You spot a beehive or wasp nest in a tree on your property, or under the eaves of your roof. What steps should you take to assess the situation, remove the hive or prevent future infestations? With proper stinging insect pest control, you can ensure your home remains safe and pest-free.
Most bees & wasps are not aggressive and will avoid contact with humans unless their hive is threatened. The white faced hornet is an exception to this rule, as they can be both territorial and aggressive towards humans.
Both bees and wasps play a vital role in the ecosystem as the primary pollinators of flowers, fruits and other plants we eat daily. Wasps are important for agricultural pest control because they consume the smaller pests that feed on the vegetation that’s important to plant growth
If you are stung, don’t panic. Only about 5-7% of people are allergic to bees and will require further treatment.
