How To Deal With Bees And Stinging Insects

While bees are beneficial for the environment, their ability to sting makes them a possible threat thus classifying them in the category of stinging insects, which also has hornets, wasps, and scorpions. Other insects do not sting, but they do bite. In most cases, stinging insects are considered a bigger threat compared to bugs that bite because the stingers have venom that can cause death or health complications.

The best way of dealing with bees and other stinging insects is understanding how they live. As such, you need to know the following:

•    Insects can be aerial or ground nests, and this helps know where to expect their colonies. Dealing with aerial bugs is different from how to deal with ground insects. It is easier to find aerial colonies than those that make their nest underground. Aerial stinging insects such as bees tend to build their nests in trees, barns, attics, and shrubs. Be it an underground nest or an aerial nest; the location preference will differ from one type of insect to the next. For instance, bees can build a hive on a tree branch and wasp will build their nest under the roof gutters.

•    Stinging insects are colonial. Some have perennial colonies such as honeybees, and others have annual colonies such as bumblebees. Wasps also have short-term colonies. Knowing how the insects build their colonies can help understand their survival tactics and thus how to eradicate them.

•    Stinging insects only sting when the feel threatened; it is a defense mechanism. How they sting varies and so does the nature of the venom in their sting. Some die after stinging a person or animal and others can sting more than once. Knowing this information can help know which stinging bugs pose a greater danger to your family and animals. It will also help know which measure to taken when stung by a particular insect.

It might be easy to get rid of insects that make aerial nests, but hard to handle bugs that establish their nests underground. The risk of being attacked by the colony when trying to get rid of the stinging bugs is great. As such, it is best to let bug exterminators or professional pest control experts help you get rid of the unwelcome bees or stinging insects once your spot them in your home. Just make sure you hire a pest control service that favors the use of natural methods as opposed to that of harmful pesticides.
