Common Stinging Insects in Santa Barbara: Identification Guide
When people see a flying insect with yellow and black markings, they are quick to identify it as a bee, usually before running away as quickly as possible. However, there are many distinct kinds of stinging insects in California, and the differences between them are very important, since it can mean alternative means of locating and removing an infestation.
Some of the most common types of bees, wasps, or hornets that you might find flying around your home or business in Santa Barbara include:
- Paper wasps
- Honeybees
- Bumblebees
- Bald faced hornets
- Yellowjackets
- Mud daubers
- Carpenter bees
Locating Hidden Stinging Insect Nests
To begin the process of getting rid of an unwanted population of bees, hornets, or wasps from your home, the first necessary step is identifying where the colony is located. While some homeowners may know exactly where the nest is, having accidentally stumbled across it in an unfortunate event that led to many painful bites and stings, in many cases the colony may be well-hidden.
Although these insects have been known to tuck a hive or nest within the rooftop or rafters of your building, you may be surprised to discover that they are quite innovative at building their home just about anywhere. Sometimes colonies can gather beneath gutters, behind gables, along stairs and decks, or within holes of trees. They may be also spotted directly in the ground, or even hide in a mailbox or abandoned piece of furniture.
