Bee Control

When you observe a swarm of bees gathering around an outside wall, roof or in a tree near your home or office, chances are that they will move on within 2-3 days.

When bees are form a swarm, the are typically trying to rest. If it’s near the dusk, swarming bees may end up staying on your property until the morning.

If the Bees are Aggressive, here are Some Helpful Tips:

  • Do not make any sudden movements near the swarm or hive
  • Do not make any loud sounds near the swarm or hive
  • Do not spray any insecticides, water or powders at at the swarm or hive
  • Do not throw rocks or any objects at the swarm or hive
  • Do not swat bees buzzing around your body
  • Warn your neighbors that a swarm or hive is in the area
  • Do not disturb the swarm or hive even at night

Bees & Wasps

Nests Are a Serious Risk

If you notice that bees or wasps are congregating in your yard or commercial space, you likely have a nest nearby. Isolated stings can be uncomfortable, but they are usually not threatening unless you, your loved ones or your employees have an allergy. However, swarms can be very dangerous, and if enough stings are inflicted, they can result in injury or death.

Don’t Try to Address the Issue Yourself

Killing a wasp or a bee one-by-one is an ineffective way to remove these pests from your property. Bees and wasps will propagate quickly and replace removed individuals with ease. Moreover, killing a wasp on its own can be dangerous, since the dead body will release a chemical that triggers other wasps to attack. Similarly, when a bee stings you, they release a pheromone that attracts other bees to the area to defend their hive. This group mentality can pose significant risks to you and other nearby humans.

Getting to the Source

Bees and wasps must be removed all at once as a community or they will keep reproducing and infesting your area. This requires an inspection of your property to locate the nest or hive, determine its extent and then treat the area with chemical sprays as many times as needed until every generation of the pupa is killed.

Professional Cleanup and Repairs

Because bees build their hives in enclosed areas, they often target walls, roofs and other vulnerable structures that have an opening. Once the bees or wasps are eliminated, you will need to seal entry points to be sure bees do not return to the hive.
