Cincinnati Bee Control

Cincinnati & Dayton’s #1 Bee Control and Extermination Company

Ohio is home to about 500 species of bees, and they can be a nuisance during the warmer months of the year. Bees can be especially troublesome when they decide to live in or around your home. If you’re dealing with nuisance bees, leave the job to TRS extermination, the Cincinnati bee control experts.

Bees vs. Wasps

Bees are often confused with wasps. They’re both flying insects and share similar coloring, so this confusion makes sense. You can tell them apart by remembering that wasps have narrow waists, while bees have thicker midsections. Some common types of bees you could encounter include:

  • Honey bees: Honey Bees are orangish brown or black, and they’re 1⁄2 to5⁄8 inch long. As social insects, they live in large colonies with as many as 80,000 members.
  • Bumble bees: These black and yellow bees are up to one inch long. Their round bodies are covered in hair, giving them an overall fuzzy appearance. They often live in abandoned mouse nests.
  • Carpenter bees: Carpenter bees look like bumble bees, but they don’t have as much hair. The tops of their abdomens are shiny and bare. Unlike other bees, they don’t live in colonies or nests.

Threats Posed by Bees

Bees are important pollinators, and many plants depend on bees to reproduce. While bees are essential to the ecosystem, they can pose threats to people.

If you get too close to a nest, bees can become defensive and attack. A single sting can be an emergency for someone who’s allergic, while a large number of bee stings can be serious for anyone. When bees are living in or around a home, it’s easy to inadvertently get too close.

Bees can pose risks to structures, too. Carpenter bees drill into wood to create galleries, and if a large number of bees is present, the damage can be serious. Honey bees may live inside buildings, and if these nests are abandoned, the honey and honeycomb will melt, causing damage to the walls.

How to Control Bees

To keep bees from coming back, plug or screen any gaps that bees could use to gain entry to your home. Cracks in the walls or under the eaves are prime locations for bee entry, so pay attention to these areas.

Bees are common warm weather pests in Ohio, and they can be dangerous. Due to their endangered status and importance as pollinators, it’s important save as many bees as possible. For help controlling bees in and around your home, turn to the Cincinnati bee control specialists at TRS Extermination.
