Common Stinging Insects in New Jersey
Stinging insects are a frequent concern for New Jersey residents, especially in the spring and summer months. Here are some of the most common offenders:
What is the most common stinging insect?
The yellow jacket is the most common stinging insect found in New Jersey. Known for their aggressive behavior and painful stings, yellow jackets often build nests underground, in wall voids, or around outdoor structures.
What Are the Bugs Invading New Jersey?
Besides yellow jackets, New Jersey faces invasions from:
-
Bald-faced hornets (nest in trees and shrubs)
-
Paper wasps (build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and railings)
-
Carpenter bees (bore into wood to nest)
-
Cicada killers (large, solitary wasps that burrow into the ground)
-
Spotted lanternflies (an invasive non-stinging pest but highly destructive to plants)
-
Ants, mosquitoes, and other nuisance pests often invade alongside stinging insects.
Are There Any Poisonous Bugs in New Jersey?
While New Jersey is home to many biting and stinging insects, most are not considered medically dangerous or “poisonous” in the way venomous spiders or scorpions are. However, stings from yellow jackets, hornets, and wasps can cause allergic reactions in some people, which may be serious or even life-threatening. If you experience difficulty breathing, swelling, or hives after a sting, seek medical attention immediately.
What Kind of Stinging Insects Live in the Ground?
Many people are surprised to learn that some stinging insects prefer underground nests. In New Jersey, the primary ground-dwelling stingers include:
-
Yellow jackets (the most common ground nesters, often in lawns, under shrubs, or in wall voids)
-
Cicada killer wasps (solitary, large wasps that tunnel into soil)
-
Bumble bees (some species nest underground, often in abandoned rodent burrows)
Underground nests can be dangerous to handle never attempt removal yourself! Trust Action Termite and Pest Control for safe, professional extermination.
