Why Wasps Are Common in Des Moines, IA

A lot of wasps are attracted to the same things you love about Des Moines in the summer. They like sheltered areas protected from the weather, like older homes and porches, wooded areas, warm summers, and access to great food. 

  • Warm, humid spring and summer conditions
  • Access to food sources (trash, outdoor dining)
  • Protected areas for nesting (homes, garages, trees)

COMMON PESTS IN YOUR AREA

What Types of Wasps Are Found in Des Moines?

Here are some of the most common types of wasps in Des Moines.

Yellowjackets

Yellowjackets are one of the most aggressive pests Des Moines residents have to deal with. Part of this aggression is because they are extremely protective of their nests. If you get stung, the nest is probably nearby.

Bald-Faced Hornets

Did you know that the bald-faced hornet is actually a type of yellowjacket? However, their markings and nests are distinctive in comparison to those of typical yellowjackets. They are highly aggressive and territorial.

Paper Wasps

Paper wasps are less aggressive than yellowjackets, but they will still sting if their nest is disturbed. Unlike yellowjackets, they can also serve a helpful environmental role, helping control other pest populations in certain circumstances. Your Spidexx wasp exterminator in Des Moines will be happy to talk to you about your options if the nest isn’t interfering with your daily activities.

Cicada Killer Wasps

Even though these wasps are about two inches long, they aren’t aggressive and don’t typically sting.

Cicada killer wasps are often found flying low to the ground rather than higher spaces since they make their nests in the dirt.

Mud Daubers

Mud daubers are normally harmless. They rarely sting, even if you are near their nest. They can actually help control the spider populations near your home and porches.
