Wasps vs Bees: Know What You're Dealing With
Wasps and bees are often confused, but they need very different treatment. Getting this right matters, both for effective treatment and for local pollinators.
Wasp Nests
Wasp nests are usually paper-like in texture and grow rapidly through the summer months. Once a nest is active, it won’t resolve on its own and treatment is the safest option for people nearby.
Bees and Bumblebees
Bees are protected pollinators and, wherever possible, we relocate rather than destroy them. If you’re unsure whether you’re dealing with wasps or bees, our free survey will confirm it before any treatment begins.
