There are around 2.7 million managed honeybee colonies in the United States, that’s a lot of bees. But this number is dwarfed by the wild bees we encounter every day. There are a lot of bees and we should be thankful for that. Choosing the right pest control operator
Bees are an essential part of any ecosystem. They provide pollination services that allow plants to flourish. Without the ever-busy bees, our ecosystems would be in trouble – and that is putting it mildly. Some scientists believe that if bees were to disappear all life on our planet would swiftly follow.
Of course, bees also provide us with honey, and there really is no substitute for the sweet, natural taste of honey. Without it, breakfasts would be considerably more boring and definitely less tasty.
But bees can also become a problem for homeowners when a swarm arrives to make a home on a residential property.
That problem can become truly life-threatening if any residents on the property have allergies to bee stings. However, even healthy adults can land themselves in the emergency room if the swarm is threatened or disturbed in any way. That problem swiftly becomes life-threatening if the bees are not a species like the American Honeybee, but rather hybridized Killer Bees. These bees will attack in enormous numbers and they are relentless, pursuing those who disturb the hive over long distances. And they attack in numbers.
These are only some of the reasons that calling in professionals is the best thing to do when it comes to pest control for bees.
As a homeowner, you might be tempted to try and remove a hive on your property as a DIY project. Don’t. Emergency rooms all over the United States see ambitious homeowners arrive on a regular basis. And remember, a professional pest removal company specializing in bee removal has seasoned specialists who can tell the difference between a hive of American Honeybees and one that is filled to the brim with Killer Bees, bad attitude, and all.
However, although the fact that disturbing a beehive can result in a trip to the hospital, or worse there are other reasons that pest removal for bees should be left to those who have the right training and years of experience.
Efficient and safe bee removal requires not only experience – but also the right equipment. Investing in that equipment when it will only be sued very rarely is not a great way to spend hard-earned cash. The return on investment is sub-par.
Then there is your most precious asset, time. Setting up to remove a hive on the property and the removal itself takes up leisure time, time that can be spent far more productively and pleasantly with family and friends.
By using a bee removal service you will also have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that these professionals will often provide a service that relocates the bees. That’s valuable, seeing that the bee populations across North America, and indeed the world are under threat.
They will also have access to chemicals to deal with the hive should there be no other choice. Those specialized chemicals are by-and-large not available over the counter.
So pest control for bees is best left to the professionals. Your family will be safer, you’ll save time and money – and sleep soundly knowing you have done your bit to keep our precious ecosystems humming along.
