Identifying & Dealing with Bees & Wasps

Bees are closely related to wasps, but these insects play an important role in pollinating plants. Because of this important role, it is essential to get professional help in dealing with bee problems. Bees can be a nuisance, and an overpopulation can be dangerous, especially to those who are allergic to their stings. 

You can identify bees by the following characteristics:

• Round, fuzzy bodies
• Flat, wide legs
• Dark yellow color

Though bees can vary in size, they tend to be fairly small. Wasps, on the other hand:

• Have long, narrow bodies and a thin waist with clear segments
• Are smooth-bodied and appear shiny
• Are generally lighter yellow than bees
• Fly with their legs dangling

In addition to the characteristics listed above, you can look at the nest to determine whether it is a bee or wasp. Wasps tend to like to make their nests on the outside structures, such as eaves, gutters, or soffits. Bees, on the other hand, like to create their hives in hollow areas, like trees, stable rock crevices, or attic and loft spaces that offer a secure, covered, and drier space for the colony.  

If you are unsure whether you are facing a bee or a wasp infestation, call our team today. We begin every service with a thorough inspection to help identify the problem. 

The Dangers of Stinging Insects

While both bees and wasps are attracted to certain kinds of plant life, they can also be tempted by sugary liquids and the crumbs of leftover food and are notorious for ruining picnics. Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times, which can make dealing with wasps very dangerous to do on your own. 

Stings are never pleasant, no matter the species, and accidentally angering a hive or nest could turn into a serious problem. Many species of bees and wasps tend to swarm, leading to multiple stings and potentially serious allergic reactions. This is why we do not recommend that you try to address a bee or wasp problem on your own. Our team has the proper tools, equipment, and experience to safely handle stinging insects, so there is no need to risk your own health and safety.
