Can you see a beehive at home or in the garden? It is time to call a bee exterminator. If you don’t take steps at the right time, your home may be damaged, and you may have to suffer from multiple bee stings. Bees are of various kinds and all of them don’t sting. Yet, every kind of them can do some or the other damage to your house. As soon as you find a beehive you need to destroy it. Otherwise, the beehive will continue to grow and pose a bigger threat to your house and family members. 

The Harmful Effect of Bee Infestation

There are bumblebees, yellow jacket bees, carpenter bees, mason bees and honeybees. The yellow jacket bee and the bumblebee sting the most. Among them the yellow jacket bee comes in droves and stings. They are also more ferocious. The bumblebee is bigger in size than most bees and also stings ferociously, but the saving grace is that they don’t come in droves. 

The carpenter bee on the other hand poses a different kind of threat to households and properties. Though they too sting, they threaten each and every wooden item in your house or office. These bees work much like carpenters and can get into wooden furniture and other items with carpenter precision. You can just see a small hole on the furniture. However, the bee may well have made a 5-fit tunnel inside the furniture. In fact, it may have made multiple tunnels. Moreover, it often covers the entry point with saw dust and poop. So, the hole may appear insignificant, but it may have already caused extensive damage to the furniture. Be alert, when you see a small hole in your costly wooden furniture. The mason bees like to nest inside mortar. So, they can damage your walls. 

In general, any beehive can be harmful for the walls, ceilings, fascia boards etc. Beehive contains dense material such as wax, honey etc. These make the beehive heavy. As the size of the nest grows, it becomes heavier. While a heavy weight can damage the fascia boards, ceilings etc, the seepage of honey can damage walls further. So, you must act before the beehive becomes too large. If the beehive is outside the house and in the garden, the is risk is not as much to the property, but to you and your family members. In case it is a yellow jacket bee or bumblebee, you have your task cut out. Call a Bee Exterminator as soon as you notice the beehive.

Wasps

Wasps are different from bees but are usually more aggressive and sting more ferociously. If you provoke a colony of honeybees, they may attack you. But wasps don’t usually need provocation. They can attack you without any provocation whatsoever. The wasp nest is also different from beehive. You need to know whether a particular creature is some kind of a bee or a wasp in order to exterminate it. However, wasp nests don’t contain as much wasp as the number of bees in a beehive. Moreover, honeybees die after stinging once, but wasps don’t die after stinging once. So, you need to be sure that a nest is a wasp nest and not a honey bee nest or a beehive.
