Factors To Consider When Selecting A Bee Removal Service
As summer gets underway homeowners will be contemplating those warm, long lazy days in the yard, in the company of family and friends. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy the feeling of the sun on the skin, fresh air, and the rejuvenating possibilities of simply enjoying being outdoors in nature.
However, there may be a fly in the ointment of enjoyment, courtesy of other garden lovers – in this case, bees.
Bees are essential and the low drone of their work pollinating flowers and keeping our ecosystems in good shape is widely appreciated. However, when bees are on the move in search of a new location for their hive they can pose very real dangers to the homeowner and their family.
Aside from the highly aggressive ‘Killer Bee’ that is spreading across the United States, there is the simple honeybee, but even these can be dangerous, although they do not rival the Killer Bee in sheer tenacity and aggressiveness – they are bees that will hunt you down over miles and sting in enormous numbers.
If you notice that a hive has been established n your property then it’s time to call in the professionals from a bee removal service. It is strongly recommended that you do not attempt the removal of a hive on the property as a DIY project. That approach is extremely dangerous for you, your family, and your pets. Numerous injuries are reported by emergency departments in hospitals all over the country due to individuals attempting to remove hives from their properties.
Calling in the professionals is simply the right choice. The teams that remove problem hives have many years of experience – and will have the correct equipment to ensure that the bees are removed from the property safely and with a minimum of fuss and bother.
Finding the right bee removal service can be a challenge – what are the factors that you should take into account prior to selecting a service provider?
Firstly, ensure that the bee removal service has a spotless reputation. Take some time to ask around for recommendations, or pay a visit to one of the many review sites that can be found on the Internet. Chances are that there is at least one where consumers (and homeowners) can leave candid reviews of local removal service providers.
Also, take the time to investigate exactly what types of services the company offers. For instance, do they specialize in eco-friendly bee removal? This is becoming increasingly important – bees are under threat and any steps to preserve bee populations are the right approaches to take. Also make sure that if they are going to use any chemicals to remove (or in a worse care scenario – destroy) the hive, that these chemicals will not harm the environment.
In a nutshell, bees can be dangerous if they set up a hive on your property. They are also at the foundation of the health of every ecosystem – so they are essential. If you have a hive on your property call in the professionals. It’s better for you, your family – and the natural world.
