Preserving Harmony with Responsible Pest Control during Bee Season
Swarming generally occurs from early May to July. Environmental cues, such as temperature, humidity, and the availability of nectar and pollen, can also influence swarming behavior. Spring and early summer, when resources are abundant, are common times for swarms to occur. This is when honey harvesting starts and nectar collection is at its highest.
Every creature plays a crucial role in maintaining balance. Among these, bees stand out as unsung heroes, diligently pollinating desert flora and contributing to the ecosystem’s resilience. However, in our efforts to control pests, we inadvertently pose a threat to these vital pollinators. Let’s explore how we can navigate pest control in the desert while safeguarding the well-being of bees.
Understanding the Importance of Bees in the Desert
How To Safely Remove and Prevent Bee Hives Around Your Tucson Home during Bee Season
While bees are essential for pollination and a thriving ecosystem, their presence near your home can cause concern, especially if you have allergies to bees. In this case, bees can pose significant threats to you, your kids, and your pets.
When bees discover your property offers them reliable food sources or sheltered nesting sites, they won’t hesitate to swarm and take advantage. Fortunately, we are here to help. We are Conquistador Pest & Termite, experts in Tucson home pest control. Call us today to learn more about what we can do to protect you and your family from bees.
Natural Bee Repellents: Eco-Friendly Ways To Keep Bees At Bay
If you want to deter bees from nesting near your home without causing harm to them, consider using natural bee repellents. These eco-friendly methods can help keep bees at bay:
- Cucumber slices
- Peppermint oil
- Basil
- Tea tree oil
- Eucalyptus
- Citronella candles
Planting bee-repelling flowers like marigolds, geraniums, and mint around your home can also deter bees from nesting in your garden.
Professional Bee Control Services: When To Call In The Experts
While natural repellents can be effective, there are times when it’s best to call in the experts. If you have an active bee infestation or find a beehive on your property, do not try to remove it on your own. Bees and other stinging insects will react aggressively if they feel you are threatening their nest, which can lead to painful stings for you and everyone around you.
Instead, contact us for professional stinging insect control in Tucson. We train our experts to remove beehives from your home safely. Not only will we protect you and your family, we will protect the bees and their valuable contributions to our ecosystem.
That’s why we recommend hiring professional exterminators from Conquistador Pest & Termite Inc. (BUS #2022 | QP 1289) because we have done the research and have the experience and knowledge needed to safely control bees during bee season.
