In New York and New Jersey, it is estimated to be 477 species of bees. And Spring begins their active season, which can last through Fall depending on the species. Bees are important to the environment and help pollinate flowers, but they can spell trouble to a home-owner.
Female bees start the Spring by building nests and underground tunnels. They also begin colonizing in your walls or attics. All they need are an easy access into your home, like wall outlets or chimneys. Unchecked, they can damage your home.
And if you get them excited, they’ll swarm and chase you, even in Manhattan. Bee stings hurt, and if you’re highly allergic, they can kill you.
Pesticides will kill a bee colony, but at what cost? The poisons that are strong enough to kill them, are strong enough to harm your family, pets and your garden. Luckily, there is a new generation of exterminators who take an environmentally safe approach to pest control. By using biocides, there’s little risk to your health and the environment.
