Wasps and honey bees are often confused for one another since both are capable of giving painful stings. While honey bees will only attack when provoked, wasps will naturally attack more often. Honey bees can sting only once and die after stinging, however, a single wasp is capable of stinging multiple times. Unlike most wasps that hibernate during the winter season and build a new nest the following autumn, honey bees do not hibernate, as they live on food reserves and heat accumulated by thousands of workers. Wasp species cannot produce honey like bees do.

Identifying the difference between honey bees and wasps is important in order to administer appropriate pest control. As wasps cannot be moved as they will always return to the original site of their nest. The only way to get rid of wasps is to completely exterminate them in their nests. (Do not attempt this yourself unless you don’t mind getting stung!) Bees however, which come in swarms from their original nest, are collected by our Bee Control experts and are released in a different place and would only be killed in very rare situations.

Been Getting  Bites at night? It may be bed bugs at work.

Bed bugs which are flat, reddish-brown, oval insects can grow up to 4 to 5 mm long or the size of an apple seed.  They feed on your blood and are more active at night when the host is asleep. Their bites can produce rashes and visible blistering, as well as allergic reactions with some people.

Bed bugs can be found in any crack and corner, including mattress seams, sheets, furniture, behind baseboards. You can pick up bed bugs from almost anywhere and once indoors, they can be very difficult to control. Unfortunately, once an infestation has spread, there is no effective DIY method to control them. It’s vital to catch the infestation early.

working to get rid of bedbugs can very hard, as the cost of time and money spent on preventative measures and replacing mattresses often doesn’t provide the answer.
