About bees

Every year, from July to October.
"The bees have made their nests, what shall we do?"
A consultation is sent to Health and Welfare Center every day.

Bees that often nest at home include hornets and paper wasps.
Wasp and paper wasps are beneficial insects that catch and eat pests on plants and plants.
However, nesting in a place close to us can be dangerous insects.

Bees that often nest at home include hornets and paper wasps.

Main characteristics of nests

• The shape of the nest is ball type
• It is covered with a marbled outer coat.
• One burrow

Main characteristics of nests

• The shape of the nest is a lotus root
• There is no outer cover and burrows are exposed.
• A lot of burrows can be seen from below

Every year from July to October, consultations are sent to Health and Welfare Center every day, "What should I do?"
At that time, the nests are often getting bigger, and you have to entrust extermination to a specialized contractor, which costs a considerable amount of money.
Until the first worker bee emerges from April to June, it is a time when nesting is nesting with one queen bee, so if you can find the nest during that time, you can exterminate relatively safe and costly. .
In order to reduce the cost burden as much as possible, make sure to check places where nests are easy to build (see "Places to Create nests") in early spring (April to June)!

Places where nests are easy to build

• Inside the ceiling, in the wall (hornet only)
• Under the floor, in the door pocket (wap only)
• Inside fences and plantations
• In a wooden cave (hornet only)

Let's deal with it while you're small! If the nest is left as it is, the nest will grow larger and the number of worker bees will increase. In that case, it becomes difficult to get rid of it, and it costs money to get rid of it.

Health and Welfare Center does not exterminate nests, but we provide consultation on hornets and paper wasps, provide guidance to extermination companies, and lend protective clothing and extermination equipment when exterminating yourself. For more information, please contact Health and Welfare Center Health Sanitation Division.
For information about bees, please refer to the leaflet "Beware of beehives! (PDF: 1,791KB) ”(updated in June 2022).

For insecticide, please purchase something exclusively for bee removal or flies and flies (including pyrethroids as active ingredients) at a nearby supermarket or pharmacy.
Recently, insecticide exclusively for bee controlling bees has been sold. The injection power is strong, and the drug injects linearly about 3 to 5 meters. If the drug hits it, the bee will eventually fall (be careful as some injection time may be short.) 。
When using insecticide, be sure to inform nearby houses and nearby people that they will use chemicals to control bees.
For more information on extermination of paper wasps, please see the page on "Waste Eradication".
