Bees are essential to our environment but when they build a hive near your home or workplace, they can pose a serious safety risk. Bee stings are painful, and for those allergic, even one sting can be life-threatening. Whether it’s a buzzing hive on your roof, in your attic, or hanging from a tree in your compound, you need professional help.
At Rafiki Pest Control, we offer safe, humane, and effective bee control services across Kenya. We remove hives, eliminate threats, and restore peace to your property without harming the ecosystem.
Why Are Bees a Problem?
While bees play a crucial role in pollination, they become a danger when:
- They build hives near doorways, rooftops, vents, or inside walls
- They swarm in large numbers near people or pets
- Children or allergic individuals are at risk of being stung
- Hives are accidentally disturbed
- Bee droppings or dead bees begin to accumulate
How You May Get a Bee Infestation
- Open eaves, cracks, or gaps in walls or ceilings
- Trees, water tanks, or attics left undisturbed for long
- Strong scents or sweet-smelling food that attracts scouts
- Nearby flowering gardens or farms
Signs of a Bee Infestation
- Constant buzzing near a specific location
- Clusters of bees around your windows, vents, or roof
- A visible hanging hive (on trees, roofs, or balconies)
- Dark spots or staining on ceilings (if hive is inside the structure)
- Sight of bees entering and exiting the same point repeatedly
Our Bee Control Process
1. Inspection
We begin by locating:
- The hive (visible or hidden)
- Entry and exit points
- Species of bee (some may require special handling)
- Risk level to humans, pets, or property
2. Non-Chemical Approach
Where possible, we aim to relocate the hive safely especially if the bees are not aggressive or endangered. We:
- Coordinate with local beekeepers when needed
- Use protective equipment to avoid agitating the swarm
- Remove honeycombs to prevent re-infestation
- Seal all entry points afterward
3. Chemical Control (When Necessary)
If the bees are aggressive, inside the structure, or pose a direct danger:
- We use approved insecticides targeted for bees
- Perform careful extermination to avoid triggering a swarm
- Use dusts or sprays in wall voids or hidden areas
- Safely dispose of the hive and treat surrounding zones
- Deodorize and clean affected areas to prevent return
