Bumble bees are important pollinators but can become a problem when they nest near your home or in locations that put people at risk. XtermaPro handles bumble bee situations professionally and responsibly.
Bumble bees are large, robust, and fuzzy easy to distinguish from the slender yellow jacket or wasp. They nest in the ground, in abandoned rodent burrows, compost bins, and occasionally in wall voids or under sheds. Colonies are relatively small (50–500 bees) compared to wasps and are generally docile unless the nest is directly threatened.
Signs of bumble bee nesting activity:
While bumble bees are not naturally aggressive, they will sting if their nest is disturbed or if they feel threatened and unlike honeybees, they can sting more than once. People with bee sting allergies face serious risk. Nests in high-traffic areas near children or pets should be dealt with professionally.
We assess each bumble bee situation individually. Where possible and practical, we advise on approaches that address the immediate safety concern. For nests in walls, under structures, or in locations posing genuine risk, we perform professional treatment to protect your family.
