What are stinging insects?

Stinging insects use a stinger found at the end of their abdomen to inject venom. When hunting, predatory species use their stingers to paralyze their prey, and all stinging insects use their stinger to defend themselves against threats.

Stinging insects can be solitary and live and nest alone, or they can be social and live and nest in large groups. 

Some of the most common stinging insects in our area of Idaho include:

  • Hornets
  • Mud daubers
  • Yellowjackets
  • Wasps

Are stinging insects dangerous?

For people severely allergic to stinging insects, their presence in your yard is a huge concern. Being stung by one or more stinging insects can lead to a serious or even life-threatening allergic reaction.

Even if you are not severely allergic to stinging insects, having their nest in a high-traffic area of your Meridian home is never ideal. As you and your family try to move around your yard, you will be in regular contact with these stinging pests. The more contact you have, the more likely a painful sting will occur.
