BEE & WASP Pest Management
- The first step in bee and wasp control is to identify the insect and locate it’s nesting site.
- The second step would be to determine the right treatment procedures and protective equipment.
- The third step is to perform the treatment at the right time of day. In most cases the right time would be dusk or dawn to reduce swarming and the chances of someone getting stung.
No matter how big, or how small; BugMaster can take care of them all.
Africanized and European Honey Bees
- Look the same
- Protect their nest and sting in defense
- Can sting only once
- Have the same venom
- Pollinate flowers
- Produce honey and wax
Africanized honey bees are less predictable and more defensive than European honey bees. They are more likely to defend a greater area around their nest. They respond faster and in greater numbers although each bee can sting only once.
Africanized Honey Bees…
- Respond quickly and sting in large numbers
- Can sense a threat from people or animals 50 feet or more from the nest
- Sense vibrations from power equipment 100 feet or more from nest
- Will pursue an enemy ΒΌ mile or more
- Swarm frequently to establish new nests
- Nest in small cavities and sheltered areas
AHB nest in many locations where people may encounter them. Nesting sites include: empty boxes cans buckets or other containers; old tires; infrequently used vehicles; lumber piles; holes and cavities in fences trees or the ground; sheds garages and other outbuildings and low decks or spaces under buildings. Remove potential nest sites around buildings. Be careful wherever bees are present.
Africanized Bees (AHB) can be extremely dangerous and any management or control should be handled by a BugMaster Trained Technician. Schedule an appointment today to handle your bee or wasp problem.
