The buzzing of bees and wasps may just be a nuisance for some people, but for others, it could signal a life or death situation. Dealing with these stinging insects quickly and efficiently is a must for the safety of people with allergies, small children and pets.
While they pose a threat, bees are also essential to our ecosystem. That’s why the team at OzPest Solutions are always on-hand to help you out. Families call us to remove and control bees because we only use the safest pest control methods to protect your home, family, and the environment.
Seeing bees or wasps roaming around your garden, porch, or even indoors can be alarming. But it’s important to stay calm. Most species won’t hurt you unless you bother them, so it’s better to take a step back and assess the situation. Knowing a little more about these insects can help you decide what to do next.
Worker bees are around 12 mm long, furry, and mostly black with yellow bands. Workers venture from the hive, which is found in hollow trees, roof spaces, and wall cavities.
Paper wasps have a small head, with medium sized eyes and medium length antennae. The body is slender, with a very narrow waist. There are two pairs of brown-tinted wings, with the first pair larger. The abdomen has some yellow/orange bands, but is mainly black.
12 mm to 17 mm long and black and yellow. They are more aggressive than native wasps and bees and can sting repeatedly. Their nests can be found in holes, trees, retaining walls, rubbish, wall cavities, rooves, and compost heaps.
Although we usually learn about bees living in huge social groups (like the European honeybee), Australian native bees are usually solitary. Like bees, wasp behaviours are different depending on the species. For example, some are social, and some are solitary, and different species will have different nests.
