Honey Bee Removal in Des Moines, IA by Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management – swarm clustered on a tree branch

WHY CONTROL HONEY BEES?

Noticed bees hanging around your home lately? Maybe they’re swarming near the porch, or you’ve heard buzzing in the walls.

It’s easy to brush it off—until someone gets stung or you realize they’ve built a hive where you can’t reach. For families, this isn’t just annoying. It’s scary. And for anyone with allergies, it’s dangerous.

That’s why honey bee problems should never be ignored. If they settle in, they don’t just go away.

1. When Safety Becomes a Daily Worry

A single sting can send someone to the ER. If bees are near your doors, garage, or play areas, every trip outside starts to feel like a risk—not something you should have to live with.

2. The Damage Isn’t Just Outside

Once bees get inside walls, they bring more than a buzz. Moisture, sticky honey, and waste can ruin drywall, attract other pests, and lead to costly repairs if left too long.

3. You Deserve to Enjoy Your Backyard

Whether it’s a quiet cup of coffee outside or a weekend BBQ, bees shouldn’t be the reason you stay indoors. We’ll help make your yard yours again—without the stress.

If you’re dealing with bees right now—or even just have a feeling they’ve moved in—Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management is here to help with trusted Honey Bee Removal in Des Moines, IA and the surrounding areas.

HONEY BEE REMOVAL SERVICES

At Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management, we don’t just get rid of the bees—we do it the right way.

Our goal is to remove the problem safely, protect your property, and keep things in balance with nature. Here’s how we make that happen:

  • Safe, Humane Bee Removal:

    We don’t exterminate bees—we relocate them. Using ethical, low-stress methods, we make sure hives are removed carefully and the bees get a chance to thrive elsewhere, away from your home.

  • Full Property Inspection:

    It starts with a thorough check. Whether bees are swarming in a tree, hiding in your attic, or slipping through cracks in your siding, we’ll find out exactly what’s going on and where. No guesswork—just a clear plan forward.

  • Long-Term Prevention:

    Fixing the current issue is just step one. We also seal up access points and help remove things that attract bees, like old wood, vents, or scents. That way, you’re not dealing with the same problem again a few weeks later.

  • Eco-Friendly from Start to Finish:

    Your family’s health matters—and so does the environment. Every method we use is designed to be safe for people, pets, and pollinators, without harmful sprays or unnecessary disruption.

  • Custom Plans for Your Situation:

    Every home is different. So is every hive. That’s why we build a bee management plan based on your exact situation—no cookie-cutter fixes, just real solutions that last.

Important Notes:

  • 1

    Swarm Management: If you notice a honey bee swarm on a tree, shrub, or near your house, it’s often best to leave it alone. Swarms typically move on by themselves. Ensure you and others keep a safe distance to avoid any potential disturbances.

  • 2

    Health Threats: In cases where the swarm poses a health risk, especially in busy public areas, it is crucial to seek professional assistance immediately.

  • 3

    Established Colonies: If bees have nested in your siding, chimney, or soffits, it’s important to address the situation promptly before they start producing honey and causing more significant issues.

HOW TO SPOT HONEY BEE ACTIVITY

Honey Bee Hive - Honey Bee Removal

Honey bees can be elusive, but several signs can reveal their presence. Recognizing these indicators is crucial for effective honey bee control. Keep an eye out for the following signs:

1. Distinctive Behaviors

Honey bee swarms typically consist of hundreds to thousands of bees, led by a queen. They often fly briefly before settling in clusters on tree branches, shrubs, or other structures.

2. Signs of Swarming

Swarms can stay in one place for an hour to several days, depending on weather conditions and the time needed for scout bees to find a new nesting site. Once a site is chosen, the swarm moves.

3. Increased Activity

While honey bees don’t leave traditional tracks, you may notice heightened activity around flowers, gardens, and potential nesting sites. Occasionally, bee droppings can be found near the hive or on surfaces below their flight path.

  • Saftey

  • Damage of Property
