The CDC recently released a report that stated that the seemingly harmless bee was responsible for more deaths in the U.S. that any other animal. Approximately 100 people are killed in the United States by bees every year. The report included statements that it is believed by some that many bee-related deaths are missed and attributed to natural causes. This may not seem like a number that is large enough to really worry about, but it should concern people. These statistics are only reporting deaths and are not including the numerous people hospitalized by stings and the many others that suffer the discomfort of their painful stings.
Insect Control in Pittsburgh PA is helpful, but it is not a one-time solution. Many homeowners will need to be vigilant about identifying when pests are around and do what is necessary to eliminate them before an infestation occurs. There are many reasons why people should take notice when the pests they are seeing are bees. Many people ignore the problem if no one in their family has an allergy, but bees are a concern to everyone. It is necessary to have some flying around because of the service they provide through pollination. However, once a hive is established, and the colony begins to grow there are risks.
One risk is the obvious worry of stings happening to children, pets and people working in the yard. A single bee sting is painful enough for people to not want to risk another. When a hive is nearby the chance of aggression increases. People walking near a hive and loud noises like lawnmowers are enough to agitate bees around a hive and cause the unfortunate people nearby to receive numerous stings.
An additional concern is when hives are built inside homes. The honey that accumulates inside the walls, and the additional pests attracted to the honey, can cause extensive damage if the hive is not removed and the mess cleared away. Insect Control in Pittsburgh PA has to be done carefully to avoid harming the environment and the home and yard where the pests are located. Hiring professionals like The-Beeman rather than attempting to do this delicate job alone will ensure a much greater chance of success and make the property safer for everyone.
