Stinging pests create different problems than other common pests. They don’t invade our kitchens like ants or roaches, and they are not after our blood like bed bugs or mosquitoes. Instead, stinging insects are motivated to provide for their own by foraging for food outside. From flower nectar to dry dog food, wasps and bees are on the hunt for safe sources of nutrients that will sustain their ever-growing colonies. They can find all kinds of food sources in our Freeburg yards and outdoor spaces that will cause them to stick around and become territorial of the area, but more on that later.
Some of the most common attractants for Freeburg stinging insects are:
- Dense landscaping
- Flowery areas
- Nectar-producing plants
- Open garbage cans
- Compost piles
- Sweet or floral scents
- Moisture-damaged wood
- Sugary foods and drinks
- Dry pet food
- Barbecued meats
Wasps and bees are some of the most territorial insects around. If they perceive a threat to their nest and colony, the workers will release an alarm pheromone (invisible scent chemical) that tells their fellow workers to rush over and defend their home. Bees can only sting once due to their barbed stingers, but wasps and hornets can sting as many times as they want.
