Bee Control Services in Kenya
Bees are fascinating creatures that play a crucial role in pollination and maintaining the natural balance of our ecosystems. However, when they invade residential, commercial, or agricultural spaces, they can pose a serious safety risk to people, pets, and property. At Rowland Africa, we understand the importance of protecting both humans and bees. That’s why our bee control services focus on safe, effective, and environmentally responsible solutions ensuring your safety while preserving the essential role bees play in our environment.
Our bee control approach is not about unnecessary extermination but about carefully handling bee infestations in a way that protects lives, reduces risks, and whenever possible, relocates the bees to safe environments.
Why Bee Control is Important
Although bees are beneficial, unmanaged colonies can create several problems:
- Sting Risks – Bees can be aggressive if they feel threatened. Multiple stings can be dangerous, especially for people with allergies, leading to severe reactions or even medical emergencies.
- Structural Damage – Bees often build hives in walls, ceilings, attics, chimneys, or other hidden spaces. Over time, wax and honey can damage structures, attract pests, and cause foul odors.
- Business Disruption – For businesses such as restaurants, hotels, farms, and event spaces, a bee infestation can scare customers, affect operations, and damage reputation.
- Agricultural Impact – While bees are crucial for pollination, unmanaged swarms can become aggressive and make farm operations unsafe for workers and livestock.
Common Places Bees Build Hives
Bees are resourceful and can establish hives in various locations:
- Hollow trees and bushes
- Roof eaves and overhangs
- Attics, lofts, and ceiling spaces
- Wall cavities and voids
- Chimneys and ventilation ducts
- Garden sheds, garages, and barns
- Outdoor furniture or equipment
Knowing where bees commonly settle helps in early detection and fast intervention before the colony becomes too large.
Signs You May Have a Bee Infestation
If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to call Rowland Africa for professional bee control:
- Frequent bee activity near one spot or area around your property
- Buzzing sounds coming from walls, ceilings, or structures
- Visible hives attached to buildings, trees, or other surfaces
- Honey leakage or dark stains on walls
- Increased number of bees indoors or around windows
- Unusual odors from decomposing honeycomb if bees have died
Early detection makes removal safer, faster, and less costly.
Our Bee Control Process
At Rowland Africa, we follow a systematic process to ensure safe and effective bee control.
1. Site Inspection
We begin with a thorough inspection to locate the hive, assess colony size, and determine the safest removal strategy. Our team also identifies potential entry points and evaluates any risks to people, pets, or property.
2. Risk Assessment
We assess the proximity of the hive to human activity and the level of aggression displayed by the bees. This helps us decide whether relocation or safe elimination is the best option.
3. Bee Relocation or Removal
- Relocation – Whenever possible, we partner with experienced beekeepers to relocate the hive to a safe environment where the bees can continue pollinating without endangering people.
- Safe Removal – In cases where relocation is not possible (for example, aggressive Africanized bees), we use eco-friendly methods to neutralize the colony.
4. Hive and Honeycomb Removal
Removing the hive is crucial to prevent future infestations and eliminate honey residue that can attract ants, rodents, and other pests.
5. Area Cleaning and Sanitization
We clean and sanitize the affected area to remove any pheromones that might attract new swarms.
6. Prevention and Exclusion
Finally, we seal off entry points, recommend repairs, and provide tips to prevent future bee problems.
