Bee and Wasp Control

Safely remove bees and wasps from your property with our expert control services, ensuring a sting-free environment for your family.

Protect Your Home with Professional Bee and Wasp Control

Since the mid-2000s, scientists have been deeply concerned about the mysterious disappearance of honeybees, a phenomenon known as “colony collapse.” Beginning in 2006, beekeepers reported significant losses, with 30-90 percent of hives vanishing without known causes of death. This is a serious issue, as honeybees are vital pollinators. Without them, U.S. farmers lose $15 billion worth of fruits, nuts, and vegetables each year.

When dealing with bees, any responsible exterminator will seek sustainable alternatives to extermination. Urban Shield Exterminators is dedicated to protecting our precious bees and often refers clients to experienced bee handlers who can relocate hives or nests safely away from your property. While sympathy for bees might not be your first thought when a swarm is buzzing in your backyard or inside your walls, it’s important to remember that bees are generally not aggressive and will only defend themselves if disturbed. Bee stings can be dangerous, especially for those with allergies, but we prioritize humane removal methods to prevent contributing to colony collapse. By working with you to remove the threat, we help ensure the survival of these crucial pollinators.

Understanding the Threat: Africanized “Killer” Bees

Identifying and Managing Aggressive Bee Species

Africanized “killer” bees, though identical in appearance to regular honeybees, exhibit more aggressive behavior due to a psychological component. They defend their nests more fiercely and react to perceived threats faster. Despite this aggression, they still produce honey and wax and possess the same level of venom as regular honeybees.

Eliminate Painful Stings and Protect Your Family

Brooklyn, like many other areas, can be home to various wasp species, including paper wasps (Polistes dominula). These wasps are easily recognizable by their distinctive hives and vivid yellow and black colors. They build their nests from plant material mixed with their saliva, creating a structure that looks like it’s made of paper.

Paper wasps often nest under the eaves of houses and can become aggressive if they feel threatened. Their stings are not only extremely painful but can also cause potentially fatal anaphylactic reactions. It’s crucial to handle wasp infestations carefully and professionally to avoid the risks associated with their stings.
