Wasps and bees come out in full force in the spring and summer months and if you are allergic or have a fear of them, they can make spending time outside stressful. Nests are often well hidden, and you or a family member can inadvertently disturb one and find yourself with multiple painful stings. If you have seen wasps or bees around your home or property, now is a great time to treat the area around your home so that you can enjoy the summer months
There are many varieties of wasps that inhabit Minnesota, and the ones that usually become pests are those that live in colonies. In wasp colonies, female wasps are dominant and perform all duties within the nest. Some wasps are predatory wasps and others are parasitic. Predatory wasps kill and consume other insects as well as other animals. Parasitic wasps lay their eggs in a host body, usually creatures like caterpillars and spiders. Wasps can assist in the management of other pests, particularly in agriculture as biological control agents. Many wasps also feed on nectar from flowers and therefore function as pollinators. Some species of wasps are aggressive and have the ability to sting multiple times when threatened unlike honeybees.
Bees are extremely active this time of year. They buzz all around us at the park, on the baseball and soccer fields and even in our own lawns. They look for the perfect place to nest and then they are extremely difficult to get rid of. If you have a bee or wasp problem on your commercial or residential property, call Eco Tech, a leading Minneapolis Pest Control Company for assistance. Our team can locate and eliminate bees and wasps at the source — their nest, so that you do not have to battle them all summer long.
