Can the anti-hornet and wasp product be used near hives or bee colonies?
Bees are essential pollinators for biodiversity and food production, but hornets and wasps can pose a threat to their colonies. In an ongoing commitment to providing environmentally friendly pest control solutions, a recurring customer question is the safety of the hornet and wasp control product when used near hives or bee colonies . Given the vital importance of bees for pollination and biodiversity, it is essential to ensure that pest control methods do not harm them.
The anti-hornet and wasp treatment has been specifically formulated with this concern in mind. The extensive research and rigorous testing carried out before its release ensures that it effectively targets hornets and wasps without affecting bees, other beneficial insects or the environment. This was possible through the identification of active components that have minimal impact on non-target species, while remaining highly effective against targeted pest species.
Hornets and wasps: a threat to bee colonies
Hornets and wasps are natural predators of bees. They can attack bee colonies to feed on their honey and larvae. Asian hornets, in particular, are known to cause significant damage to bee colonies. However, it is important to protect bees because they play a crucial role in plant pollination and food production.
Is the hornet and wasp repellent product safe for bees?
The Hornet and Wasp Control product is designed to specifically target hornets and wasps, not bees. The active ingredients used in the product are selective and do not pose a danger to bees when used correctly.
Safety tests, carried out in collaboration with entomology experts and beekeepers, showed that no harmful effects were observed on bees when the treatment was used as directed. These instructions include recommendations on the best time of application (ideally during hours when bees are less active) and advice to avoid direct application to or in the immediate vicinity of hives. It is important to take certain precautions as well to avoid harming the bees when using the treatment.
Precautions to take to protect bees
To protect bees when using the anti-hornet and wasp product, it is recommended to take the following precautions:
- Avoid spraying the product directly on bees or blooming flowers.
- Avoid treating hornet or wasp nests located near hives or bee colonies.
- Treat hornet or wasp nests early in the morning or evening, when bees are less active.
- Use selective hornet or wasp traps, which do not attract bees.
Other methods to protect bee colonies
There are other methods to protect bee colonies from hornets and wasps, such as:
- Install anti-hornet screens on hives to prevent hornets from entering them.
- Use lures to attract hornets and wasps away from hives.
- Plant hornet and wasp repellent plants, such as lemongrass or thyme.
