Although bees, wasps, and hornets are beneficial to the environment in many ways, that doesn’t mean you want them swarming on your property. If there is evidence you have an infestation of any of these types of stinging insects, it’s essential to get rid of them right away. However, before you try to tackle the job yourself, you must determine if it would be better left in the hands of a professional exterminator.

The team at TAAP Pest Elimination is specially trained in the proper techniques for wasp, hornet, and bee removal. They offer Spencerport, NY, residents the most effective pest control solutions to eliminate current and future invasions. Here, they explain when it’s a good idea to call for the assistance of an exterminator to eradicate stinging insects from your home or business:

• During the Summer Months: While you may be able to take care of nests on your own in the winter, when they’re likely to be empty, the summer is a different story. The warmer months are when bees, wasps, and hornets thrive and can be found in droves. Attempting to take down a nest during this time of year is risky if you don’t have the experience or the right tools and protective gear. 
• When Chemicals Need to Be Applied: In some instances, wasps and hornets reside in burrows in the ground. This is likely to require insecticide to be applied inside the burrow, which can still be dangerous. Not only do you have to worry about getting stung, but you also need to be concerned about the chemicals in the insecticide. An exterminator will have all the necessary clothing and equipment to protect themselves, as well as knowledge of the appropriate products to use.
• If They Are Detected Inside Your Walls: If an infestation of stinging insects is detected inside your walls, the only way to effectively remove them will be with the high-grade products exterminators have access to. They can also identify how the pests got inside and take the necessary steps to prevent it from happening again.

Bees, wasps, and hornets can cause serious injuries if they aren’t handled correctly. You should never hesitate to hire an exterminator in any of the aforementioned situations.
