Dealing with Bees

Bees play an essential role in our ecosystem. They help pollinate crops and native plants, and many people are concerned with protecting them. However, this does not mean that you want them nesting on your property. Some species of bees, such as honeybees, live in colonies with tens of thousands of bees. This can become a nuisance very quickly. Many bee species are not aggressive, but if they feel threatened, they will sting. Their nests and hives can also cause serious property damage.

Common bees found in New Jersey include:

• Bumblebees
• Carpenter bees
• Honeybees
• Cicada Killer Bees
• Ground/ Mining Bees

Carpenter bees are some of the most destructive as they do not build nests or hives. Instead, they burrow into wood. While they prefer damp, rotting wood, they are known to burrow into the structures of residential homes and commercial properties. If you see an increase in the bees in your yard, or if you are finding nests and hives, contact Horizon Pest Control for safe, effective bee removal.

Wasps and Hornets

Many people mistake these pests for bees. However, wasps and hornets are more dangerous and aggressive than bees, and commonly bite or sting. They often build their nests on porches, in door frames, and eaves of buildings. Similarly, you may also find hornets nests on the ground, in floor joints, and on walls.

The three most common species in New Jersey and New York are:

• Paper wasps
• Yellow jackets
• Hornets
• Mud Daubers

Paper wasps and yellow jackets are commonly encountered in New Jersey. Similar to bees, they work in a colony and will defend their nest if they feel it is threatened. They are most active during the summer, and in the winter, they die off. These insects are larger than bees and have more elongated bodies and legs. Yellow jackets are particularly dangerous as they can both bite and sting. They tend to stay near their nests, so if you see one, there is probably a nest somewhere on your property.

Do Not Remove Nests or Hives on Your Own

Because bees and wasps can be aggressive and swarm, you should always contact professional pest control experts, like ours at Horizon Pest Control, to remove them.
