Feral Bee Hive Prevention

Once a feral bee colony has been addressed, reducing suitable access to the former hive location can help lower the likelihood of another colony occupying the same cavity.

Depending on the property, practical measures may include:

• Sealing suitable gaps and openings after the colony has been resolved

• Repairing damaged building materials

• Checking openings around eaves and roofing

• Screening appropriate vents or openings

• Maintaining sheds and outbuildings

• Removing accessible residual hive material where practical

• Monitoring locations where colonies have previously established

• Addressing structural access points identified during the service

Any sealing or proofing should generally be undertaken after active bee activity has been appropriately addressed, rather than trapping an established colony inside the structure.

Because every building and hive location is different, Bees Knees Pest Management WA can provide practical recommendations based on what is identified during the service.

If you're seeing bees repeatedly entering a wall, roof, shed or other structure around your home or business, we can assess whether an established colony may be present and discuss an appropriate feral bee hive management approach.
