Bee and Hornet Control Services from Killem
A beehive or hornets nest near your home can be troublesome and dangerous, if left on its own.
Here’s what you can do about bee and hornet problems:
It is important to properly identify the particular bee and hornet species living near your home, as they can sometimes be mistaken for wasps.
Please see more details on wasp removal services if you are having trouble with wasps.
There are different removal processes for hornets and bees, so using the right treatment method depends on identifying the correct species.
Killem Pest’s preferred method is to rescue bees by offering bee relocation services in collaboration with The Sundowner.
How we can get rid of Bees and Hornets for you
How to get rid of bees:
Relocate the bee colony
Bees settle in places such as bushes, trees and sheds. Their nests can quickly grow and may require relocation to avoid any issues to nearby residents. Killem Pest always gives preference to bee relocation as opposed to extermination. We actively promote and encourage clients to consider relocating the bees.
Extermination
Note that Killem Pest only rarely uses extermination procedures when dealing with bees, as we prefer to relocate and rescue the bees. Ultimately, clients decide how they want bees to be handled. We always make sure to encourage clients to consider bee relocation. Other scenarios in which extermination may be applied is when the bee hive is inaccessible.
Blocking Entry Points
For honey bees, it is essential that entrance points are blocked off, and if possible remove all the honeycomb. Failure to do this will cause robber bees to find the infected honey and take it back to their hive and contaminate it again.
Signs and Symptoms of Bee Infestation Problems
Infestation Signs
- Hives and nests can split and some colony members swarm to set up a new hive inside a wall cavity of residential or commercial premises.
- Some bees nest in the ground, they build shallow and simple holes in the soil.
- Some bees use a single type of branch, while others expand their nests by creating underground mazes using a variety of branches.
- Leafcutter bee nests for example are comprised of a line of several cells, which contain dozens of leaves and twigs.
Bee Prevention
Prevention Tips
- Survey your home and garden for nests, which are usually the size of a golf ball at the start of a nest formation. Early small nests have fewer bees and are easier to treat quickly.
- Check for nests in sheds, garages, and in cavity walls.
- Ensure all your outside bins have good tight fitted lids. Ensure you keep bins away from doors and windows so bees are not attracted to the contents.
- Underused appliances or lawn equipment found in gardens and yards can attract honey bees since they provide sufficient shelter for a hive to develop.
