- Visible nests attached to structures, trees, or ground areas
- Insects entering and exiting wall voids or siding

Common Stinging Insects Found in Baltimore
Baltimore is home to several stinging insect species that pose varying risks.
Wasps
Common species include paper wasps, yellowjackets, and bald faced hornets, which are actually a type of wasp. Wasps are typically slender with black, brown, or red coloring and yellow markings. Many wasps can sting multiple times and become aggressive when their nests are disturbed.
Bees
Non honeybee species commonly found in Baltimore include bumblebees, carpenter bees, and sweat bees. Bumblebees are important pollinators and usually only sting when threatened. Carpenter bees bore holes into wood to create nesting tunnels, which can cause structural damage over time. Sweat bees are small but can sting if handled.
Hornets
The European hornet is the primary hornet species in the area. Hornets build large paper like nests and can be very defensive. Their stings are painful, and colonies can contain hundreds or thousands of members.
Why Stinging Insects Can Be Dangerous
Stinging insects pose serious risks, especially to children, pets, and individuals with allergies. Multiple stings can cause severe reactions, and a single sting can be life threatening for someone with an allergy.
Beyond physical danger, nests near homes or businesses restrict outdoor use and create ongoing stress. Carpenter bees can also damage wood structures over time, while aggressive wasps and hornets make routine activities unsafe.
Why DIY Stinging Insect Control Is Risky
Many homeowners attempt DIY solutions, but these approaches often increase danger.
- Soap and Water Sprays may kill on contact but require close proximity and often provoke the colony
- Peppermint and Natural Repellents require frequent application and are inconsistent across species
- Vinegar Traps catch a few insects but do not eliminate nests
- Smoke is a temporary deterrent and presents serious fire risks
- Sealing Nests can force insects into walls or living spaces
DIY attempts frequently lead to more aggressive behavior, multiple stings, and incomplete control.

Frequently Asked Questions on Stinging Insects
Are bees always exterminated?
Not always. Bees are important pollinators. When possible, we recommend responsible solutions based on species, location, and risk.
Why are wasps more aggressive than bees?
Wasps are territorial and can sting multiple times. They aggressively defend their nests, especially in late summer.
Can carpenter bees damage my home?
Yes. Carpenter bees bore into wood to nest, which can weaken structures if left untreated.
Why do they seem more aggressive at certain times of the year?
The aggression levels of wasps and bees can vary depending on the season. For instance, in late summer and early fall, wasp colonies reach their peak size. During this period, their typical food sources start to decline, which makes them more likely to invade human spaces in search of sustenance. Consequently, this increased interaction with humans can lead to them appearing more aggressive. Bees, especially when they feel their queen or hive is threatened, can also become more aggressive. It’s essential to be cautious and observant during these peak times.
I’ve noticed a clear liquid around areas where they hang out. What is it?
This liquid is often called “honeydew.” It’s not the honey we consume, but rather a sweet substance produced by certain pests like aphids. As these pests feed on plant sap, they excrete honeydew, which attracts wasps and bees. It’s essentially a free buffet for them. While honeydew itself isn’t harmful, its presence can indicate an underlying pest issue and increase the attraction of stinging insects to that area.
Are there specific plants or flowers I should avoid to deter these stinging pests from my garden?
While they are attracted to many flowering plants due to their role as pollinators, there are certain plants that seem especially attractive. For wasps, these might include sweet fennel, yarrow, and queen Anne’s lace. Bees are particularly drawn to plants like lavender, borage, and marjoram. If you’re looking to deter these insects, consider reducing the number of these plants in your garden. Alternatively, plant species like wormwood, eucalyptus, and citronella, which are known to repel some stinging insects. However, it’s essential to remember that bees play a crucial role in pollination, so try to strike a balance that respects both our ecosystem and personal comfort.
