Bee Infestation Warning Signs
Bees can be sneaky. Sometimes they build nests in hard-to-see places, which can become a serious problem. Their resourcefulness allows them to exploit even the smallest cracks. This hidden development continues until the nest grows to a substantial size, often culminating in a noticeable and potentially problematic bee presence.
By the time their activity becomes readily apparent, the infestation may have already escalated, posing a greater challenge for safe and effective removal. Therefore, early detection and professional intervention are crucial in managing bee problems before they become a significant concern.
Here’s how to spot the early signs:
Common Bee Nesting Sites
- Under roof eaves and attic spaces
- Inside wall voids or crawl spaces
- Beneath decks or porches
- In tree trunks or hollows
- Around chimneys, sheds, or garages
You may notice a consistent buzzing sound in walls, clusters of bees flying in and out of a hole, or visible signs of honeycomb or wax buildup.
When to Call a Bee Exterminator
If you’ve spotted more than a few bees near your home (especially if you see them entering or exiting a small opening), don’t wait. A colony can grow rapidly, creating structural damage and increasing the risk of stings, especially for kids and pets.
Why Bee Control is Important
While bees play a crucial role in the ecosystem, they can pose several risks when they nest in or around your property:
- Stings: Bee stings can be painful and, in some cases, cause severe allergic reactions.
- Property Damage: Bees can build hives in walls, attics, and other structures, leading to potential damage.
- Safety Concerns: Large hives can become aggressive, especially if disturbed, posing a risk to your family, pets, and visitors.
Our Bee Removal & Hive Extermination Process
Action Pest Control doesn’t just get rid of bees. We offer a full-service approach that addresses the infestation and prevents future problems.
Inspection
Our technicians start with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the type of bees, the location of the hive, and the extent of the infestation.
Customized Control Plan
Based on our findings, we develop a tailored control plan designed to safely and effectively remove the bees and their hive.
Safe Removal
We use humane methods to remove bees from your property. Our techniques include:
- Relocation: Whenever possible, we safely relocate bee hives to suitable habitats to protect the bee population.
- Extermination: In cases where relocation is not feasible, we use environmentally responsible products to eliminate the hive.
Damage Repair and Exclusion
After removal, we repair any damage caused by the bees and implement exclusion measures to prevent future infestations. This includes sealing entry points and providing recommendations for habitat modification.
Follow-Up and Monitoring
We conduct follow-up visits to ensure the problem is fully resolved. We monitor for any signs of re-entry and make necessary adjustments to the control plan.
Prevention Tips
We provide practical advice on how to prevent future bee problems, including tips on securing your property and identifying potential attractants.
Bee Species We Handle
Different bees require different strategies. We’re trained to identify and safely remove a variety of species:
- Honeybees – Important pollinators that often build large hives in wall voids or attics. Whenever possible, we relocate them safely.
- Carpenter Bees – Known for boring holes into wood, they can weaken decks, fences, and eaves.
- Bumblebees – Often nest in the ground or in insulation. Usually non-aggressive unless provoked.
- Ground Bees – Solitary bees that burrow into lawns and dirt, commonly mistaken for wasps.
What If It’s Not Bees? (Wasps vs Bees)
Wasps and hornets are often confused with bees, but they are far more aggressive and require different treatment methods. If you’re unsure what type of insect you’re dealing with, our inspection will clarify it.
Bee Removal FAQs
How much does bee removal cost?
The cost of bee removal can vary based on several factors, including the size of the property, the location of the nest, the type of bee, and the severity of the infestation. Because every situation is unique, we provide customized estimates tailored to your specific needs. Our team will conduct an assessment and offer a clear, upfront quote. Get your free quote today!
Is bee extermination safe for pets?
Yes. We use bee control products that are safe for families and pets, and we’ll advise you on any short-term precautions post-treatment.
Can bees kill me?
Bee stings are rarely fatal, but they can be life-threatening for people with allergies. Multiple stings from aggressive bees can cause severe reactions even in healthy individuals. If you suspect a nest nearby, don’t risk it, call Action Pest Control right away!
Can I remove a beehive myself?
No. We don’t want you to take that risk. DIY methods often agitate the colony, increasing your chances of being stung. Professional removal ensures safety and complete elimination.
Do bees come back after removal?
If the hive is completely removed and access points are sealed, bees typically won’t return. However, lingering pheromones can attract new swarms. That’s why our service includes cleanup and prevention.
