Bee Hive Removal From Structures

When bees move into walls, roofs, or other parts of a building, they begin building honeycomb and raising brood. These established colonies can grow rapidly and contain thousands of bees.

Complete removal is important because any left honeycomb can attract pests, melt inside walls, or cause recurring bee problems.

We remove colonies from:

• House walls
• Roofs and eaves
• Sheds and garages
• Fences and outdoor structures
• Trees and landscaping features

Bee Removal Experts

When bees build hives inside homes or buildings, behind walls and other structures, it is important to have a professional safely remove the hive. With our background in home construction, we know how to carefully access these areas while minimizing damage and reducing the need for repairs.

If you’ve discovered a bee hive somewhere on your property, it’s important to have it removed quickly before the colony grows larger. When bees build a hive inside a wall, attic, or other enclosed space, they produce large amounts of honeycomb and honey. The scent of honey and wax attracts ants, mites, roaches, wax moths, rodents, and other insects. Professional bee removal helps locate the colony, remove the bees and comb safely, and properly clean and seal the area so the problem doesn’t continue or return later.

Bee Proofing & Prevention

Bees communicate using pheromones. Even after a bee hive is removed, leftover scent can attract new swarms.

Every removal includes:

  • Complete honeycomb removal

  • pheromone-blocking treatment

  • Natural bee deterrent application

  • Sealing or screening of hive entry points

Full Service Bee Removal

We offer complete, live and safe bee removal and relocation services in San Diego and surrounding areas. Our process includes the full removal of the bees and honeycomb, application of a scent-blocker, and use of a bee deterrent to neutralize the area. After that, we thoroughly bee-proof the original hive location to prevent bees from returning.

Bee Proofing

Because bees rely heavily on scent to communicate, the smell of leftover honeycomb or the queen’s pheromones will continue attracting new bee colonies after a hive is gone if it wasn’t removed properly. New bees move in and it becomes a recurring issue. The scent from the bee hive is difficult to eliminate without the proper knowledge and experience. Bee proofing and professional removal of the bee hive ensures new bees do not return to the same location.

Bee Swarms

Bees swarm when the colony gets too large for their current home. The workers bees create a new queen and the hive splits. A portion of the worker bees leave with one queen to start a new colony, while the rest remain with the current bee colony. It is important to capture a swarm before they move into a structure. It saves cost on the bee removal and possible repairs from have to remove a hive inside of a structure.
