Houston is home to a wide variety of honeybees, and as such, bee infestations are a common issue for homeowners. Unfortunately, many pest control companies attempt to handle beehives without the proper training or care, often killing the bees and leaving the nest behind. This leads to serious problems: rotting honey, pest infestations, and structural damage as honey seeps through walls.

Why Choose Bee Safe Bee Removal?
Nests that are inadequately removed cause severe damage to the inside of your home as honey drips down your home and, in time, begins attracting pests and worms as the honey rots. Click here to see our house of horrors video showing the horrors of improper removal.

Common Pests in Houston
Houston is also known for aggressive types of wasps like yellow jackets, paper wasps, and hornets, which often build their nests around eaves, attics, sheds, and other protected structures. These wasps are territorial and can sting repeatedly when they feel threatened — making DIY removal extremely risky.

- Identify the nest’s location
- Eliminate the entire colony quickly and efficiently
- Remove the nest and sanitize the area
- Offer wasp-proofing options to prevent future infestations

Bee Removal in Action – Houston Success Stories
Beehive Rescued on Heathbrook Lane – 01/15/2025
Location: Houston, TX 77094
This customer noticed bees entering through their soffit. Our team used infrared technology to detect the hive — a colony of over 20,000 bees had been there for some time. These bees had likely originated from a honey bee swarming event, where scout bees had located the soffit as a new nesting site.
Using smoke and a bee vacuum, we gently removed the bees into a nucleus box.
After the hive was fully removed, we sanitized the area to remove bee pheromones, packed it with insulation, and sealed it with clear caulk to prevent future infestations. The bees were relocated to a local beekeeper’s apiary in the Houston area.
Buzzing from a Shed – 04/22/2025
Location: Houston, TX 77064
A swarm had taken over a backyard shed, a perfect space to build their nest. When a hive becomes too crowded, bees swarm and scout bees search for a new home — hollow, wooden spaces like sheds are ideal. Our team opened the area, calmed the bees with smoke, and safely relocated the colony using a bee vacuum.
We sealed the shed to prevent the bees from returning, and the colony was safely transported to a local beekeeper’s apiary near Houston.
