Bees can turn up at any home in North Lakes, and it is not always clear what you are dealing with. Sometimes it is a loose cluster on a fence that will move on soon. Other times the bees have found a way into a wall, roof or electricity box and are building comb. We take the details over the phone and book a nearby independent crew to come and look.
When you call, we ask where the bees are, how many you can see, how high up they are and how long they have been around. That helps us give you upfront pricing before the visit. It also helps the crew bring the right gear, such as ladders, suits and tools for opening a small section of lining. If the bees are high on a two-storey wall, tell us, as it changes what the crew needs to bring.
On the day, the crew looks at the spot and works out whether it is a passing swarm or a settled colony. They explain the options for your home and what each one involves, then go ahead once you agree. The visit may include:
- Checking where the bees are getting in and out
- Working out if comb has been built inside a cavity
- Removing the bees and any comb the crew can reach
- Cleaning up honey and wax around the entry
- Talking through ways to seal the gap afterwards
Until the crew arrives, keep children and pets away and do not spray or block the hole. If you have bees around your place in North Lakes, call 07 3543 7768 and we will book a local crew at a time that suits you.
