Frequently Asked Questions
Are stinging insects dangerous?
Here at Blue Duck Pest Control, we serve Indianapolis and the surrounding areas, and stinging insects can absolutely be dangerous. Many people are allergic to bee, wasp, or hornet stings, and even people who are not allergic can experience serious reactions if they are stung multiple times. Nests should never be disturbed because stinging insects are highly defensive and will swarm if they feel their colony is threatened.
At Blue Duck Pest Control, we strongly advise homeowners in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, and surrounding communities to avoid trying to knock down nests or disturb them. When nests are attacked, the insects may swarm and can sting people far beyond the immediate area. Professional pest control technicians have the proper equipment, protective gear, and treatment products to eliminate stinging insect nests safely.
Can I spray a nest myself?
Here at Blue Duck Pest Control, we serve Indianapolis and the surrounding areas, and while it is technically possible to attempt treating a stinging insect nest yourself, it is usually not recommended. Many store-bought sprays are available at home improvement stores, but most homeowners do not have proper protective equipment such as a professional bee suit.
At Blue Duck Pest Control, we regularly assist homeowners in Westfield, Zionsville, and surrounding communities who attempted to treat a nest themselves and were attacked by the insects. Stinging insects can be extremely aggressive when defending their nest, and their stings can be incredibly painful. While some pest control issues can be handled with DIY methods, stinging insect nests are one of the situations where calling a professional is the safest option.
Will the nest come back next year?
Here at Blue Duck Pest Control, we serve Indianapolis and the surrounding areas, and most stinging insects will not reuse the same nest from the previous season. Many species, including paper wasps and bald-faced hornets, build entirely new nests each year.
At Blue Duck Pest Control, we explain to homeowners in Fishers, Carmel, and surrounding communities that only the queen typically survives the winter. She will overwinter in protected areas such as attics, brush piles, or tree bark. In the spring, she begins building a new colony and nest, which is why early detection and treatment are important each year.
What is the difference between bees, wasps, and hornets?
Here at Blue Duck Pest Control, we serve Carmel and the surrounding areas, and bees, wasps, and hornets are very different insects that behave and nest in different ways. Honeybees are extremely important pollinators and are often protected, which means pest control professionals typically avoid harming them whenever possible.
Wasps and hornets, however, are far more aggressive and can sting repeatedly. At Blue Duck Pest Control, we frequently help homeowners in Fishers and surrounding communities deal with species like paper wasps and bald-faced hornets. Some hornets are known to defend their nests aggressively and may even target the face when attacking perceived threats.
When should you remove a nest?
Here at Blue Duck Pest Control, we serve Westfield and the surrounding areas, and homeowners are strongly advised not to attempt removing stinging insect nests themselves due to the risk of multiple stings.
If someone does attempt to treat a nest on their own, dusk or early morning is typically the safest time because most insects have returned to the nest and are less active. However, at Blue Duck Pest Control, our technicians in Noblesville and surrounding communities are equipped with professional protective gear and specialized products that allow us to safely treat nests at any time of day.
