You may have noticed these pests around your garden, but how do you know when it’s becoming an infestation? In warmer weather, bees will be more prevalent. If you suddenly notice more, particularly in one area around your home, they have likely started a colony there.

If you find that you have unwanted bees swarming in your home or business, here are a few tips on what to do until they are removed:

It is crucial to stay calm when you spot a swarm of bees around your property. These bees are only trying to find a new home, so there’s no need to panic.  If you notice a swarm of bees, keep children and pets inside and out of sight. Don’t intentionally aggravate the bees. Otherwise, it can cause the bees to attack any potential threats. Do not hose the swarm with water or harm the bees in any way, as this will cause them to attack. If you notice a beehive, never put yourself and the people around you in danger by attempting to remove it yourself. Call a reliable pest control team to take good care of your bee concern.

During the swarming season, bee populations start to reproduce and look for new residences. They get into our homes through uncovered holes, gutters, kitchens and other open spaces. If you don't want your building to be their next target, there are things you can do to avoid getting their attention.

Inspect your property during early spring for signs of beehives being built. Reduce outdoor clutter to prevent bees from nesting in your yard. Repair holes in flyscreens.  Seal any cracks or gaps around the outside of your home.

Are bees dangerous?

Bees can be dangerous, especially to someone with allergies. They typically only sting once, but one sting can cause anaphylaxis, so you should seek medical treatment immediately if an allergy is suspected.

Can I remove a beehive myself?

Bees may be essential for the health and proper balance of the earth’s ecosystem, but they can be dangerous when they feel threatened. They can infest homes, sting and can cause allergic reactions. In other words, bees can risk the health and safety of your family and property.
