The most common bees found in Central and Southeastern PA have fuzzy, barrel-shaped bodies. They’re usually found near plants and flowers. Most bees are not aggressive and just want to be left alone.
We do not treat or exterminate honey bees or any pollinating insects.
Differences Between Bees & Wasps/Hornets
Bees are often confused with similar-looking stinging insects, such as wasps and hornets.
The main difference between pollinating bees and wasps/hornets, is the danger each presents. Bees generally want to be left alone and are not aggressive. Wasps, yellowjackets, and hornets can be aggressive when defending their nest. Females can deliver repeated stings when they feel threatened.
It can be unsettling to find a hive or swarm of bees in your home or on your property. It’s best to leave bee identification and bees’ nest control to the experts.
It’s Important to Protect Bees
Bees pollinate one-third of crops grown in the United States. Pollinating bees are also an essential part of Pennsylvania’s agriculture industry. That’s why we do not treat or exterminate honey bees or any pollinating insects.
However, if bees become a pest in or around your home or business, please schedule service. Our trained pest control professionals can deal with bees properly and ensure that neither bees nor humans are harmed in the process.
