A queen bee can lay up to 2,500 eggs per day. Trudy’s Kitchen would likely want to hire some extra help if they were to attempt to cook that many. While we don’t treat honey bees, we’ll treat for other kinds of stinging insects.
Stinging insects are probably the least favorite insect for most homeowners to attempt to exterminate on their own. Give us a call at the number below if you’d rather have us remove these dangerous pests.
Black Wasps are black in color, without stripes, and ½ to 1 ½ inches in length. As subterranean creatures, they live in small, underground nests. While the males are virtually harmless, females are capable of stinging when provoked. These stings can be especially painful, and run the same risk of allergic reaction as other stinging insects.
Yellow Jackets are approximately ½ to 1 inch long, and bright yellow and black in color. Similar to bees, they live in large colonies with a queen. When a nest of yellow jackets is located near a home, it must be removed immediately before an infestation develops. Unlike bees, yellow jackets are much more aggressive and can deliver several stings in a single attack.
Hornets are black with white markings and ½ to ⅝ of an inch long. Nests can be found hanging from bushes, trees, and buildings. Like other stinging insects, they have the ability to deliver several stings in a single attack. That’s why a nest should be removed immediately to prevent an infestation.
Honey Bees are light brown in color and measure approximately 15 mm long. They’re known for pollinating flowers in order to produce and store honey. As humans, we benefit greatly from what they provide. However, preventative measures must be taken to ensure a hive doesn’t exist in close proximity to a home.
The only way to protect your home from bees and other stinging insects is to remove a hive completely. This can be a dangerous task that requires the correct tools and strategy. That’s why it’s important to consult a pest control professional before any removal technique is attempted.
