Dealing with stinging insects, like wasps and hornets, can be downright terrifying and dangerous. These pests often build nests near homes, in wall voids, eaves, and outdoor spaces, posing a significant risk to your family and pets. Wasp and hornets’ sometimes aggressive behavior (especially when their nest is disturbed) can lead to painful stings or even life-threatening allergic reactions. Depending on where nests are built, removal can be even more difficult than you think!
But don’t let the fear of stinging insects keep you from enjoying your home or yard. Whether you need wasp removal for a small nest or hornet control for a large and aggressive infestation, you can count on Forest Pest Control to provide fast, safe, and effective solutions. We’ll handle bees with care, and wasps and hornets with the utmost caution.
Let us take the sting out of your pest problem!
Wasps are one of the most common stinging insects found in Central Florida. You’ll most likely see the paper wasp or cicada killer wasp. Known for their sleek bodies and aggressive behavior, these insects can pose a threat if disturbed, especially during the warmer months. They are often found nesting in areas like eaves, sheds, or trees.
Hornets are a larger, more intimidating type of wasp commonly seen in Central Florida. We face bald-faced hornets and yellowjackets here in the area. With their aggressive tendencies and painful stings, they’re a concern for homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Hornets tend to build large nests, which can be found in trees, bushes, or even on the sides of buildings.
We understand that bees are crucial to our ecosystem. Bees are vital pollinators but can become problematic if they build hives close to human habitation in Central Florida. While typically less aggressive than wasps or hornets, they will still sting when they feel threatened. Bee stings can also be dangerous for individuals with allergies.
It’s important to work with professional services to handle hives safely and responsibly, relocating them when possible.

When a wasp nest appears near your home, it can feel like you’ve lost your outdoor space. And if the wrong wasp catches you, they might chase you. Wasps don’t just build nests in trees — your mailbox, barbecue grills, or even children’s playsets can suddenly become hot zones of stinging activity. This makes enjoying your yard or entertaining guests a risky experience. And for families with children or people allergic to stings, this becomes an urgent safety concern.
Forest Pest Control’s wasp nest removal service aims to do more than just clear your property of visible nests. Using protective equipment and targeted treatments, we eliminate the entire colony. Then, to prevent future problems, we apply specialized treatments and barriers to deter wasps from coming back.
We’ve seen folks try quick fixes like knocking the nest down themselves or dousing it with store-bought spray. But please do not knock down or remove the nest yourself. While this might scatter the wasps temporarily, it rarely eliminates all the insects or keeps them from rebuilding nearby. Worse, attacking a nest without the right timing or precautions can lead to aggressive swarms. This is a job for the professionals.
Hornets are one of the most aggressive types of stinging insects. They’re more painful than those of common wasps, and they can sting multiple times. Bald-faced hornets are especially aggressive.
Hornet pest control is beyond the scope of most DIY solutions. So please do not try to handle hornets on your own.
Unlike smaller nests that can sometimes be controlled with sprays, hornet colonies are large and protected by aggressive worker hornets. Creating a real, lasting solution requires removing the nest completely — something that’s almost impossible without professional training. Similarly with wasps, we’ll remove nests and apply treatments for long-lasting prevention.
