Our licensed and trained pest management experts know exactly where to look to identify a bee colony that has invaded your St. Johns home or commercial location and provide you with several customized methods for their eco-friendly removal.

Types of Bees

Bumble Bees usually nest on the ground but can be found near patios, decks, attics or beneath roof beams. They are capable of pursuing a perceived hive invader for long distances. Of all bee types, Bumblebee stings are the most painful and cause extensive swelling.

Killer Bees, also called as African bees, are known to attack in large numbers and pose a significant threat to those suffering with allergies. Although their venom is not considered more dangerous than other bees, the sheer volume of stings from a large colony can cause serious injury.

Carpenter Bees are solitary and build nests for themselves and their offspring only. They are attracted to wood and will damage and chew into structures several inches deep to hold their eggs and food. Carpenter bees are capable of stinging repeatedly since their stingers are not barbed.

Honeybees live in large colonies that can survive for many years. They typically build their nests in tree crevices and occasionally in attics or chimneys. Their barbed stingers are immediately torn away after a single sting.
