How To Tell If You Have A Bee Problem
The presence of bees in your home can be a scary and frightening experience. If you think you may have bees nesting in your home, removing them quickly is important. If you find a bee nest, it can be dangerous to try to remove it yourself. Bee infestations can pose a health risk and the honeycombs can damage the surrounding structure.
- Honeycomb– Honeycombs are the most obvious sign that you have a bee infestation in your home.
- Swarming– Swarms of bees often leave the original hive to find a good place to start a new colony.
- Beehive– Hives are made of wax and can be found in trees, bushes, cracks in walls or foundations, and other places.
- Active Bees– Large numbers of bees flying around your property is a surefire sign of a nearby hive.
Bee vs. Wasp Identification
Bees and wasps are often mistaken for one another, as both can sting. Wasps are generally more aggressive, while bees sting as a last resort. Knowing the difference between a bee and a wasp infestation is the first step to eliminating the problem. Bees are thick bodies and covered in hair, while wasps have smooth, shiny, slender bodies with a narrow waist. Bees and wasps like to nest in the cracks and spaces around your home. This includes around pipes, doors, windows, sill plates, and foundation.

How Do You Exterminate Bees?
While bees work to build a colony, it is unlikely that you will notice their presence on your property. Only after bees have built a thriving hive do most property owners realize they have an infestation.If you have an established hive in a wall, attic or crawlspace, do not spray the bees with bug spray or your garden hose. This will only agitate the bees and make them more likely to sting you. The bees, honey, honeycomb and other bee hive materials will all need to be professionally removed. Our bee removal team will safely remove the bees and prevent them from coming back.

Bee & Wasp Prevention Tips
Watch for hives and nests being built. Sometimes bees will use openings in existing structures like walls, roofing, rocks and trees. Use silicone-based caulk, fine mesh steel metal screens, and steel plates to seal common entry points. Plant flowers away from high-use areas to avoid aggravating bees. Peppermint works as a bee deterrent as they are repelled by the strong smell. Wasps are often attracted to rotting food, always clean and cover your garbage cans. Ensure all door and window screens are in good repair.
