Identify the differences between bees and wasps

Wasps and bees are easily confused from a distance or without close examination.  We don't offer a treatment service for bees, so it is important that you correctly identify the species of insect before booking, as there will be no refund offered.  If we come to your property to treat for wasps but bees are identified, we will give you advice.
