Bees and Wasps
How to Get Rid of Bees and Wasps
Bees:
Bees are not a pest, despite sometimes settling in locations that are not sustainable for their hive. They are extremely important in nature with the work they do pollinating plants that produce the fresh produce we enjoy from around the state. Not to mention the honey that they produce in Tasmania, which is some of the best in the world.
Despite ideally being able to safely move and reposition any bee colonies that settle in locations too close to homes or people, unfortunately they do sometimes set up their hives in areas of homes where they can’t be removed by a beekeeper and the hive has to be destroyed. One example of an area of the home bees love to build their nests are in chimneys. If you are facing a problem with bees, give us a call and we will be able to find a solution for you. We will only destroy a hive if it can’t be removed safely.
European Wasps:
Unlike bees, wasps are a true pest and do not provide any tangible benefit to our environment. This species was introduced to Tasmania in 1959 and has continued to strengthen in its numbers in the state since then.
If you have noticed a wasp nest on your property, do not try to destroy it yourself. These wasps can inflict fatal injuries on humans if their nests are attacked. If you are experiencing large numbers of wasps on your property but can’t see a nest, we have baiting options available to control them.
