Bees & Wasps
Bees and wasps are not only harmful to humans, they can damage buildings as well. Hives, nests, or swarms are often built in the cavities of structures. This may include underneath roof lines or even inside walls.
Wasps can eat away at the plaster in your walls while honey from beehives can damage the structure of a building. Both lead to costly repairs if not treated promptly.
When defending themselves or their hives, both bees and wasps will sting. It is often painful and can lead to swelling, irritation, or allergic reactions in extreme cases. Wasps, in particular, can be aggressive and dangerous.
Bees vs. Wasps
Wasps are longer and skinnier than their bee counterparts. They have a predominantly black head and “torso” and a yellow striped tail. They build nests in cavities, but can also next in the ground or trees.
Bees are round and shorter in length, with a yellow head and a striped tail. They often appear furry. Bees build hives in structure cavities, but also in trees, bins, or containers.
How to Remove Bees and Wasps
To remove bees and wasps, it’s best to leave this one to the professionals. These pests can be aggressive and dangerous and there is no easy method for DIY treatment and removal.
If you notice bees and wasps around your home or business, try to locate their hive or nest from a distance. Keep kids, pets, and customers away from their area and immediately call MAD Pest Management to schedule removal.
To prevent bees and wasps in the first place, keep food and sugary substances tightly sealed. Regularly clean cavities and structures where they may like to nest.
Wasp Nest Removal
Do not try to remove a wasp nest yourself. Wasp nests post a significant danger to your family and your business. If provoked, wasps can become aggressive defending their nest. Even if you are not allergic, multiple wasp stings can have major health impacts.
