Bees In Your Home – A Problem That Must Be Solved

Bees should never be allowed to live in your home. Even if they appear docile in the early stages, this is only because they are focused on building their bees nest, once the hive is completed and they start producing honey and babies, they will become more aggressive. Their hives, which will continue to grow in size with time, can weigh over 80 pounds and present a fire and construction hazard to your home. The dripping honey can damage surrounding areas, as well as, attract other bees, insects and nuisance wildlife.

“Killer Bees” In Oklahoma

Africanized Honey Bees were given the nickname “Killer Bees”, in Hollywood films that capitalized on their aggressive nature. Africanized bees have been identified in over 32 Oklahoma Counties, and were first spotted in southwestern Oklahoma in 2004 and are now also present in the central area of the state too. These bees are known to be particularly aggressive and will viciously attack people and animals who stray into their territory often resulting in death or serious injury. They are very similar in appearance to the more docile honeybee of European origin. The killer bee’s venom is not more toxic than the European bee, however, they tend to attack more aggressively and sting in larger numbers sometimes “killing” their victims.

Wildlife Pest Control – Bee Removal The Skunk Whisperer® Way

When it comes to getting rid of bees, the preferred Skunk Whisperer method is to relocate the honey bees along with their hive alive and intact, rather than use insecticides and poisons that would otherwise kill them. These beneficial creatures play a truly vital role in the balance of nature and subsequently are a valuable, crucial addition to the surrounding environment. Once the bees nest is located and skillfully removed by our professionals, the affected area is thoroughly cleaned, the damage repaired and the home sealed to prevent further infestation. Our pest control and house inspections for other insect and wildlife issues are also beneficial when it comes to preventing swarms in the structure, this is because sealing the property to prevent the invasion of nuisance wildlife will also help prevent bees and wasps from entering too.
