If you have a bee problem or infestation, you may wish to consider live bee removal services. Various companies, including some beekeepers, offer these services. To find a removal company, ask friends, family, neighbors, check online, or ask other beekeepers. Unless you’re a professional beekeeper, never attempt to remove bees on your own; you could be injured and stung.
Compile a list of several removal companies, and be sure to read online reviews of the companies you have on your list. If any of the companies exterminate the bees, you’ll want to cross them off the list and go to the next one. A reputable company will relocate the bees.
After this, you will want to call the companies on your list and find out about their policy and procedures for removing bees. Are they licensed and insured? What are their fees? Do they offer emergency services? How do they protect the family and house during the removal process? Does everyone have to leave the home and property during the removal process? Bees can become aggressive if threatened, so the answer to this question is very important. Compare the answers to the above questions for each company before you make an informed decision.
Once you’ve made your decision, make sure to get everything in writing. You’ll want to understand the process and procedures that are used and how payment is made (usually after the services, but each company works differently). Read over the contract carefully; if you don’t understand something, ask questions to clarify what you don’t understand.
When you’re satisfied with the answers, sign the contract and make sure to complete any required preparations prior to the service date. Make sure to follow all safety protocols with the company during the procedures. If you must be off the premises during the removal, make sure to have a plan in place to be elsewhere during the process.
Live bee removal services should be done by a professional to prevent any damage to your home and to prevent any injury to the employees of the company and your family or anyone else on the property. If you need emergency services, make sure to tell the removal companies this information during the initial contact. Some companies are booked out and may not be available on your timeline.
After your services are done, do the company a courtesy and go to their website and write up a review about your experience. Were you satisfied? What could the company have done to improve their services for you? Be specific. Remember, future customers rely on these reviews just like you did.
Bees have a crucial role in pollinating gardens, orchards, farms, and the like. Without pollination, crops won’t grow properly. For this reason, it’s important to opt for live removal services over companies that will exterminate the bees. If you’re not sure what kind of bees you have or how dangerous they are, call and talk to a professional and ask them for their advice.
