Bee Removal
Safe & Effective Honey Bee Removals in Austin, TX
When bees settle in your walls, soffits, or even your barbecue pits, it can be a challenge to determine their duration there without witnessing the swarm’s arrival. Crucially, we advise against using insecticides. While they might kill the bees, they leave behind honey that attracts pests and leads to a larger problem.

The Risks of Insecticides
Using insecticides contaminates wax, honey, and tools. While you might temporarily eliminate the bees, leftover honey will attract pests and vermin, creating a larger problem as they consume the wax and cause honey to flow. Other bees will be attracted to the location to try to rob the honey. These will carry the insecticides to their hive and will greatly harm, if not kill, the other hives.
Safe and Clean Removal
We prioritize safe removal and the re-homing of bee colonies into established apiaries. Our process involves removing as much wax as possible, treating the area with Kilz to mask the odors of the wax and honey, and filling voids with fiberglass insulation to prevent bees from returning. Although we expertly seal openings, reconstruction of paint or masonry work remains the property owner’s responsibility.
In most cases, we securely close the area using the original materials and meticulously caulk any openings. However, we do not handle painting, drywall finishing, or masonry reconstruction. For these tasks, you would need to hire the appropriate professionals. Get in touch with us to learn more.
