Ehrlich bee specialists are specially trained to handle stinging insects like bees and wasps. Because bees can sting in large numbers, specialized tools and suits are needed to protect you and the bees. Bees play a vital role in the environment which is why our pest experts will only remove a nest if it is a real threat to the people. 

The removal method we recommend for how to get rid of bees all depends on the size of the nest, location and the species of the bee. We also use bee veils, and specialized suits such as a thick heavy canvas suit, to keep our specialists protected against potential bee stings. If the nest is really high or hard to reach, we use a ladder and a special bee pole to remove it.

Bumble bees are fuzzy and usually build their nests under or close the ground. This type of stinging insect is not does not typically sting humans or animals but will sting if they feel threatened. The bumble bee can sting other insects repeatedly without dulling their fang. Make no mistake; this insect can become aggressive when their hive is disturbed.

Once you have identified the nest, the best way to get rid of a bumble bee nest is to relocate the nest. However, there are treatment restrictions on controlling bumblebees in most states, so Ehrlich will work with a local bee keeper to help us remove the nest.

Carpenter bees bore into wood and feed on nectar. These bees will make their nests in and around planks of wood laying around most construction sites, hence the name carpenter bees. An infestation is likely if the wood isn’t discarded, or if there is a lot of loose wood lying around.

Since carpenter bees like wood, we insert specialized treatments such as pesticides that come in dust, wettable powders and aerosol residual formulas targeted at the nest in the holes to eliminate the bees. We also recommend sealing the holes in the wood after eradication. We like to use wood putty to seal up the holes the bees bore into the wood.
