Bumblebees are one of the most well-known insects because of their distinctive black and yellow stripes. However, they’re also known for their deadly sting, which they use to defend themselves against predators. If a nest is disturbed, a single Bumblebee can sting multiple times, so it is a no brainer why people do not want these pests around the home because it risks your families’ well-being or, worse, your unsuspecting kids. 

Sometimes Bumblebees will make their nests in lofts, garages, cupboards, or even behind fascia boards. Please keep in mind that the places listed are not limited. You can go on the assumption that they can nest anywhere around your property. So when residents have a problem with a Bumblebee nest somewhere, they can call the local Bumble Bee exterminator for help instead of getting stung by the bees!

It’s important to know that even though Bumble Bees are insects, their sting is much more potent than other bees.
