Hygiene pests

Bees such as hornets and wasps often build nests near or near human homes.
It's okay.
These bees are beneficial insects that eat harmful insects from grass trees.
Nests that have been created in a place without difficulty in life should be kept gently until they become cold and the activities of the bee stop.
The nest is used only for one year and will not be re-used after the following year.
However, nesting in a place close to us can be dangerous insects.
Inspect the area around the house from April to June when bees start nesting.

In Health and Welfare Center, we do not exterminate nests, but we provide consultation on hornets and wasps, guidance to exterminators, and lend protective clothing and equipment for extermination.
In addition, since hornets are highly aggressive, we recommend that you ask a professional when removing nests.
Please check carefully, such as taking a look in advance, before requesting.
If you don't know the exterminator, please contact Health and Welfare Center.

Bees have the habit of nesting where the number of bees increases in the nest, the female bee takes a part of the worker bee and nests in another place. This is called a bee.
Also, at this time, there is a habit of gathering on tree branches until a new nest location is found.
In the case of bees, many bees may fly off and be surprised, but the bees at this time are quiet, and often find a new nest location in several days and fly away, so please watch them quietly .

In Health and Welfare Center, we provide consultation on the control of rats and pests that can cause damage at home and lend a basket to capture rats.
