Tips For Bee Infestations

Here are some tips to help you with your bee infestation:

1) Remove all containers, like buckets, these attract the bees.

2) Removal of the hive is very important as any residue will re-attract bees. Please make sure that the company you decide to hire is including removal in their prices and not just charging you to fumigate the bees or wasps.

3) The cost of beehive removal and extermination varies. The price depends on the size and location of the beehive. For example, a large hive in a 20ft tree would be more than a medium hive growing in an easily accessible area. If you can give us a description of size and location we can give you an accurate estimate over the phone.

4) Please keep in mind that everyday you wait to get rid of the bees, the hive is grower larger and larger. The queen will lay around 1,500 eggs per day. Within a year a hive can have over 80,000 bees. Waiting only makes the hive removal process more difficult and costly.

5) Ensure that there are no open windows or holes in the walls of your house from where bees could enter once the beehive is removed.

6) Do not get swayed by store insecticides, as they only work temporarily and are not effective in removing the bee hive.

7) Never approach a beehive, as bees are dangerous and can cause death to human beings. Be especially careful with ground bees, these are yellow jackets. If you ever see bees coming from the ground run away fast, these are worse than killer bees. They will swarm with the intention to kill.

8) Get the beehive removed as soon as you observe it. Bees become belligerent once they hive and start producing honey.

I hope these tips help you with your bee removal process. If you need additional help with bee hive removal and bee control please visit our website at:

Property Damage Caused By Rodents

In addition to leaving feces, urine and bacteria every where they go, rodents can cause a wide variety of damage in a short amount of time. Most people do not realize the extent of damage that can be caused by rats until they actually have a rat problem. The damage can be extensive.

For example, rats will tunnel through the attic insulation, reducing its effectiveness and in South Florida, our insulation is very important at keeping cooling costs down. Rodents will chew on your air conditioning ducts, decreasing your air conditioners effectiveness. Both of these issues result in an increase of your electric bill. If you have a rat infestation and have noticed an increase in your electric bill, you are probably experiencing these increases due to damage to your insulation from the rats.

In addition to contamination and damage to insulation, rodents are also known to destroy electrical and plumbing systems. Rats will chew on your electrical wiring, costing you thousands in repairs; but even worse, this destruction has been known to cause house fires. They also chew on plumbing pipes, even metal plumbing pipes, and this is known to cause flooding in homes.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that once you notice a rat problem, that you take care of it right away. This is because rodents in Miami and Fort Lauderdale will over populate very quickly. A single pair of rats can multiply to more than 1500 descendants in 1 year! This will eventually lead to a build up of feces, urine, bacteria and parasites in your attic.
In addition to the aforementioned problems, severe rodent infestations can also lead to flea and mite infestations.

In conclusion, a few rats can become a huge problem if not handled in a timely manner. The longer you wait to resolve your rodent infestation the more likely it is to become a bigger problem. Bigger issues arising from untreated rodent infestations can range from an attic restoration due to over-contamination of feces/urine all the way to plumbing or
electrical restorations.
