Hygiene pest

Bees such as hornets and paper wasps often nest in or near people's homes.
It is.
These bees are beneficial insects that eat grassy insects.
Nests that have been formed in a place where there is no damage to your life until it gets cold and bee activity stops.
Nests are used only for one year and will not be reused after the following year.
However, nesting in a place close to us can be dangerous insects.
Check around the house in April or June when bees begin to build their nests.

Health and Welfare Center does not exterminate nests, but we provide consultation on hornets and paper wasps, guide the extermination company, and lend protective clothing and extermination equipment when extermination is performed on your own.
In addition, since hornets are highly aggressive, we recommend that you ask a specialist to get rid of nests.
Please make sure to check in advance, such as taking an estimate in advance.
If you do not know the extermination agent, please contact Health and Welfare Center.

Bees have the habit of taking a part of the worker bee and nesting elsewhere as the number of bees increases in their nests. This is called bee splitting.
In addition, there is a habit of gathering on tree branches until a new nest location is found at this time.
In the case of bee separation, many bees may fly off and be surprised, but the bees at this time are quiet and often find a new nest location in a few days and fly away, so please watch quietly .

Health and Welfare Center provides consultation on the control of rats and pests that cause damage at home and rents out mouse baskets.
