Buzzing inside a wall

A constant hum behind a wall or ceiling.

More bees than usual indoors

Good to know

Bees you may see in South Florida.

Some of these cannot be told apart by looking, so keep your distance and let our technician identify them.

The hive builder

Honey bee

Lives in large colonies and builds wax honeycomb. Colonies often settle in wall voids, roofs, sheds and hollow trees.

Where we find them
Walls, soffits, roofs, trees
The defensive one

Africanized honey bee

Looks the same as other honey bees but defends its hive far more aggressively and in greater numbers. It is established in South Florida.

Where we find them
The same places as other honey bees
The wood borer

Carpenter bee

A large, solitary bee that drills round holes in bare wood to nest. It rarely stings.

Where we find them
Eaves, fascia boards, fences, decks
Your next step

It starts with a free inspection.

Every hive is different. Our technician confirms what you have and where it is, then explains your options.

Free inspection

Our technician identifies the bees and finds where the hive is.

Your options, explained

You hear what we found and what we recommend for your home. Call our office for more information about treatment options.

Stay safe

What to do if you find bees at home.

Until our technician has seen it, the safest thing is to leave the hive alone.

Keep your distance

Keep children and pets away from the area.

Don’t spray it

Spraying or hitting a hive makes the bees defensive.

Don’t seal the opening

Blocking the hole traps the bees and can push them into your home.

Avoid loud equipment nearby

Mowers, trimmers and blowers close to a hive can set the bees off.

If bees chase you, run to shelter

Get inside a house or car and close the door. Do not jump into water.

Know who is allergic

A sting can be an emergency for someone with an allergy. Call 911 if anyone has trouble breathing.

Questions

Bee control questions, answered.

Have a different question? Call our office in Davie, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

Nothing. The inspection is free.

It depends on the bees and where the hive is. Our technician inspects first and explains your options. Call our office for more information about treatment options.

Most bees sting only to defend themselves or their hive. Africanized honey bees are established in South Florida and defend their hive far more aggressively, so treat any hive with caution.

We do not recommend it. Disturbing a hive is how most serious stinging incidents happen.

Bees are rounder and fuzzy. Wasps are slimmer and smooth, with a narrow waist. If you are not sure, our technician will identify it. We also remove wasp nests.
