make almost perfectly round holes in porches, garages, roof structures like eaves and soffits, and pretty much any wood structure. Those holes, over time, can weaken the structure. you and can and will sting multiple times. Multiple stings from yellow jackets are common because they’re sensitive to disturbance and aggressive in defense of their nests. Hornets are among the most dangerous of stinging insects because they can sting repeatedly. They may not be as aggressive as yellow jackets, but their venom is more toxic than other stinging pests. In someone allergic, it can cause severe swelling, rashes, even anaphylaxis. In severe cases, hornet stings can be fatal.

Most wasps in our area aren’t aggressive. They will sting if their wasp nest is being threatened, though. And since some wasps like to build their nests underground, you may not even know you’re disturbing it until you step on it. Wasps also enjoy building their nests in the under areas of playground equipment. That’s the last place you want to disturb them!
