What does this mean? This means that you won't know what you're dealing with until these bees attack. Why take the chance?
We have found through experience that the safest way to handle any bee problem is to assume that the bees in your backyard, or tree, or house or business are Africanized and get them removed. Don't wait until it's too late, trust me on this, the bees aren't going anywhere by themselves, they need to be removed immediately. But how will you know who to hire to get rid of them?
Imagine having a pest control operator come to your house.
He's there to take care of the bees you discovered out back. He gets to work and the next thing you know he's running through your yard swatting madly at his head with his tools flying in every direction. You watch as he finally sprints to his truck and peels off. You look out your back window to see a cloud of bees buzzing and bouncing off everything in site. Don't think it's happened? Guess again.
The truth is that unless someone is trained to handle these bees they can get out of control quickly. And if they do it could mean a major law suit if someone gets injured or worse.
This is why you should only use bee removal companies that specialize in dealing with these aggressive insects. Ask the companies you speak with if they have any practical bee keeping experience, because that's what it really takes to handle these dangerous insects.
What about my local hardware guy who tells me to take a can of "Killer Spray" and have at it?
This is the one thing you should never ever do.
Bee and wasp removal is NOT a DIY project.
It should only be performed by a skilled and experienced person. If this has crossed your mind I repeat don't do it. Spraying them with your average can of "killer spray" will take out a few and make those that are left incredibly angry. Tons of people have been stung repeatedly, and worse, trying to do this very thing. A real bee removal company will have specialized chemicals and equipment that penetrate deep into the nest while providing for a quick knock down. You're just not going to find this capability in a can of DIY "killer spray".
Along the same lines, and equally as dangerous, is the use of spray foam insulation to plug the bee entrance. Don't, I repeat, don't ever do this. The bees get trapped in your wall, but they don't sit idly by and die of starvation, they will fight, chew and tear their way to the outside world. More often than not they find their way out-right into your living room. We have seen thousands of bees flying through homes after someone attempted this. Instead of a solution they have only succeeded in making the situation infinitely worse. If you hear a "bee expert" say- "all we have to do is plug this here hole" -run! Don't take this risk, hire a professional.
What else should I keep in mind when I find bees on my property?
With the exception of newly arriving honey bee swarms, when honey bees become enough of a nuisance as to be noticed, this very often means they are either Africanized or they have been there for quite some time. As for the first, being a more aggressive bee they make their presence known. As for the second, the bees grow so much in population that they literally bust at the seams.
What does this mean? This means that you almost invariably will have a large, well populated colony of bees living in your structure when you finally notice them. This also means that their nest will have to be removed after the extermination has been done.
If the nest isn't removed the honey that's left in the cavity will ferment and rot, and an invasion of opportunistic insects will soon follow.
We have seen time and time again how unscrupulous companies come in and spray the bees, not telling the customer that they have a huge nest in their structure. After a few weeks the customer finally calls us in, but by then it's too late. Rancid honey is running down their walls, and there are robber bees buzzing around their house often angry and aggressive. And as if a dinner bell has been rung here come the ants, roaches and small hive beetles that come to dine on the now unprotected nest. If the customer still doesn't get anything done about it eventually a new swarm of bees come in to take advantage of the unguarded nest and set up shop. Back to square one for the customer only now they have a very large bill for interior reconstruction as well as the added pests to be removed. This, my friend, happens all too often, and should give you pause on contacting just any "bee guy" or pest control company.
And what about Live honey bee removals?
We've all heard about the bees disappearing. We all want to do our part to help. Unfortunately this has inspired a plethora of "bee experts" claiming to offer you this service. This one hits home, so please pay attention.
The simple truth is that this service is extremely difficult to provide.
It has taken us years to come up with systems and methods to do a live honey bee removal both safely and effectively. Without these systems you're, quite bluntly, gonna have one heck of a mess on your hands. It takes special knowledge and certain tools to control the bees during a live removal. If certain steps aren't followed the bees will form clouds around their nest and become highly aggressive. You can guess what happens from there.
We've also seen live honey bee removals that are absolutely ridiculous and are nothing more than a scam. Here's how it works. You call the bee guy, he says sure I can take care of your bees, that's gonna be a 150 bucks. You say great, that sounds cheap. He comes by and sets up a bee box and leaves you a bill. He comes by every few weeks to check the box and hand you another bill and so on and so on. The cheap "live removal" ends up costing thousands and when you're all done the bees are often still there. Ridiculous and down right sinful.
For comparison, a live honey bee removal by our experts is generally complete within a few hours. Your bees are gone, to later be recycled into commercial beekeeping outfits to pollinate crops and make honey, and it didn't rob your children of a college education. Don't be hooked in by "experts" claiming to be helping the environment when what they're really doing is helping themselves to your wallet.
Ok then, how much is this gonna cost?
That's a fair question. The simple answer is that it does cost a bit more than regular pest control.
The technicians have to be specially trained, the equipment is more specialized and the jobs just take longer. It takes time, skill and extra materials to ensure that your bee problem is handled properly and doesn't return.
But that doesn't mean that it has to be unreasonable.
We at Alltek Bee Removal LLC, while striving to do the best job possible and at the same time saving you money, have come up with pricing systems that we feel are the most honest and fair in our industry. There is, quite literally, a plan to fit any budget. We also provide fast free quotes that we stick to, and you never have to worry about bait and switch tactics or shoddy work-that's our guarantee.
It's true that there are some companies who will come out and spray your bees for a few dollars less, but ask yourself if you can afford to take the chance on a job done poorly leaving you vulnerable to re-infestation, or worse.
Ask yourself these important questions:
1. Can I afford to leave bees on my property and hope they never hurt anyone?
2. Am I willing to try to do the bee job myself now knowing the risks associated with Africanized bees?
3. Can I afford to have my bee problem handled improperly and be left hanging after the service, or worse escalate into an expensive home repair problem?
Do yourself a favor and hire the best.
