Investigation

The initial step in Orkin’s strategy involves a thorough inspection of the premises to identify the specific type of stinging insect and ascertain the extent of the infestation. Orkin professionals are trained to distinguish between various species of bees and wasps, recognizing their distinct nesting habits and behaviors. For instance, the approach to a honeybee infestation, which might involve relocation to preserve the species, differs significantly from handling aggressive wasps like yellow jackets or hornets. This careful identification ensures that the treatment plan is both effective and environmentally responsible.

Customized Solutions

Following a detailed investigation, Orkin devises a tailored treatment plan that caters to the specific needs of the customer and the identified stinging insect species. This customization is crucial, as the nesting locations, aggressiveness, and potential risks vary significantly between different types of bees and wasps. For example, treatments may range from the removal and relocation of bee hives to preserve their ecological benefits, to the eradication of wasp nests in high-risk areas to ensure human safety. The strategies employed take into account the insect’s life cycle, nesting habits, and the safety of the inhabitants of the property.

Safe and Effective Treatments

Orkin’s pest control solutions are grounded in science, utilizing proven methods and products to manage and eliminate stinging insects effectively. The treatment process is designed with utmost safety in mind, employing techniques that minimize risk to humans and pets. For wasps, Orkin specialists might apply treatments to nests directly, using protective gear and specialized equipment to prevent stings. In the case of bees, especially endangered species like honeybees, Orkin may collaborate with local beekeepers to safely relocate hives, ensuring the preservation of the bee population while addressing the client’s pest concerns.

Preventative Measures

To prevent future infestations, Orkin provides customers with recommendations tailored to deter stinging insects from nesting on the property again. These measures include sealing potential entry points to homes and buildings, reducing attractants like exposed food or garbage, and advising on landscape modifications that can make the environment less appealing to bees and wasps. Education plays a vital role in prevention, with Orkin professionals offering insights on how to coexist with beneficial species like bees and avoid attracting aggressive wasps.

Bee-Friendly Practices

We encourage creating habitats that are welcoming to bees. This includes planting native plants and wildflowers that provide bees with the nectar and pollen they need to thrive. Our experts can guide you on how to make your garden a haven for bees, contributing to their preservation and the health of our environment.

Removal and Relocation Services

When bees build their hives in less-than-ideal locations, it can pose risks to your family and the bees. Our trained professionals use safe and humane methods to remove and relocate honey bee hives, ensuring the bees can continue to play their role in nature without causing safety concerns for your family.
