Bees make their hives in the most convenient place for their colony, but that place is not always convenient for you. When you find a bee hive in your attic or your yard, you cannot approach the bees on your own. Each step you take after making the discovery will determine whether your encounter with the bees has a positive outcome or not. Contacting an experienced New Jersey bee exterminator can assess the hive and safely remove the nest from your property.
Do Not Antagonize Them
Swatting at bees and trying to destroy their hive is not a good decision. Bees can swarm if they feel provoked, but most bees can fly around whatever you are swinging at them. Also, going to the hive directly could send out an army of bees that you did not realize were inside. The colony is a family, and bees will fight to protect their family.
Do Not Remove Them Yourself
Trying to get the beehive out of your attic or a tree may seem easy, but the bees will swarm as soon as they feel movement inside the hive. You could be stung many times if you are not careful. Plus, you may run across bees that are more aggressive. If you feel that you can handle a couple bee stings, you must multiply that number by ten if you approach the hive on your own.
Importance of Keeping Children and Pets Safe from Bees
When your pets and kids are playing outside and find a beehive, they may not know what to do. If they find a beehive, you must make sure to keep them away from the hive in the future. If you discover the hive, kids and pets need to be kept away from the hive until a bee removal New Jersey expert can come out.
Pets will not know what to do if they find the hive. Dogs especially will want to play with the hive and may not know to run away if the bees swarm them. Too many bee stings could be fatal to dogs and cats that are much smaller than the average human.
Likewise, children may not know what to do if they are swarmed by a hive of bees. People who are allergic could go into shock, and you do not want your children to have such a traumatic experience.
There are a several symptoms that may alert you if you are having an allergic reaction to the venom, such as:
- Trouble breathing
- Itching, hives, or swelling of areas stung by bees
- Dizziness
- Stomach cramps
- Nausea or diarrhea
