HONEYBEES
How do I know if I have Honeybees?
The easiest way to determine this is to observe them. Honeybees will commonly build a hive in a soffit or roof area where there is a protected open space. The bees will fly in and out as well as around the opening. They are fuzzy and generally gold in color. An active honeybee hive will contain thousands of bees, so you will normally see 30 to 50 at a time near the opening.
Why do I have them?
Honeybees swarm in the spring to start a new colony. Homes near water or flowering areas seem to be favored. Any small opening that leads to a protected area with room to build is sought out.
Are they dangerous?
Honeybees do sting, but they only sting once. The sting can be extremely painful if the stinger is not immediately removed from the sting. Persons allergic to insect stings will have a more severe reaction.
How do you get rid of honeybees?
Getting rid of honeybees is a difficult, dangerous and messy job. Our service plan includes everything from treatment to removal and clean-up.
Is the treatment safe?
Home Check uses the least amount of material as possible while still resolving the problem. We utilize natural products, baits, and mechanical means as a form of treatment as much as possible. When conventional materials are required, we follow very stringent guidelines for the use of the product so that is poses no threat to people or pets. All products are registered by the EPA. Our service technicians will inform you of any specific safety measures that need to be taken.
How can I prevent this in the future?
