Bees - Pest Control

There are many different species of bees in New Jersey. Although Pest Control of Jackson NJ does not exterminate bees, we do exterminate wasps and hornets which many people mistaken for bees. Bees are beneficial for our environment as they are chief pollinators, allowing our plants and trees to blossom and grow. In New Jersey, honey bees are a protected species and it is therefore illegal to kill off or exterminate them.

  • How can I tell the difference between bees, wasps and hornets?

    The biggest difference between bees, wasps, and hornets is the bee has a wider, hairy body and they can only sting once in their life time. Wasps and hornets have thinner bodies, are mostly hairless, and can sting multiple times. 

  • What can I do if I find a bee nest inside my home?

    Although it is illegal to exterminate honey bees in New Jersey, it is legal to relocate them. A professional pest control company like Pest Control of Jackson NJ can delicately relocate the bee nest to a more convenient location for both the bees and your family.
