Stinging Insect FAQs
Are wasps and hornets dangerous?
Yes. Their stings can be painful and, for some individuals, cause severe allergic reactions. Multiple stings can be dangerous even without allergies.
Can I remove a nest myself?
It’s strongly discouraged. Disturbing a nest can cause hundreds of insects to swarm. Holper’s uses professional protective equipment and safe removal techniques.
When is stinging insect season in Springfield?
Typically from April through September, with the highest activity in July and August.
What’s the difference between bees and wasps?
Bees are beneficial pollinators with barbed stingers that die after stinging. Wasps and hornets are more aggressive and can sting multiple times.
