Bee Exterminator & Bee Pest Control

Effective Bee Exterminator and Control throughout New Jersey & Connecticut

Bees have recently been declared the most important animal on Earth, and for very good reasons. They pollinate more than 70% of the plants in agriculture and are crucial to our planet’s ecosystem. With a staggering 90% of the population of bees disappearing in the last few years, we need to shift towards protecting them and respecting their contribution to our own existence.

However, bees can be very dangerous to children, pets, the elderly and people who suffer from a bee allergy. For these categories of people, a bee attack can easily be fatal or leave them in need of medical attention.

Getting rid of bees is a complicated matter and you need the right team for the job. At B&D Pest Solutions LLC, we have the bee exterminator services you need.

How to Recognize a Beehive

Beehives will vary according to the species that built it. Some are quite well hidden or hard to recognize by an untrained eye. A beehive will not always look like the ones you see in cartoons, hanging out a tree. Here are some examples of what to look for:

• Carpenter beehive: Carpenter bees nest into the wood, so they add other types of problems to the mix (weakening wooden structures of the home). They drill holes into the wood that are about 2 inches wide, where the female bee lays her eggs. Carpenter bees are larger and fuzzier than wasps but are not so aggressive as the latter.
• Honey bee hive: Honey bees will nest in trees, often in a hollow of a tree. They build the hexagon-shaped cells with wax secreted from their abdomen. As mentioned before, you will likely not find honey bee hives hanging out on tree branches, but enclosed in a space (a tree hollow or even a tight space in your home’s structure).
• Ground bees hive: Some bees will build their nest underground, and it will look like a big anthill. Ground bees don’t sting, but they can be a nuisance.
• Bumblebee hive: Bumblebees are quite large, fuzzy and have bright yellow stripes on their abdomen. Bumblebees won’t be as likely to sting as honey bees, but they will attack if provoked, and they are able to sting multiple times. They nest at ground level, often using empty rodent nests for their hive.

How to Get Rid of Bees

If you identify a bee nest on your property, don’t try a DIY removal, it can be very dangerous. Calling a professional NJ bee exterminator team will not only ensure that the procedure is done safely, but it will also be done in an ethical way. It’s important to mention that some bee species are protected by law and shouldn’t be exterminated, only removed.

Our professionals that handle bee pest control in NJ will have the adequate protective gear and instruments that allow them to safely remove the hive, without leaving anything behind. A bee nest will be carefully emptied and removed from your home, avoiding structural damages from decayed wax or a dangerous bee attack.

How to Prevent a Bee Infestation

Bees will be attracted by flowers – obviously – but they are also more likely to come near your home if you keep sweet foods exposed outdoors. Avoid leaving sweets like ice cream, fruit, soft drinks and other left-overs outside, and monitor any bee activity to recognize an infestation.

To avoid having a carpenter bee infestation, it’s best to paint or treat all wooden surfaces outside your home. Carpenter bees are more likely to nest in untreated wood, and they will damage it once they drill their holes.
