Frequently Asked Questions About Bee Removal in Kyle, TX
Do you actually relocate the bees, or is that just a nicer way of putting it?
For honey bee colonies, yes, we relocate them alive whenever the hive location and structure allow it. Relocation is our default approach on every Kyle call, not just treatment of the entry point.
How much does bee removal cost in Kyle?
Cost depends on the hive's location, how long the colony has been established, and how much of the structure needs to be opened to reach the comb. We give a firm quote after inspecting the property, not a guess over the phone.
Why do new subdivisions in Kyle still end up with bee problems?
New construction settles as it cures in Texas heat, opening small gaps around vents and utility lines within the first couple of years, and Kyle's proximity to open pasture near Plum Creek means there are plenty of wild colonies nearby looking for exactly that kind of gap.
What can I expect during a bee removal appointment at my Kyle home?
A technician inspects the entry point and, where possible, uses a thermal camera or sounding to locate the comb inside the structure. We then open the affected section, remove the comb and bees, and repair the access point before we leave.
Do you offer same-day bee removal service in Kyle?
We prioritize active swarms and colonies causing immediate concern, particularly near entryways or outdoor living spaces, and often can schedule a technician the same day depending on demand.
What is the difference between a swarm and an established hive in my Kyle yard?
A swarm is a temporary cluster of bees, often resting on a branch or fence post, looking for a new home. An established hive means the colony has already built comb inside a structure, which usually requires opening the wall to remove.
Do you handle carpenter bees on the older homes near downtown Kyle?
Yes. Original wood trim near the historic depot is a common carpenter bee target, and we treat the galleries while working carefully around older construction.
Do you guarantee the bees will not come back after a Kyle removal?
Yes. Every completed job includes a guarantee against the colony returning to the same access point, and Keith's Bee Service is A+ accredited with the Better Business Bureau.
