Removal Story
The Story Behind This Removal
A homeowner in Laughlin recently contacted us about a bee swarm that had gained access into their stucco home through a large window bump out. The hollow space inside the bump out provided ample room for the bees to build their hive, making it a challenging situation. Our team was able to inspect inside the wall, perform a forced abscond on the bees that had already gained access, and gather the entire colony for relocation. We then repaired the stucco where the eaves met the bump and properly sealed the entire area to prevent future issues. This job highlights the importance of calling at the first sign of a swarm, as waiting can lead to more complex and challenging removals.
What we found
This swarm in Laughlin was gaining access into the stucco wall, into a large open void behind a window bump out. We were able to gather the bees and force an abscond of the bees that had gained entry gathering them all up as well. We then properly sealed and repaired the stucco area which allowed them access, preventing future issues in this same location.
What homeowners can learn
Calling at the first sign of a swarm is always preferred. Some homeowners choose to wait, but what happens when the colony gains access to a wall? They become much more challenging to remove.
