Bumble Bee Removal
Bumble Bees, though essential pollinators, can pose a safety risk when nesting near homes. Our expert bumble bee removal and control services ensure a safe, hive-free environment for you and your family.
How to Identify Bumblebee Infestations in Your Home
Bumble bee infestations often occur in specific areas around your property where they feel safe to build nests. Here’s where to check for signs of bumble bee presence:
Garden Beds
Bumble bees may nest in low-lying plants, making it essential to check garden beds. Look for buzzing and increased bee activity near ground-level foliage.
Sheds and Garages
These structures offer protected spaces. Notice any buzzing noises or bees flying in and out, which may indicate an active nest.
Under Decking or Patios
The underside of the decks is secluded, providing an ideal nesting area. Bees entering and exiting small openings can signify a hidden hive.
Compost Piles
Bumble bees sometimes nest near compost, drawn to the warmth. Look for bees hovering around your compost area.
Tree Stumps
Old, hollowed stumps offer bees a secure home. Check for bees entering or exiting stumps or nearby ground cover.
Why Does Bumble Bee Invade the Home?
Bumble bees typically seek quiet, sheltered spaces to nest, especially in spring and summer. Outdoor structures, ground cavities, and shaded areas around homes offer ideal protection from predators and weather. While non-aggressive, bumble bees defend their nests if disturbed, posing risks to household members, especially those with bee allergies.
Prevention Tips
- Regularly inspect areas around the home for bee activity.
- Seal openings under decks, patios, or sheds to deter nesting.
- Clear away debris that may provide nesting cover.
- Remove unused wood piles or logs where bees may hide.

Bumble bee - Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for bumble bees to go away after pest control?
Typically, you can expect a significant reduction in bee activity within a few hours. However, complete removal may take a couple of days. This duration depends on multiple factors, including the size of the nest, its location, and the methods used by the pest control professionals. Larger nests or those in difficult-to-reach areas may take longer to fully eliminate. Pest control services often include follow-up visits to ensure that all bees have been effectively removed and to address any remaining issues.
How do I get rid of bumble bees permanently?
Permanent removal of bumble bees involves a combination of professional extermination and preventive measures. Professional pest control services will first locate and eliminate the current nest, ensuring that all bees are removed. This might involve using insecticide traps or relocating the nest. To prevent future infestations, professionals will recommend preventive measures such as sealing potential entry points around your home, removing attractive nesting sites, and advising on landscaping practices that deter bees. Consistent maintenance and monitoring are also crucial to ensure that bumble bees do not return. You can also read through our Bumble Bee DIY Guide for natural treatment methods.
Is bumble bee control safe for pets and children?
Yes, professional bumble bee control is safe for pets and children. Pest control experts use treatments and methods that are specifically designed to minimize risk to all household members. They choose insecticides and other control methods that are effective against bees but safe for use around humans and animals when applied correctly. Additionally, professionals will provide instructions on any necessary precautions to take during and after the treatment process to ensure the safety of your family and pets.
What kills bumble bees instantly?
Professional exterminators use specific insecticides that can effectively kill bumble bees on contact. These insecticides are curated to be highly effective while not harming the environment and non-target species. It is important to allow professionals to handle these chemicals to avoid accidental exposure and ensure proper application. Instant-kill treatments are part of a broader integrated pest management strategy that includes identifying and targeting the nest to prevent future infestations.
What do bumble bees hate the most?
Bumble bees are known to dislike strong smells such as citrus, peppermint, and eucalyptus. These scents can act as natural repellents and may deter bees from nesting in certain areas. However, relying solely on these scents is not a reliable method for removing an existing bee infestation. While these odours can help to prevent bees from choosing a location to nest, professional pest control services are necessary for the effective and permanent removal of established nests.
How much time will it take for bumble bee pest control service?
The duration of a Bumblebee removal service can range from 30 minutes to a few hours. This depends on the size and complexity of the nest, as well as its location. Simple cases where the nest is easily accessible and small may be resolved quickly. In contrast, larger nests or those located in hard-to-reach places, such as within walls or high up in trees, may require more time and effort to remove safely. Pest control professionals will inspect the situation and provide an estimated time frame based on their findings during the initial inspection.
