The hot days we're experiencing make yellow jackets, wasps, honeybees, and many other types of stinging insects especially active. If you're wondering what to do if you find a [bees nest in Massachusetts](http://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-bee-control/), here are a few bee removal tips. ![massachusetts bee exterminator](https://blog.burgesspest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bees_nest.jpg?width=249&name=bees_nest.jpg "massachusetts bee exterminator") 1. If you see bees coming and going from a small opening, never spray a liquid into that hole. It will likely make the problem significantly worse, not better. The bees will retreat further back into the wall void to get away from the product, causing them to get into the house from other openings, such as electrical sockets and lighting fixtures. A professional bee exterminator in Massachusetts, like [Burgess Pest Mana](http://www.burgesspest.com/)gement, will use a dusting product to safely remove the bees. 2. Confirm [which type of bees nest](http://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-pest-library/stinging-insects-pest-management/) you have. There is a big difference among types of bees, and some, such as honeybees, are protected by law. You'd not only be violating the law, but you'd be misusing a product if you apply it to the wrong target pest. 3. To overuse is to abuse. There is a major tendency to overuse bee removal products that are sold at hardware stores. This type of misuse can be dangerous, not to mention a waste of your money. Burgess Pest Management is the leading [Massachusetts](http://www.burgesspest.com/company/service-areas/) bee exterminator. Our team of bee removal experts is trained and certified in this type of dangerous work. For most Massachusetts homeowners, it's not worth getting stung by trying to resolve it on your own.  [![Proactive Pest Management](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/460754/89e54c9a-92f5-4be5-a4f5-07f851e84088.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/460754/89e54c9a-92f5-4be5-a4f5-07f851e84088) Topics: [burgess pest management](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/topic/burgess-pest-management), [massachusetts bees](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/topic/massachusetts-bees), [bee exterminators in massachusetts](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/topic/bee-exterminators-in-massachusetts)  Thanks for visiting today!   ## **Have a Pest Problem?**   **[![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/460754/cb31fb6d-9c1e-4916-b4b7-a37bbc4590a1.png)](http://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/460754/cb31fb6d-9c1e-4916-b4b7-a37bbc4590a1)** ### Get the latest in your inbox ### Recent Posts ##### Residential Pest Control - [Pad Protection Plans](https://www.burgesspest.com/pad-protection-plans/) - [Ant Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-ant-control/) - [Tick & Mosquito Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-tick-mosquito-control/) - [Rodent Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-rodent-control/) - [Bee Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-bee-control/) - [Insulation Cleanouts](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-insulation-cleanouts/) - [TAP® Insulation](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-tap-insulation-installer/) - [Massachusetts Wildlife Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-wildlife-control/) - [Schedule an Inspection](https://www.burgesspest.com/schedule-an-inspection/) ##### COMPANY - [Our Story](https://www.burgesspest.com/our-story/) - [Careers at Burgess](https://www.burgesspest.com/careers-at-burgess/) - [Service Areas](https://www.burgesspest.com/service-areas/) - [Customer Reviews](https://www.burgesspest.com/customer-reviews/) ##### Contact Us [508-587-4309](tel:508-587-4309) [email](mailto:info@burgesspest.com) - - - - ### SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOG: © 2022 Burgess Pest Management.
