How We Treat Wasps vs. Bees
Step 1: Identification
This is vital. We determine if you have a Wasp (Pest) or a Honey Bee (Protected) colony.
Step 2: Wasp Extermination
We treat wasp nests with a professional powder insecticide injected directly into the entrance. The colony is usually dead within hours.
Step 3: Bee Relocation
We avoid killing bees. We work with local beekeepers to safely remove the swarm and relocate it to a hive where they can thrive.
Why You Need a Professional
Danger: Anaphylactic Shock
Disturbing a nest can lead to hundreds of stings. For those with allergies, this is life-threatening.
Equipment: Full Protective Gear
Our technicians wear professional bee suits and use extendable lances to reach high nests without ladders.
Failure of DIY: Store-bought Foams
DIY products often fail to reach the queen deep inside the nest, merely making the swarm angry.
Signs You Have a Nest
Visual Activity: Constant Swarming
If you see large numbers of insects entering and leaving a specific hole in your roof, shed, or ground, there is a nest inside.
Noise: Loud Buzzing
A continuous humming sound coming from a loft space or wall cavity often indicates a large colony.
The Nest: Papery vs Waxy
Wasp nests look like grey papier-mâché balloons. Honey bee hives are waxy. Bumblebee nests often look like messy balls of grass.
Aggression: Attack Pattern
Wasps are aggressive and sting multiple times. Honey Bees are generally calmer unless the hive is directly threatened.
