Treatment to the cavity wall will eliminate the bees, however the temperature of the honey they will form is regulated by the bees. Once they are dead the honey (if the hive has been active for a long period of time) will run down inside the wall cavity possibly creating a problem by attracting ants and cockroaches.
Notes:
- Quick treatment by a professional pest controller is required
- If you have an allergy to bees / wasps take care to avoid the area of activity
Bees can establish hives inside wall cavities which requires treatment quickly as some people are highly allergic to bee stings which can cause death.
September and October are the main months where bees tend to create a problem in and around buildings due to swarming. Bees can become very aggressive if disturbed, so do not spray them with aerosols or try to knock down an active hive. Our technicians are trained to treat bees effectively whilst wearing personal protective equipment to minimize any risk.
Only native honey bees do not sting, so treatment of this species is not necessary.
Wasps unlike bees will not die after stinging and can sting several times. They are also commonly mistaken for bees as they have similar colouring as shown in the photos above. Nests can be found in locations such as wall ventilators, tree cavities, retaining walls, brick cavities and are treated directly using a spray. The two species most common to Sydney are the Paper wasp and the European wasps. European wasps are much more dangerous and should be avoided, do not try to identify the wasp species as you will most likely be stung.
