With a focus on precision and safety, we are experts in identifying bees and bee hive removal. Whether you are dealing with a bee infestation or looking to prevent potential issues, let Terminix be your solution.
Types of bees we remove and control
Bumble bees
These large, fuzzy bees are generally less aggressive than wasps, but their nests around your home can still pose a stinging risk, especially if disturbed.
Carpenter bees
As their name suggests, carpenter bees bore into wood to create their nests, leading to unsightly holes and potential structural damage to decks, eaves, fascias, and other wooden elements of your home.
Solitary ground bees
These bees nest in the soil, often creating small mounds in lawns or gardens. While typically not aggressive, large numbers can be a cosmetic nuisance or a concern for those with allergies.
Honey bees
Honey bees are incredibly important pollinators, and Terminix prioritizes working with local beekeepers to relocate honey bee colonies whenever possible. However, in situations where the colony poses a threat, Terminix technicians are trained to handle their removal responsibly.
Africanized honey bees
Also known as killer bees, these highly defensive bees require specialized handling due to their aggressive nature.
