Bee Removal & Control

Humans aren’t the only ones who enjoy warm Florida weather. The bees are here, too. Florida has several types of native bees—about 315 species! While bees provide benefits, such as making honey, they can also be considered pests and even a danger if you are allergic to bee stings.

Critter Control of Gainesville is here to help you whenever you run into an infestation. Our insect and animal experts know how to humanely and effectively get rid of any pest problem you have. The professionals at Critter Control can safely and humanely remove the squirrels and install solutions to prevent future squirrel problems. 

How to Spot a Bee Problem

Have you noticed an increasing number of bees flying around the exterior of your home? Are you and your children getting stung? Did you find a beehive on your property, perhaps underneath a deck or near the corner of your garage door? Congratulations, you spotted a bee problem.

Only some bee species will cause harm by swarming; however, it is advantageous to hire a professional to remove the hive from the property. This is the only way to completely get rid of the bees.

Stings

If you’ve been stung on your property, you may have an active bee infestation, especially if it’s happened more than once or twice. Bee stings are painful and, in some cases, can be life-threatening due to allergic reactions. If you suspect you have an infestation, call a professional for bee removal rather than attempting it yourself.

Hives

Bee hives can vary in appearance based on species. Honey bee hives are large, waxy, and often hidden from plain view in a tree hollow, wall void, or similar cavity. Bumblebee nests tend to be smaller, less structured, and located underground or in a hidden area.

If you find one on your property, don’t attempt bee hive removal yourself. Bees sting when they feel threatened, which can be dangerous—especially if you’re allergic—so it’s best to hire a professional to handle the process.

Buzzing Sounds

Persistent, concentrated buzzing, especially near walls, trees, or sheds, is a clear sign of bee activity. While a few bees flitting about and buzzing around your home and garden throughout the day don’t automatically mean an infestation, loud, concentrated buzzing often does.

How Critter Control of Gainesville Gets Rid of Bees

As mentioned before, the only way you can get rid of the bees on your property is to remove the hive. You should know that you run a risk of getting injured if you attempt to remove an active hive (one that has bees traveling to and from it on a daily basis) on your own.

When bees feel threatened, they sting. Critter Control experts have the right tools and equipment to remove a hive without harming the property, the insects, or their home. We know how to transplant the bees to a new location if necessary.

Contact us today for a bee removal consultation. Meet with a knowledgeable professional in the Gainesville area who can help you with your bee problem.

We had bats living in our roof tiles, causing additional insects in the house. Our previous pest control service thought it was water, didn’t realize it was bats. Problem was going on 6 months and they never tried to seek out the problem, just kept spraying. Dave from Critter Control came out, saw the issue and took care of it. He is our new pest guy

Heard a critter in the attic, called Critter Control, and Dave came out the same day. After a recent roof replacement, we assumed attic space would be sealed off. Dave identified plenty of spaces where rodents may enter, and sealed them off properly. He then set rat traps in the attic and checked on them every other day for 2 weeks. Rodents are no longer in our attic. Excellent response and service, and would highly recommend Critter Control.

Dave did a great job. Sealed the garage door where rats had chewed their way in and over a month trapped all rodents in garage and attic. Very pleasant and professional to deal with.

Dave was very thorough dealing with the issue in my home.  His contract specifically outlined what they would do and he went above and beyond that.  The communication that I received at each of his scheduled visits outlined exactly what he would be doing.  He was recommended by Home Team Pest Defense Manager.  Would highly recommend Critter Control Sarasota

Dave does a great job.  He had to come to our house on multiple occasions but kept coming until the critters were all gone.  Shows up when he says he will on time or early.
