Bee and Wasp Prevention, Finger Lakes, NY
Because many of these insects are beneficial, removal is discouraged unless a nest has been built on your home, garage, shed, or other structure. Avoid wearing strong-smelling fragrances that may attract bees and wasps, and turn off outside lights at night to prevent them from approaching your home. Keep trash cans clean and tightly sealed, and seal open areas of playground equipment where a nest could be constructed.
To avoid an ongoing bee and wasp problem after professional treatment, periodically check the eaves of your home and other hidden areas for nests and hives. If you notice one, contact Custom Pest Control immediately for removal. Attempting to remove a bee or wasp nest yourself can result in dozens of stings and even a trip to the emergency room.

How to Identify Bees and Wasps
Because some stinging insects are more dangerous than others, it’s important to determine what type of infestation you have.
- Bumblebees are fuzzy, black and yellow, and less than 1 inch long. They pollinate flowers and aren’t much of a threat.
- Carpenter bees are wood burrowing insects that resemble bumblebees but do not live in hives. They can cause serious structural damage to your home.
- Honeybees are about a half-inch long and brown or black in color. They do not pose a threat to humans unless their nest is attacked. Should you think that you have a honeybee nest in or around your home, call Custom Pest Control for safe removal.
- Paper wasps, which are brown or yellow with red markings, are named after the material they use to build nests. Although they don’t usually sting, it’s crucial to remove the nest from your property to avoid an attack.
