Bee Removal FAQ Memphis TN — Cost, Process & What to Expect

Question 1

Do you kill the bees?

Accepted Answer

Never. We remove every honeybee colony alive. The bees are relocated to our managed apiary or a partner farm where they can continue pollinating and producing honey. We do not use pesticides or sprays on honeybees — ever.

Question 2

How much does bee removal cost in Memphis?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on the type of removal, accessibility, and colony size. Swarm captures are the least expensive. Structural cutouts involving drywall or siding cost more due to labor. We give you a full quote before any work begins — no surprises.

Question 3

How fast can you get here?

Accepted Answer

We offer same-day service for most calls and 24/7 emergency response for urgent situations. Call or text (901) 825-0232 and we'll tell you exactly when we can be there.

Question 4

What's the difference between a swarm and an established colony?

Accepted Answer

A swarm is a temporary cluster of bees in transit — they're looking for a new home and haven't moved in yet. An established colony has built comb inside a structure. Swarms are faster and less expensive to remove. Established colonies require a structural cutout.

Question 5

Will the bees come back after removal?

Accepted Answer

Not if the job is done right. We remove all the comb, clean the cavity, and seal every entry point permanently. A partial removal or spray job that leaves comb in place guarantees a return visit. We do it once, we do it right.

Question 6

Do you repair the opening after a cutout?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We patch the opening we made and leave your home clean. We work carefully to minimize the size of the opening and make repair as straightforward as possible.

Question 7

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are fully licensed as pest control operators in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas, and carry full liability and workers' compensation insurance. You're protected on every job.

Question 8

Do you handle wasps and hornets too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We remove bald-faced hornets, yellow jackets, and paper wasps. These are handled differently from honeybees — we locate the nest, remove it completely, and treat the area.

Question 9

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We're based in Memphis and serve the entire Mid-South — including Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Cordova, Southaven, Olive Branch, and dozens of other communities across TN, MS, and AR. Don't see your city? Call us — we travel for the right job.

Question 10

Can I just seal the entry point myself?

Accepted Answer

Do not seal the entry point without removing the bees first. Trapped bees will find another way out — often through your living room. They'll also die inside the wall, and the melting honey and comb will cause significant structural damage. Call us first.
