What kind of stinging insects do we have in Florida?
Florida has no shortage of stinging insects. Some of the most common include:
- The African Honey Bee: these guys look like traditional honey bees, but are far more aggressive.
- Bumble Bee: bumblebees are less aggressive than African Honey Bees but still dangerous.
- Yellow Jackets: yellowjacket colonies are formed in the spring, so keep an eye out as the seasons start to change.
- Paper Wasps: these wasps get their name from the paper-like structure Queen wasps build in the spring.
How can I prevent stinging insects from taking over my backyard?
The EPA recommends taking a few key steps to eliminate sources of food and keep stinging insects away:
- Never leave food outside, especially in common spaces like playgrounds and picnic tables
- Clean sweet, sticky food and drink residue immediately after it’s been spilled
- Cover trashcans and remove garbage from outdoor spaces as soon as possible
