Ecologically Safe Bee Control

During the warm summer months of bee season, protecting the environment and bee control should go hand in hand. Bees have an immense impact on our own ecological system; removal, rather than extermination, helps preserve the environment and protect the earth.

Warm temperatures and nice weather mean bee season, and in southern and coastal counties like Devon, bee season can extend well into October. When faced with a hive in or around the house, think twice about calling an exterminator to eliminate a bee problem.

Killing bees harms both our ecological system and disrupts our food chain. Expert bee control companies, such as Swift Pest Control relocate hives instead of exterminating them, thus protecting the environment.

Bees don't always pose a direct threat, and in order to keep both yourself and our bee friends safe, you should try to adhere to the following advice:

• Do not poke or spray them with anything including water, over the counter poisons or pest control sprays. This can make the hive aggravated and more likely to sting.
• If you see a bee, do not swat at it. Bees that are out and about are not on the attack, they are simply smelling, exploring or searching for food. Swatting at them will make them feel in danger and increase your chance of being stung.
• Walk slowly and stay calm. Your heightened anxiety is naturally transmitted to other animals, including bees. If you remain calm and cool, chances are the bee will simply leave you alone.
• Bees are attracted to dark clothing. This, combined with quick movements and threatening gestures, scares bees and increases your chance of being stung.

It is estimated that one third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination, most of which is accomplished by honey bees, especially the domesticated Western honey bees. Committed professionals at Swift Pest Control are dedicated to maintaining the public's safety through bee control, while at the same time protecting the environment.

While environmentally friendly pesticides are great for exterminating cockroaches and ants, regular exterminators should not be used for bee control. It is much preferred if a honey bee problem is taken care of via a live bee removal and relocation service, rather than eradicate them altogether.

We also understand the dangers associated with having a live bee hive in or near your house, which is why our technicians are expertly skilled at removing them.
