MENACE OR ALLY?

Stinging insects like wasps and bees can be a serious threat to human health. Every year, nearly 100 people die from allergic reactions to the venom within the sting.

The benefits of bees and wasps as a whole,

though, doesn’t really matter if there is a nest

in the eaves of your home or somewhere in your backyard. You just

want and need bee and wasp control.

Many types of stinging insects forage in garbage cans and outdoor eating

areas throughout the summer months.

THE NESTING INSTINCT

Most stinging insects create nests of some sort, and that’s where the bee and wasp control problem comes in for most homeowners. These nests are rarely in convenient places

for you, leaving your family exposed to the danger of stings.

THE NESTING INSTINCT

Here are a few of the most common nesting behaviors of bees and wasps:

Yellow jackets often build nests below ground. Bald-faced hornets often build nests along the sides of

buildings. Paper wasps build nests in overhangs, eaves, attics,

garages, sheds, and many other places. Honey bees primarily nest in manufactured hives, but you

might find them in a protected area near your home. Bumble bees love unused cavities in buildings or other

quiet locations.

No matter where you find a nest, any of these insects can sting you if they feel threatened. Both wasps and bumble bees can sting more than once. Honey bees can only sting one time.
