The Signs of a Bee or Wasp Infestation
Detecting an infestation early can make a world of difference in managing bees and wasps. Here are some key signs to watch for in and around your property:
- Visible hives or nests: Look out for wasp nests shaped like paper cones or honeybee hives clustered in corners, trees, or under your eaves.
- Heavy buzzing sounds: Persistent buzzing noises near your wall voids, attics, or outdoor structures could indicate bee or wasp activity.
- Frequent flying activity: Bees and wasps flying in and out of a specific area on your property suggest a potential nesting site nearby.
- Stings or aggressive behavior: Increased aggression or stings may indicate that colonies are growing and becoming protective of their nests.
- Chewed wood or holes: Paper wasps sometimes chew wood fibers to build nests, and small holes in wood could indicate that they are gathering materials.
- Scattered dead bees or wasps: A higher presence of dead insects near windows, doorways, or light fixtures suggests a nearby infestation.
The Importance of Bees in the Ecosystem
Bees are vital to our lives, playing a key role in pollinating crops and native plants. It’s estimated that over a third of the food we consume, from fruits and vegetables to nuts and seeds, relies on pollination.
Furthermore, bees contribute to the health of natural ecosystems. They maintain biodiversity by pollinating wildflowers and other plants, which in turn provide habitats and food for countless other species. This intricate balance highlights just how essential bees are to the environment and the interconnected systems that sustain our lives.
At Southwest Exterminating, we recognize the importance of protecting bees while maintaining the safety and comfort of your property. That’s why we prioritize humane removal methods, where possible, so bees can continue their critical work in the ecosystem—just not at the expense of your peace of mind and safety.
Through responsible bee and wasp control, we help preserve local biodiversity while still safeguarding the Greater Houston Area from the risks posed by active hives in residential and commercial areas.
