Bee Hive Removal and Pest Control in Goregaon

You just found a hive. Do this first

• Shut every window on that side, and bring children and pets inside.
• Leave it alone. No spray, no smoke, no water, no stick. Bees attack when their hive is disturbed.
• Many stings or any trouble breathing means a doctor, right now, before anything else.
• If it hangs near a lobby, lift or children's play area, let your society office know.
• Ring 80979 41077 and say which floor, which side of the building and about how big it looks. Take a photo only from far away.

How the hive comes down

Our technicians wear full protective gear and bring what the height of the job calls for. They try not to mark your wall or balcony while they work. Once the hive is down, the bees go to a beekeeper we work with and carry on as before. They are not poisoned, and nobody sprays them.

Then we clean the spot and close up any gap, since the smell of an old hive can pull in the next colony. Looking at the hive and quoting costs nothing. Your price depends on how big it is, where it sits and how hard it is to get to, and the job has a 1-year warranty. Wasps or other flying pests? See flying insect management.

• What is the charge for removing a bee hive in Goregaon?

  Starting price is ₹2,000. Size, height and access change it, so a big hive high on a tower wall will come to more than a small one on a tree you can reach from the ground. We look first for free, and you get the figure in writing.

• Will the bees be killed when you remove the hive?

  No, they live. A beekeeper takes the colony away after we bring the hive down, and we do not spray poison on them. Bees pollinate plants, so moving them is better for everybody. If your hive is in a spot where this cannot work, you will hear that from us first.

• A swarm has suddenly landed on my balcony. What should I do?

  Stay inside and shut that door. A swarm with no hive to guard is usually quieter than an old colony, but those bees can still sting, so keep the kids and the dog away. Swarms often leave in a while. If you see them building comb, ring us at once.

• How much time does it take to remove a hive?

  Most jobs are done in 1 to 3 hours. A big hive takes longer than a small one, and one high on a ledge or inside a wall takes longest of all. Send us a photo before the visit, and tell us the floor, so the right equipment comes along.

• The hive is outside my tower window. Can you reach it?

  Send a photo and tell us your floor. A lot depends on whether someone can get at it from your window, a ledge or the terrace. You may also need your society's go-ahead. Our technician checks all this on the first visit and will say honestly if it is unsafe.

• Will bees come back to the same spot next year?

  They can, because the scent of the old hive stays and new colonies notice it. That is why we clean the spot and close up the gaps after the job. Your 1-year warranty covers that same place, so ring us if bees start gathering there again during that time.

• There is a hive inside my wall or in a tree. Can it still be removed?

  Yes to both. Wall hives need more work, because the comb is out of sight and we try hard not to damage your wall. Tree hives are often simpler, depending on the height. Tell us where you see the bees going in and out, and we will come and look.

• Where do the bees go once they are taken away?

  To a beekeeper we work with, who gives them a new place to live. So the colony survives, and your balcony or wall is free of it. Back at your place, we clean up the old spot and close any gaps, so the next swarm has less reason to settle there.

• How do I keep my family and neighbours safe during removal?

  Everyone should stay indoors on that side, with windows shut, till we say it is over. Bring pets in as well. If the hive is near a staircase, gate or garden that others use, ask the society to keep people away for that time. Our team wears protective gear throughout.

• Someone was stung and the bees are angry. Is this an emergency?

  It can be. Anyone struggling to breathe goes to a doctor first, without waiting for us. After that, ring 80979 41077 and say it is urgent, and tell us where the hive is and how many people were stung. We answer at any hour. Keep everybody inside meanwhile.
