BEE REMOVAL
Live removal of honey bees is an option generally chosen only by customers with medical conditions that will not allow the use of insecticides or those with strong beliefs against exterminating bees.
Our fee for live bee removal is much higher than our extermination fee because it requires more experience, labor, fuel, and equipment. Live bee removal must be performed only by persons with expert knowledge of bees and specialized equipment.
Occasionally, based on the temperment of the bees and the site setting (child or pet exposure to bees), live bee removal is not possible. Due to safety considerations, we reserve the right to make the final decision whether to employ live bee removal versus bee extermination.
Extermination is the bee removal method most commonly chosen by our customers. It is the least costly, quickest, and safest way to manage virtually any bee population. Extermination is generally divided into two categories:
- most or all of the bee swarm can be seen (e.g. a swarm on the branch of a tree or other surface),
- only the flying bees can be seen because the swarm is inside a void space (e.g. the hollow space inside a wall).
When bees are nesting within wall voids of homes or commercial buildings, our highly trained technicians will begin by evaluating the location of the bees. This may require drilling one or more small holes.
Once we have established the location of the bees, we will spray specially-formulated insecticide into the hive location to exterminate the bees. Occasionally, when a hive is well established, it is not possible to exterminate the bees unless the void is opened to allow proper delivery of the insecticide.
