Pest control
lucrative due
to killer bees
BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) —
The buzz of killer bees is sounding
more like "ka-ching" to pest con
trol companies in South Texas.
The increased Africanized bee
activity in the Rio Grande Valley,
along with the hype that accom
panied their arrival a few years
ago and continued publicity over
attacks, have been a boon to bee
killers.
In Brownsville alone, at least 10
people a day call an exterminator
about a bee problem. About nine
out of 10 calls are about killer bees,
Santana Lucio, owner of Lucio's
Pest Control, said.
“European bees just fly
around you. The African ones try
to kill, surround you and chase
you back to the truck," Lucio
said. “When we're done, our
gloves are full of stingers."
News reports of African bees in
juring people or killing pets help
the exterminators' business.
“When it's on TV that someone
got stung 100 times or about dogs
getting killed by bees, they get
more concerned about the honey
hives," Gracie Waldhilm of Pest
Com Inc said.
To kill the aggressive bees, ex
terminators spray the hives with a
soap and water mixture or a
stronger insecticide, depending
on the number of bees and their
resilience.
The exterminators put them
selves at risk when they take on
the killer bees. Although the
Africanized bees' sting is not
more lethal than other bees', the
insects are known to strike in
swarms and pursue victims over
greater distances.
"It's a job and we'll do it. But, to
be honest, there's been too many
(calls), and they're very danger
ous," Lucio said. "One time, the
African bees got under the veil of
one of the sprayers and they almost
killed him."
In fact, the heavy protective gear
sprayers wear, which includes
openings for gloves and a face
mask, is not always enough to pro
tect them from an attack.
"You can still feel a strong
stinging sensation where the bees
are stinging you," Beto Tijerina, an
exterminator with Lara's Pest
Control, said.
Exterminators often work after
dark when the bees have settled
down and won't be as quick to at
tack in a group.
