Understanding Common Stinging Insects in Glenview
Knowing what kind of stinging insect you are dealing with is the first step toward effective removal. Different species have unique behaviors and pose different levels of threat, requiring specific strategies for safe and complete eradication. Here are some of the common types found in the Glenview area:
- Wasps: This group includes Yellow Jackets and Paper Wasps. They are social, highly aggressive when threatened, and can sting multiple times. Their paper-like nests are often found hanging from eaves, railings, or inside wall voids.
- Hornets: A subset of wasps, hornets like the Bald-Faced Hornet are larger and build large, enclosed nests that can be seen hanging from tree branches or attached to the sides of buildings. They are extremely protective of their nests.
- Carpenter Bees: These bees resemble bumblebees but have a shiny, black abdomen. They are less aggressive but can cause cosmetic and structural damage by drilling perfectly round holes into wood decks, siding, and fascia boards to build their nests.
- Honeybees: Vital for pollination, honeybees are typically not aggressive. Due to their environmental importance, they should be professionally relocated, not exterminated.
Proper identification is crucial not only for your safety but also for choosing the right treatment method. A professional can quickly assess the species, locate all nesting sites, and implement a solution that is both effective and environmentally responsible.
Our Safe and Effective Bee & Wasp Removal Process
At Aerex Pest Control, we follow a proven, meticulous process to ensure the complete and safe removal of stinging insects from your property. Our goal is to eliminate the immediate threat and help prevent future infestations, giving you lasting peace of mind.
Here is what you can expect from our team:
- Thorough Inspection: We start by conducting a detailed inspection of your property to identify the type of stinging insect, locate all nests, and assess the extent of the infestation. We check common areas like eaves, attics, decks, and wall voids.
- Customized Treatment Plan: Based on our findings, we develop a tailored treatment strategy. This plan considers the insect species, nest location, and safety of your family and pets, utilizing the most appropriate EPA-registered products and techniques.
- Safe Removal and Treatment: Our certified technicians, trained by leading entomologists, use specialized protective gear and equipment to safely treat and remove the nests. We work efficiently to neutralize the threat with minimal disruption to your home.
- Preventative Recommendations: After removal, we provide expert advice on how to make your property less attractive to stinging insects in the future. This may include sealing entry points, managing food sources, and trimming vegetation away from your home.
We handle every step with the professionalism and care that comes from over 70 years of serving the Chicagoland community. Our focus is on providing a solution that is not just effective, but also responsible and safe for your entire family.
The Importance of Professional Wasp Removal
Attempting to remove a wasp or hornet nest on your own is extremely dangerous. Agitated stinging insects will attack in swarms to defend their colony, leading to multiple painful stings that can cause severe allergic reactions, even in those not previously known to be allergic.
Furthermore, DIY sprays often fail to eliminate the entire colony. If the queen survives, she can quickly rebuild the nest, and surviving workers may become more aggressive. A failed attempt can make the problem significantly worse and more hazardous to solve later on.
Professionals have the correct personal protective equipment, specialized tools, and proven products to handle the job safely and effectively. They can ensure the entire nest, including the queen, is eradicated, providing a comprehensive and lasting solution that protects your family's health and safety.

How can I prevent stink bugs in the future?
We have put together a list of stink bug prevention tips to help you keep stink bugs out of your home.
- Make it as difficult as possible for stink bugs to move into your home by sealing any openings in the exterior, placing covers over vents, and caps on chimneys.
- When possible, place gardens and fruit trees as far away from the walls of your home as possible.
- Cut tree branches and shrubs back away from the outside walls of your home; stink bugs will use their branches to access your house.
- Rake back leaves from your foundation and store woodpiles away from the immediate perimeter of your home. Stink bugs will hide under both.
- Turn off outdoor lights when they aren't needed because stink bugs are attracted to light. If possible, trade out regular white outdoor lights for LED or yellow lights that are less attractive to insects.
