Bees in Massachusetts
The month of August is typically the most active time of the year for bees in Massachusetts. 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, here are a few bee removal tips.
- 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 Management, will use a dusting product to safely remove the bees.
- Confirm which type of bees nest 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.
- 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.
