Bees and Wasps
Wasp and Bee Control in Sacramento and Lake Tahoe
Stinging insects like bees and wasps can pose serious safety risks, especially for individuals allergic to their stings. Ace Ventura Pest & Wildlife Control works to eliminate this danger with our Sacramento pest control services specially designed for these buzzing troublemakers.
The Problem with Bees & Wasps
Whether you’re spending time in your yard or visiting a local business in Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, the presence of aggressive wasps can quickly turn an enjoyable day into a stressful experience. Bees and wasps can give you a hard time with:
Painful Stings: Both bees and wasps deliver painful stings, which can cause swelling, redness, and discomfort.
Allergic Reactions: A sting can lead to life-threatening reactions, including anaphylaxis for those allergic to bee and wasp venom.
Aggressive Behavior: Wasps, especially yellowjackets, become territorial and aggressive when they feel their nest is threatened, posing a greater risk of multiple stings.
Nesting in Inconvenient Locations: Bees and wasps may build nests in walls, under eaves, in attics, or even underground, making removal difficult and dangerous.
Damage to Property: Carpenter bees can damage wood structures like decks, siding, and fences by burrowing into the wood, causing long-term structural damage.
Signs of a Bee and Wasp Problem
Bees and wasps are usually easy to spot, but if you're worried about their presence, stay alert and conscious of:
Nests: Wasps and bees often build nests in trees, under eaves, inside wall voids, or underground.
Increased Activity: Seeing more bees or wasps than usual around your property often indicates a nearby nest.
Buzzing Noises: Persistent buzzing sounds, particularly in walls or ceilings, may indicate a hidden nest.
- Damage to Wood: Carpenter bees leave round holes in wood surfaces like decks, siding, or fences.
How Wasp and Bee Control Works
Inspection
Though it’s easy to spot nests, our team performs a thorough inspection to identify all potential areas where bees and wasps may be nesting, including hidden or hard-to-reach spots like attic spaces, eaves, and under porches.
Treatment Plan
Based on the type of insect and the location of the nest, we develop a that is as effective as it is safe.
Nest Removal
Treatments are applied carefully indoors and in outdoor areas where fleas and ticks are likely to hide, breaking their life cycles to prevent future generations.
Preventive Measures
We offer tips and treatments to prevent future infestations, such as sealing entry points, removing attractants, and advising on effective maintenance practices to keep bees and wasps from returning.
The Difference Between Bees and Wasps
Bees and wasps may seem similar at first glance, but they have distinct roles in our ecosystems and impact our lives in very different ways. Bees are essential pollinators, helping fertilize plants, including many of the crops humans rely on for food, making them incredibly beneficial to both agriculture and biodiversity. Wasps, on the other hand, are nuisances without the redeeming qualities.
Pest control is necessary when bees establish nests in inconvenient or unsafe locations, such as within walls or ceilings, as they pose a threat to people with allergies. Wasps require immediate attention when they create nests near high-traffic areas or show signs of aggression.
