Bee Control

We have been doing bee removal for over 30 years. Call us for more information how we can remove your unwanted bees without killing them. We have removed bees out of chimneys, walls, ceilings, trees, even as high as 80 feet in the air using a lift.

We are very efficient, thorough, and place a guarantee on our work. We have various methods for removal depending on your circumstance. We are a bee-friendly company and try to save the whole hive with the bees as much as possible.

REMOVAL FROM WALLS

The honey bee colony should be salvaged alive if possible, but sometimes this is not practical. Honey bee swarms that have recently entered the wall of a structure, say for 1 day or so, can be exterminated. It is still not recommended to exterminate since there is a big shortage of bees. If the bees have been there after 3-5 days or more it is definitely not recommended to exterminate—removal is the preferred method. Removal is the preferred method because a) it removes the bees b) it removes not only the bees, but also the wax and honey. Most of the time when a customer calls me, the bees have already been there longer than they are aware. Unless you have seen the cloud of bees arrive, then it is safer to just err on the side of safety for the sake of your structure of your home.

Extermination of beehives after 3-5 days of a swarm arrival is risky. It is likely that when the bees die, the wax will melt and cause the honey to flow out of the hive. When the bees are alive, they flap their wings and keep the beeswax cool preventing wax from melting. Often I have seen honey seeping out of the baseboard, siding, and sometimes just trapped on the wood stud causing dry rot. An exterminated beehive will likely cause an infestation of mice and/or wax moths. One other method of removal is the use of trapping; however, trapping can cost a lot due to the cost of material and many trips that a beekeeper has to take.
