Q and L was quick to respond and incredibly effective in remedying a termite issue. I could not recommend them enough.
Bees and Wasps
Palm Beach County yards stay productive for bees and wasps almost all year. Most of these insects are helpful pollinators, but a colony in a wall, soffit, meter box or play area is a safety issue that needs professional treatment.
Florida has over 320 species of bees and about 42 types of wasps throughout the state. These insects’ range in many different sizes and colors. Overall, these insects serve a great purpose as pollinators who help the diverse landscapes stay beautiful year-round. When these insects begin to interfere with people’s safety is when we can be of help, if you are having a bee or wasp issue, please reach out today so we can quickly take care of the problem.
In our area, colonies often set up in roof voids, soffits and wall cavities on both CBS and older wood-frame homes, especially after a warm winter.
Bees
Bees are a necessary insect that are essential for pollination which is vital for all life on the planet. They help plants reproduce which allows for these plants to create food and other resources for mankind. When bees enter a home though they can cause significant damage if left untreated. Bees have been known to make hives in the wall voids inside homes, when this happens honey is also made. After a colony in a wall has been treated, the honey and comb are left behind. We don’t physically remove hives or comb, but we can refer you to a qualified professional for hive removal. This honey will then begin to rot and cause damage to the property (honey-soaked drywall, insects lured in for honey, etc.). Bees are important pollinators, so we treat problem colonies and can refer you to a qualified professional for hive removal.
Wasps
Generally, the wasps most homeowners encounter in South Florida is the paper wasp. These types of wasps create nests that are usually shaped like a honeycomb, usually these nests are under the soffits of a home or in similar locations. If these insects feel threatened, they will sting until they feel the threat has passed. Small children, pets and the elderly are most at risk from these pesky insects. These wasps can look very similar to bees to the untrained eye, so it is best to avoid them if you happen to see them flying around.
