Frequently Asked Questions About Bee Removal in Pflugerville, 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 Pflugerville call, not just treatment of the entry point.
How much does bee removal cost in Pflugerville?
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 so many Pflugerville bee calls turn out to be ground nests?
The black clay soil common throughout Pflugerville holds moisture well and is easy for ground-nesting bees to burrow into, especially in older neighborhoods near Lake Pflugerville with established landscaping.
What can I expect during a bee removal appointment at my Pflugerville 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 Pflugerville?
We prioritize active swarms and colonies causing immediate concern, particularly near entryways or yards where kids and pets are present, 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 Pflugerville 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 bee nests in newer Pflugerville subdivisions near Toll 130?
Yes. New construction settles as it cures in Texas heat, opening small gaps around vents and utility lines that bees find just as easily as older homes' siding gaps.
Do you guarantee the bees will not come back after a Pflugerville 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.
