In El Dorado County, the stinging insects are flourishing. Bees, hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets are all on the move right now. Even if you are not allergic, the sting is painful!

Since there are so many flying around right now, a few are bound to somehow get in. Be prepared! Have your sprays, papertowels, or flyswatters ready to do business.

 

How are they getting in?


Common ways these insect are getting into your home.

  • No screens / holes in screens
  • Doors are left open
  • Insect screens are not installed correctly
  • Check what you carry in
  • Poor weather stripping

 

These are just a few ideas. You may have some ideas yourself.

 I notice that if I run the whole house fan, the number of bugs increase. I may be sucking them in with the fan.

So if you live in El Dorado County and you are experiencing an increase in bees, hornets, wasps and yellow jackets check to see how they are getting into your home.

Tom, they certainly do get in, we had a massive wasp nest in our main floor joists, against the outer wall, we found it the year we renovated the basement! Luckily it was winter and we had already sprayed that nest in the fall but it was still scary getting it out... as you can see it is almost the width of the span between joists. Pretty huge!

Now I'm not an expert Peg but I remember this nest pattern. I saw a massive nest that filled the entire back side of a tub/shower. They had gotten in a small hole in the siding.

The odor was horrible, that's why the search began. The exterminator referred to them as "meat bees". You may have experienced them while camping, they literally eat meat. the nest that we had on the job smelled like rotted meat.

It was not fun, but the nest was beautiful in design.

We have a large swarm of honey bees swarm into a tree in our backyard last week. They have returned every year for the last three years Jane.
