| FUMAPEST Advice on Pest Control for Bee Swarms |

Bees are venomous - sometimes deadly - when they swarm |

Common problem: Bees swarms are often a serious problem during spring and summer. When the hive becomes too big, it splits in two, with a large group and their newly developed queen, swarming to establish a new hive. It is common to find them setting up inside a wall cavity of a residential building.
Extremely aggressive: A swarm of bees can be aggressive if disturbed and may attack a person in large numbers - sometimes but rarely causing death. The venom of bees is highly toxic and may cause hideous swelling of the skin, particularly of children and people with a fair complexion.
Allergic reaction: Some people are highly allergic to the venom of bees. People have died due to the allergic rection. In any case, extreme care should be taken by the home owner to avoid bees in a swarm. |

Be Careful in selecting a Pest Controller • Unfortunately - it is far too easy to get a NSW Govt EPA issued pest control licence and start up a Pest Control business in NSW with little experience in providing safe and effective pest control services • click here for more details.
The NSW Pest Control Licensing system is subject to National Competency Assessment guidelines. Mediocre testing can
be carried by Private Workplace Assessors (not part of TAFE system). The
so called competency assessment can be a combination of oral, written and visual
tests.
Private Workplace Assessors are given
general guidelines in the National Competency Standards but there is no
set standard test or specific knowledge requirements. Once privately
assessed as "competent" then the NSW Govt EPA Pest Control Licensing will issue a pest control licence to the individual. There is no published list of
Private Workplace Assessors..
The System is Inadequate: Some Private Assessors offer a one week course. A person so issued with a pest control licence can set up a Pest Control business (not required to register with EPA Licensing Authority and employ many trainees, using pesticides in people's homes without direct personal supervision.
