All You Need to Know Regarding Bee Removal

by Anita Schmidt

Having a swarm of bees on your property should be a cause for concern. While some Australian homeowners may believe that as long as they do not tamper with the hive, then everything will be okay, the reality of the matter is that if you are not nurturing bees for harvesting honey, then you are always at the threat of injury from the swarm. Not to mention that some bees will burrow into your timber products, causing structural damage on your property. Thus, it is always advisable to seek bee removal services from a pest control provider, like Stewarts Pest Control. Here are a few of the things that you should know regarding bee removal.

Will the bees eventually leave?

If bees have formed hives on your property, the likelihood of them leaving is zero. Bees tend to create their own structures so that they can have a stable place to grow their colony. Hence, if you notice one or more hives on your property, then it is crucial to have them exterminated or removed immediately.

Are all bees the same?

While bees may seem alike, you could encounter two main types at your home. The first is bumblebees, which are characterised by how they swarm around in a large pack. These bees have the primary function of harvesting nectar for their queen, so you will see them buzzing around the flowers in your yard. The second type of bee that you can find on your property is the carpenter bee. Carpenter bees differ from their bumblebee counterparts in two ways. First, carpenter bees buzz around independently instead of as a swarm. Second, carpenter bees feed on wood, so they pose a massive threat to your decking, fascia and other timber structures. Both bees cause pain with their stings, so it is imperative to seek professional help to get rid of them. 

Can smoke and water eliminate the bees?

The prevalent assumption about bees is that they are averse to water and will become placid when exposed to smoke. Nevertheless, it is never a good idea to try to pour water on them under the impression they will leave your property. The worst that could happen is the water will aggravate the bees, causing them to swarm around your home and pose a substantially severe safety problem for everyone on site. The best thing to do is leave the hive alone and have the pest control specialist come and address the issue for you.
