Bee & Wasp Control

 What is a Swarm

Usually occurring in the spring or summer, the old queen bee leaves an overcrowded colony with about one-half of the existing worker bees as a reproductive swarm to establish a new colony. They travel a distance away from the original colony and light on a surface. From there, scout bees are sent out to look for an acceptable location for a new colony.

Each scout bee agrees on the site by marking it with a pheromone. Then, the scout bees return to the swarm to bring it to the new location.

This transitioning swarm may land on a tree limb or other surface to rest. It generally remains for less than a day and then it moves on to the new location.

Once on site, our technician speaks with you about your observations. For your safety, family and pets need to remain indoors while the process is underway.

Preventative Annual Bee Reduction Programs

Scout Traps
This non-intrusive pheromone based unit attracts and traps scout bees. When the scout bees don't return to the nest in sufficient numbers to redirect the swarm toward your home, the swarm goes elsewhere. With no scout bee feedback about your property, it becomes invisible to the swarm.

Swarm Traps
This pheromone based unit attracts the swarm to the vessel. It's used as a containment system so that the swarm can be effectively exterminated. The trap is placed around vegetation or under building eaves where bees commonly swarm and nest.
