Bee & Wasp Extermination

Bees

Bees are flying insects that are easily identifiable by their somewhat fuzzy black-and-yellow striped bodies. When they swarm, they may appear in a dark cloud-like formation seen directly overhead in the sky. They feed on plant nectar, but they are also attracted to things like hummingbird feeders, sweetened beverages and other sources of sugar that may be left out intentionally or unintentionally around the home.

Bees play an important role in perpetuating necessary pollination for growing crops, and helping plants to thrive. However, not all bees are the same, and some can be a potentially dangerous pest when humans live in shared spaces with these flying insects.

Bees are a social insect that live in large colonies or hives. The queen bee is responsible for laying all of the eggs; in order for a hive to be eradicated, the queen must be destroyed. Sometimes, when a hive becomes too populated, a new queen will be born and leave with a number of worker bees and drones to establish a new colony.

Are bees really a problem?

Although bees can play an important role in the ecosystem, the bee population can become a nuisance for homeowners and business owners in the region. Because the majority of wild honey bees are Africanized, they are much more naturally aggressive than regular bees. In addition to boldly defending their hives, these bees may sometimes swarm further from the hive and attack a person or animal.

Some people are allergic to bee stings, and these allergies can become life-threatening. If a person is stung multiple times by many bees, the results can cause illness and, in severe cases, death. Although Africanized Honey Bees are no more venomous than any other bee, their aggressive behavior means that a person is more likely to be stung multiple times when facing this type of bee swarm. 



Wasps

Wasps don’t feed on pollen like bees do. In fact, these gangly-looking insects feed on other insects, making them beneficial in gardens and around homes throughout America. However, they don’t always travel alone. Wasps tend to gather in colonies and can quickly overtake a space. Although wasps tend to build their nests in trees and other high places, they often choose the most inconvenient location: right outside our doors.

They gather in groups of four, five or more and build paper nests on patio ceilings, deck railings and other spots near entryways. Because of their aggressive nature, it’s not a good idea to get close to their nests; you might end up with a nasty sting if you do. A wasp infestation is nothing to take lightly and may require professional wasp removal services depending on the size of the nest and the number of wasps in the area. Keep in mind that wasps don’t actively seek to sting humans and will usually only attack if they’re threatened.

Bee and wasp removal is a tricky and potentially dangerous action if not handled by professionals. You should not attempt to remove a colony of Africanized Honey Bees or nest of wasps yourself.
