When it comes to your home as well as the health and safety of your family, you know that certain jobs require professionals— namely, plumbing and electrical work. Homeowners are often more than willing to hire contractors for certain types of work, but when it comes to pest control services, they often prefer a DIY approach. Most homeowners wrongly assume that bee removal is as simple as spraying the hive with insecticide and the problem is solved, right? Wrong! Removing an entire hive of bees is dangerous work rife with difficulty and the potential to get hurt in the process.
You may still shake your head and think that a DIY approach is adequate, but let us convince you otherwise!
*Bee Removal Is Hazardous Work
There are numerous issues with taking a DIY approach to bee removal. Firstly, it’s dangerous work that means putting yourself and your family at risk for getting stung when you don’t know what you’re doing. It’s also unlikely that you have the necessary experience or the tools for the job to do it well and humanely. Additionally, many hives are located at great heights such as near the roofline or on tree branches, therefore, attempting to climb a ladder makes it even easier to fall and injure yourself in the process.
*Everything Needs To Go!
In order to consider a bee removal complete and secure, everything needs to go— that includes the bees themselves and their honeycomb. Leaving even a small trace behind of these unwanted tenants will trigger pheromones that attract even more buzzing pollinators. Of course, not to mention, predators and other insect varieties may also get triggered by the pheromones left behind. Most novice homeowners aren’t aware of this and also don’t have the skills necessary to perform a thorough removal job.
*Not A Humane Solution
The real problem is that bees are becoming endangered, and as such, it’s important to protect them in any way that we can. Most homeowners are unable to remove an entire hive in a humane manner that doesn’t hurt the bees in some way. Since bees aren’t nuisance insects and play a crucial role in the pollination of our environment, they should be protected, and actually, there are stringent rules in place for handling them. Most aren’t aware that it’s illegal to hurt bees, especially through the use of commonly found insecticides at hardware stores. For this reason among many others, opting for a live removal pest control service is a responsible and humane way to handle your buzzing problem!
