who is trained and bee removal and repairs. This service is not available in all areas.
Safety
The pest professional puts on his bee suit and secures the area based on the location and sting potential to passersby. It is advisable to evacuate those in this commercial space during the course of the treatment and even in adjacent portions of the structure (like an adjacent suite) if it is possible that the bees will exit into other areas once the treatment protocol has begun.
Treatment
Material is applied to the established bee hive to eliminate the infestation.
- The technician locates the approximate location and expanse of the hive by listening for buzzing inside wall and/or determining where bees are going in and out of the structure.
- The technician drills one or more pilot holes in the immediate area of the hive, and then immediately forces Nibor D into the void, preferably using an electric duster, or treats with 565 or P.I. with a straw.
- The technician plugs the hole and lets the material take affect.
- He hangs a bee pheromone glueboard to catch stragglers. This process could take several hours.
Bee and Hive Removal
The cavity where the hive is located is opened in order to remove the comb & dead bees. All debris is bagged for off-site disposal.
Repairs
The cavity is now closed up using the original materials removed for access (e.g., the same drywall removed will be reattached, the same bird board will be reattached, etc.). The opening is taped & textured. This service does not include painting.
Exclusion
Minor exclusion/sealing work is performed, usually with caulk, to seal entrance holes in the immediate area of the treated infestation.
Clean-up
Reasonable area clean-up is included.
