What Are the Differences Between Wasps, Hornets & Bees?
Identifying the stinging insects around a home is crucial for effective pest control. While wasps, hornets, and bees share similarities, they have very different mannerisms. Understanding these differences helps determine the appropriate action to take against them and avoid unnecessary stings. Bees primarily gather pollen and nectar, playing a vital role in pollination, while wasps and hornets are predatory, feeding on other insects and sometimes scavenging for food. Misidentification can lead to improper treatment and increased risk.
Here's a breakdown of their differences:
- Physical appearance: Wasps typically have slender bodies and a narrow "waist," hornets are larger and stouter, and bees are fuzzy with a broader body.
- Nest structure: Wasps and hornets build paper-like nests in trees, eaves, or underground, while bees construct wax hives in cavities or hanging structures.
- Dietary habits: Wasps and hornets are carnivorous or omnivorous, feeding on insects and sweets, whereas bees are primarily herbivores, collecting pollen and nectar.
- Aggression levels: Hornets are generally the most aggressive, followed by some wasps, while bees are typically docile unless provoked.
- Stinging behavior: Wasps and hornets can sting multiple times, while honeybees can only sting once, leaving their stinger behind.
Accurate identification allows SpraySafe Pest Control to implement targeted control strategies. Our expert technicians can distinguish between these stinging insects and provide safe, effective removal.

How Do You Safely Remove a Wasp or Hornet Nest?
Safely removing a wasp or hornet nest requires specialized knowledge and equipment. These insects can be highly aggressive, and attempting removal without proper precautions can result in multiple stings. Professional pest control is essential to minimize risks and ensure complete eradication. Improper removal often leads to the insects dispersing and establishing new nests, compounding the problem.
Effective nest removal involves these crucial steps:
- Protective gear: Technicians wear full protective suits, including veils and gloves, to prevent stings.
- Species identification: Correctly identifying the species determines the appropriate treatment method.
- Timing of removal: Nests are typically treated during early morning or late evening when insects are less active.
- Application of insecticides: Specialized insecticides are applied directly to the nest entrance and within the nest itself.
- Nest removal: Once the insects are deceased, the nest is carefully removed and disposed of.
- Preventative measures: Sealing potential entry points and removing attractants helps prevent future infestations.
