Our Unique Approach To Bee Control & Removal Services
Calling a professional to help you get rid of bees is your best option, even if you’re comfortable removing them on your own. Bees make nests in tricky spots like the ground, your home’s walls, and other hard-to-reach areas, plus getting rid of bees depends on the time of the year.
1. BEE INSPECTION
A technician will come to your property to identify any current bee activity or nest then walk the property with the homeowner to check for any nest or other problem pest during the inspection.
2. BEE TREATMENT
Bee treatment types are determined by the type of nest, location, and safety of the situation. This will be determined by on-site technicians but generally speaking, a liquid or aerosol application is done then any hanging nest will be removed.
3. BEE EXCLUSION WORK
Bee exclusion can be a giant task due to their nature and the small gaps that exist around homes. The best action to take is to be on a preventative spray program to guarantee that if you have an issue it is covered.

Bees are vital pollinators, and Sasquatch Pest Control treats them very differently from wasps. When honey bees swarm or establish a hive in a wall, or when bumble bees nest in the ground or a wall void, the goal whenever possible is safe removal or relocation rather than extermination. The most common bees we deal with in the Bellingham area are honey bees, bumble bees, and wood-boring carpenter bees.
A honey bee swarm — a large cluster of bees resting temporarily — often looks alarming but is usually docile and may move on within a day or two. An established hive inside a structure can contain thousands of bees and pounds of honeycomb, which must be handled carefully to avoid attracting other pests once the bees are gone. Bumble bees nest in smaller colonies but will defend a nest near a doorway or walkway.
Because live bee removal requires specialized handling and bees are beneficial, a wall, ground, or structural colony is best handled by a professional. Sasquatch Pest Control assesses the situation and recommends the safest, most responsible approach.
Signs of a Bee Problem
Bee activity around a structure is worth investigating. Look for:
A steady stream of bees entering and exiting a single point in a wall, soffit, or the ground.
A visible swarm — a large cluster of bees hanging from a branch, fence, or eave.
Honeycomb visible in an opening, or honey or dark staining bleeding through a wall or ceiling.
Bumble bees flying in and out of a ground hole, wall void, or under a deck.
Round, perfectly-drilled holes in wood fascia, decks, or eaves (carpenter bees).
A buzzing sound inside a wall or ceiling.
Why Bee Control Matters
While a passing swarm is usually calm, an established colony will defend its hive, and bumble bees can be defensive near a nest by a walkway or door. Stings are dangerous for anyone with a bee-sting allergy, and disturbing a hive without protection can provoke a mass stinging event.
An abandoned hive left in a wall creates its own problems: melting honeycomb can stain and damage the structure and attracts rodents, ants, and other pests. Proper removal addresses both the bees and the comb.
How Sasquatch Pest Control Gets Rid of Bees
Sasquatch Pest Control handles bees with safety and the environment in mind:
Free Inspection. We identify the species, locate the hive or nest, and determine whether safe live removal or treatment is appropriate.
Custom Plan. We recommend the safest, most responsible approach — prioritizing removal or relocation for beneficial bees when possible.
Safe Removal or Treatment. Using protective equipment, we address the colony and, where needed, the honeycomb to prevent secondary pest problems.
Prevention. We help seal the entry points that let bees establish a colony, backed by our 100% guarantee.
How to Prevent Bees
Discourage bees from nesting on your property:
Seal gaps and openings in soffits, eaves, walls, and around utility penetrations.
Fill or seal old rodent burrows and cavities where bumble bees nest.
Paint or seal exposed wood to deter carpenter bees, which prefer bare wood.
Inspect the exterior each spring for early nesting activity.
Keep an eye on decks, sheds, and outbuildings where colonies establish.
Never seal an active colony inside a wall — trapped bees can enter living space; call a professional.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bees
Do you remove bees alive?
Whenever it is safe and practical, Sasquatch Pest Control prioritizes removal or relocation over extermination for beneficial bees. We assess each situation — some wall and structural colonies require a different approach for safety.
Is a bee swarm dangerous?
A resting swarm is usually docile and may leave on its own within a day or two. It should still be handled by a professional, since an established colony will become defensive.
What is the difference between bees and wasps?
Bees are fuzzy pollinators that generally sting once, while wasps are smoother predators that can sting repeatedly. Because bees are beneficial, we handle them with removal in mind whenever possible.
Why should I not leave a bee hive in my wall?
An abandoned hive leaves behind honeycomb that melts, stains, and damages the structure, and attracts rodents, ants, and other pests. Proper removal deals with both the bees and the comb.
What are the round holes in my deck and fascia?
Those are likely carpenter bees, which drill into bare wood to nest. Sasquatch Pest Control can treat active galleries and help you protect the wood.
How much does bee removal cost?
It depends on the location and size of the colony and whether structural access is needed. Sasquatch Pest Control provides a free inspection and honest, up-front pricing.
