Bees, Hornets and Wasp

Understanding and Managing the Risks of Bee, Hornet, and Wasp Stings

Bees, Hornets, and Wasps pose more danger than they might appear to.

The venom in bee stings can swiftly lead to swelling and allergic reactions. Moreover, a bee's sting is barbed, lodging itself into the skin and continuing to inject venom for minutes after the initial sting. Alarmingly, around 50 stings could be lethal to a child. Hornet stings are even more hazardous and excruciating, with the potential to be fatal with just three stings. Stings from wasps, bees, and hornets all carry venom and necessitate prompt medical attention, particularly if the sting occurs in critical areas like the tongue or neck, where there's a threat of choking.


While a single wasp sting might not be typically life-threatening, receiving 30 to 40 stings could be fatal. Although rare, severe complications like blood clotting can occur. Some individuals might experience a drastic allergic reaction known as Anaphylaxis to a wasp sting, which is deadly and requires immediate medical intervention. Symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, facial swelling, nausea, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, trouble swallowing, unconsciousness, and a sudden drop in blood pressure are grave and can lead to death in a mere 10 minutes if not treated promptly.


While the instinct might be to remove their nests instantly, it's crucial to approach this task safely and effectively. Enlisting a certified pest control professional is the safest and most reliable approach. These experts are equipped with the necessary experience and tools to handle potentially large and aggressive swarms of bees, hornets, and wasps, thereby minimizing the risk of injury.

Expert Removal and Prevention of Bee, Hornet, and Wasp Infestations

Our team of experts boasts extensive experience in the safe and meticulous removal of bees, hornets, and wasps from your premises. They conduct thorough inspections of the nests and determine the optimal timing for a safer extraction. For smaller nests, commercial sprays may be employed for effective removal. In cases of ground-nesting wasps, which reside in tunnels, applying insecticide dust directly into the burrow proves to be an efficient method of control.


Our preferred strategy involves addressing the nest at night when the queen and worker insects are present and notably less hostile. This approach has consistently been successful in eliminating the majority of the insects. Post-treatment, the wasp nests are extracted, and the surrounding areas are treated to ensure that any returning wasps or hornets are eradicated upon contact with the residual substances. Our professionals diligently ensure that once a hornet's nest is demolished, it doesn't become a site for future colonies.


Opting for our year-round service is advisable, as it guarantees recurrent inspections and interventions at no additional charge, should a new colony emerge. This ongoing commitment ensures your property remains free from these stinging pests.
