Bee Exterminator
Have bees taken over your property? Bees are a problem, especially when they nest near your home. Certain bee species are aggressive in defending their nests, posing management challenges.
Their stings can cause painful reactions, and if you’re allergic, they can even be life-threatening.
Honey bees are crucial for the environment but pose threats when invading living spaces. Left unchecked, bees can also damage your property by nesting in walls, attics, or other hard-to-reach places.
At Private Exterminator, we specialise in safe and effective bee removal to protect your home and loved ones.
How Bee Removal Works
Our bee removal service focuses on both removing bees and addressing their nests through specialised pest control techniques. Depending on the situation, we either relocate the bees or exterminate them. We also seal up their nesting areas to prevent future infestations.
Engaging a professional pest management service is crucial for effective and safe bee removal, ensuring that all infestations are thoroughly treated and removed.

Signs You Have a Bee Infestation
Wondering if bees are nesting on your property? Look for these signs:
- Increased Activity: Swarming or hovering bees around specific areas.
- Buzzing Sounds: Constant buzzing near walls, attics, tree crevices, or outdoor structures.
- Visible Nests: Nests in trees, eaves, or hidden within your home.
- Holes in Wooden Structures: Female carpenter bees will create small, perfectly round holes in wooden structures, where they will lay eggs.
If you notice any of these signs, call us for a professional inspection. Acting quickly reduces risks and prevents further damage.
Why DIY Bee Removal Is Risky
Trying to handle bees yourself might seem tempting, but it can be dangerous:
- Aggression: Bees can become hostile when threatened, increasing the chances of stings.
- Incomplete Removal: Missing part of the nest can lead to recurring infestations.
- Safety Risks: Handling bees without proper tools or knowledge puts you at risk.
While bees play crucial roles in our ecosystems, it is important to handle their nests with care. If you encounter a honey bee nest, do not attempt to remove it yourself. They are vital pollinators, and improper handling can harm the colony or pose serious risks to your safety.
Only a professional beekeeper or an accredited pest control expert is trained to safely remove nests. Remember, your safety is priceless. Do not risk harm to yourself or others to save on a few bucks.
How We Handle Bee Removal
We follow a simple, effective process to ensure your home is safe:
- Inspection: We assess the infestation and locate nests.
- Species Identification: We determine the bee species to decide the best approach.
- Safe Removal: Bees are either relocated or exterminated.
- Sealing Entry Points: We block access to prevent future infestations.
- Follow-Up: A thorough check ensures the problem is fully resolved.
The Environmental Benefit of Bee Relocation
Bees are vital to our ecosystem, and whenever possible, we relocate them to safe areas rather than exterminate them.
The social structure of bee colonies, with the queen bee playing a crucial role and worker bees performing essential tasks, is preserved through our relocation efforts.
This helps maintain their role in pollination while keeping your home bee-free. Our eco-friendly methods prioritise safety for both the environment and your family.
