Bees are essential to our ecosystem, but having a bee infestation in your home is an entirely different story. Not only can they be intrusive and irritating, but they can also pose a risk to your health and safety. In Arizona, where the weather is conducive to bees, having a professional bee pest control service on speed dial is crucial. So, Wagner Pest Solutions is dropping the top five signs you need to call us.
1. Increased Bee Sightings
If you start noticing increased bees in and around your home, it clearly indicates a bee infestation. One or two bees might not be a cause for alarm, but if you notice a swarm of bees or a sudden increase in bee activity, it’s time to call in the professionals.
2. Beehive Sightings
Bees typically build their hives in secluded areas like the roof, walls, or underside of your porch. Spotting a bee hive is an obvious sign that you have a bee infestation. Avoid trying to disturb the hive or remove it yourself, as this can be dangerous and lead to severe bee stings. Instead, call on the professional bee pest control services from Wagner Pest Solutions.
3. Unusual Bee Behavior
If you observe unusual bee behavior, like bees flying inside your home or buzzing around your patio furniture for extended periods, there may be a bee infestation in your home. Bees that seem aggressive or agitated may also indicate the presence of a threat to their hive. This is especially true if the bees infesting your home are the Africanized Honey Bee.
4. Honey or Wax Buildup
If you notice honey or wax buildup on the walls or ceilings of your home, it’s a sign of bees. Honey is acidic and can cause damage, leading to costly repairs. Wax can also be challenging to remove once it’s had some time to remain in place.
5. Strange Odors
Noticeable, peculiar smells like sweet and musty scents indicate that there is a build-up of honeycomb or wax in your home. Remember, honey left for prolonged periods attracts vermin and is detrimental to your health and an embarrassment.
