Honey bees are not aggressive and if you
find them near your home, you need not be concerned. If you discover
that they have established a hive on your property or in your home,
however, you need to have them removed to prevent structural damage and
accidental stings to pets and children. Some popular methods of hive
removal are these:
1. Use a Pesticide
If
the hive is small enough you can use a pesticide spray. This method is
best if the hive is in an exposed location such as under the eaves of
the house or on a tree. Once the bees have died, knock down the hive; be
careful of any bees left inside that could still be alive.
2. Lure The Bees to Another Hive
Construct
a screen cone and place over the main access point to the hive; seal
off all other exits. Bees will fly out the small hole in the cone but
will not be able to get back in as they will try to come in at the base.
Hire a bee wrangler to bring a new queen to the hive; the trapped bees
will be attracted to the new queen and will leave. The remaining bees
and old queen will relocate as a result of the weakening of the hive
population from this method.
3. Hire a Professional Pest Control Expert
If
the hive is large and situated inside the structure of your house, your
best option is the hire a professional to remove the hive. Killing bees
is not hard to do, but removing a hive can be, and if you don’t get the
hive and all the dead bees completely removed they will create a bad
odor in your house and damage and stain the walls.
If
you have bees in or near your home, don’t wait until the hive grows and
becomes established. Visit this website to learn more about bee removal in Cary.
