Services
Bee Removal
Professional removal of honeybee colonies from residential and commercial properties. Our technicians use specialized equipment to safely extract hives while minimizing risk to property owners and pollinators. We follow strict safety protocols to ensure complete colony removal and prevent re-infestation.
Swarm Traps
Installation of strategic swarm traps to capture and relocate honeybee swarms. Our traps use pheromone-based attractants to intercept swarms before they establish permanent colonies in structures. This method provides effective population control while preserving bee populations.
Emergency Services
Immediate assistance for urgent bee-related situations. Our team responds to emergency calls 24 hours a day with protective gear and removal equipment. We prioritize rapid containment of aggressive swarms and dangerous hive locations to ensure public safety.
Africanized Bees
Specialized removal of Africanized honeybee colonies requiring enhanced safety measures. Our technicians use full-body protective suits and smoke suppression techniques to manage these defensive colonies. We implement additional precautions to prevent stinging incidents during removal operations.
Hive Prevention
Comprehensive inspections and preventive treatments to deter bee infestations. We identify and seal potential entry points in structures using copper wool and caulk. Our preventive services include property assessments and recommendations for minimizing attractants that draw bees to buildings.
