Bees
Bees are winged insects with more than 20,000 recorded species found globally. Bees can be black or brown with red, yellow or lustrous blue stripes. Megachile pluto, the largest of these creatures, is reported to be 3.9 cm long, while Perdita minima, the most diminutive of bees, are shorter than 2 mm long.
How to inspect bees’ existence?
Even without training in pest control, there are some common-sense steps you can take to determine what kind of response is needed for a bee population near your home.
- Know the Type of Bee
The species we’ve discussed have different behaviors and different kinds of nesting or hives. For example, you won’t see a honeybee attempting to drill its way through wood, a trait associated with carpenter bees.
- Repair and De-clutter
Bees look for sites of convenience for building their homes near yours. To care for your property, check for obvious entry points like gaps in siding or holes in wood.
- Know the Signs of Infestation
Secure open food in containers and make sure your cabinets and floors are clear of crumbs and other food scraps. If you must leave pet food out in a bowl, place vinegar water around the bowl so you’re interfering with the food smell and discouraging ants from crossing the barrier.
