Bees play an important role in pollination and help maintain biodiversity. These insects, however, can become pests when they are found in large numbers. This can make the affected area unsafe for people who are allergic to bee stings. Always contact a pest control company to safely remove these bees or relocate them.
Understanding Bees
Bees become pests when they build a colony that’s too close to where people live. For example, beehives are commonly found on the wall of a house. In addition to property damage, Africanized honey bees (or killer bees) are aggressive and can pose a threat to humans and animals.
Signs of a Bee Infestation
- Bees entering and leaving a small hole in the wood, brick, or siding of a building.
- Buzzing or humming sounds coming from walls, attics, or other areas of the home.
- Beehives in trees, bushes, or other parts of the property.
- Live bees or bee colonies in or around the home, such as in walls, attics, or chimneys.
- Large numbers of bees flying around a specific area, e.g., a window or door.
- Chewed or gnawed wood, which can indicate the presence of carpenter bees.
- Dead bees or bee wings near windows or doors.
