Stinging Insects
Bee Removal Philadelphia
Honeybees, bumblebees, and carpenter bees are common across Philadelphia. While honeybees and bumblebees are beneficial pollinators, nests in walls, eaves, or high-traffic areas pose safety risks. We prioritize humane live removal and relocation when possible. Carpenter bees, which bore into wood, require different treatment to prevent structural damage.

FAQ
Bee Removal — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about bee removal in Philadelphia, including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does bee removal cost in Philadelphia?
Bee Removal is billed at a flat $199/hr, 1-hour minimum, no matter the pest type or severity. Every job includes an inspection and an upfront estimate before any work begins — the rate never changes based on what we find.
Do you kill bees or relocate them?
We prioritize live removal and relocation for honeybees and bumblebees whenever possible. We work with local beekeepers to rehome colonies. Carpenter bees, which damage wood structures, are treated differently to prevent further damage.
Are carpenter bees damaging my home?
Yes. Carpenter bees bore perfectly round 1/2-inch holes into wood surfaces — decks, fascia boards, eaves, and siding. While individual holes seem minor, repeated nesting year after year causes cumulative structural damage.
What should I do if I see a bee swarm?
Stay calm and keep your distance. Swarming honeybees are generally docile as they're focused on finding a new home. Text us for safe swarm removal — we'll relocate them to a beekeeper within hours.
Is it legal to kill honeybees in Philadelphia?
Philadelphia has no specific law against killing honeybees, but beekeeping is legal and the city encourages pollinator protection. We always attempt humane relocation first. It's the responsible approach and our clients expect it.
