Stinging insects use the stinger located at the end of their abdomen to defend themselves against threats. Stinging insects often view people as threats because we are large in size and often unintentionally walk too close to their nest, making the colony uncomfortable. Some stinging insects also use their stingers and venom as a way to paralyze prey.
Stinging insects often build nests in our yards and gardens, making it difficult for us to enjoy either. The threat of being stung is enough to make anyone wary of spending time outside. Stinging insects that make themselves at home on our Nebraska properties include wasps, yellow jackets, bees, and hornets.
All stinging insects can be dangerous as their venom is strong enough to trigger serious or life-threatening reactions in those allergic. Their stings are also very painful, and many species can sting repeatedly.
Though they are dangerous when in our yards, when living outside and away from us, they are quite helpful. Predatory species like wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets help to minimize populations of nuisance and dangerous insects. Honey bees are pollinators and help ensure the success of flowers, crops, and other plants each year.
Stinging insects are at their peak numbers and most problematic in the warm summer and early fall months. At this time of year, they are out in large numbers and are on edge frantically looking for food to bring back to the colony. Things like flowering vegetation, gardens, fruit trees, open containers of trash, and recycling bins attract stinging insects. They feed on various things, including the same sweets and proteins we eat and the insects that call our yard home.
Common nesting sites for stinging insects include under eaves, on ceiling beams, and under porches and decks. Tree branches, tree hollows, shrubbery, and dense vegetation are also nesting sites. Yellow jackets build their nests in naturally occurring holes under woodpiles or brush piles or the abandoned nests of small animals.
If stinging insects move into a home or other structure to nest, they usually build their nest in a dark, secluded spot. Wall voids, chimneys, and attics are regular nesting spots for stinging insects.
