Miller Pest & Termite Gets Rid Of Stinging Pests Quickly
Stinging insects like wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets have their place, but it’s not in or near your home!

If you’ve noticed stinging insects on your property, contact Miller in Des Moines, Kansas City, Leawood, and Omaha, as well as throughout the Midwest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Stinging Insect Control FAQs
Stinging insects are active at the worst time of year. When the weather is nice, you want to spend time outdoors. Not only that, as the summer goes on, colonies will reach peak numbers, and when their natural food sources are depleted, workers will start foraging for food. Late summer and early fall are when Midwest property owners should pay even closer attention to stinging insects on their properties.
While a professional is your best and most effective option for stinging insect control, there are a few steps you can take to make your home safer against these dangerous pests.
To help make your home and yard less attractive to stinging insects, you can:
- Keep a tight-fitting lid or lock on all trash cans and compost bins around your home
- Clean up any leftover food or drinks after eating outside
- Keep trees, bushes, and shrubs off the exterior of your home
- Place tight-fitting caps on all chimneys—this helps keep rodents, wildlife, and other pests out as well
Common nesting sites include, but are not limited to:
- Attics
- Hollow tree trunks
- Underground in abandoned rodent burrows
- Inside HVACs
- Behind window shutters
- Treetops
- Under the edge of roofs
- Beneath decks and patios
- On playground equipment, swings and toys
