Pride Pest Service’s Solution for Bees and Wasps

Bees are a vital part of our ecosystem. Recent farming practices and extermination efforts have caused great concern recently as bee populations are diminishing and no longer able to pollinate crops the way they once did. However, bees, when they are in the wrong place at the wrong time, can be harmful to the humans that have begun a mission to protect them. That is why it is important to distinguish between the bees and other stinging insects before beginning an extermination program to eradicate them.

Identify the Stinging Insect

As soon as you hear the first buzz of a stinging insect, there is a temptation to panic.  Where there is one, there are more creating a nest or swarm that may endanger your family, pets and property. It is important to not panic. The first step in getting rid of a swarm or nest is to identify the stinging insect that is buzzing around your patio, porch, pool, hot tub, or other enclosed area. Fortunately, the professional Pride Pest Service technicians are ready to assist at a moment’s notice. During our site visits to your home or business, your Pride Pest Service technician will speak with you about your observations. For your safety, family and pets need to remain indoors while the process is underway. Your Pride Pest Service technician will verify the swarm or nest and evaluate the extent of the infestation.
