While bees play a vital role in our ecosystem, they become a serious threat when they nest in or around your home. A bee infestation can endanger your family, damage your property, and even attract secondary pests like wax moths or rodents.

At Pest 911, we specialize in the safe and prompt removal of bees, wasps, and hornets throughout Ocala and The Villages. Because stinging insects are fiercely protective of their colonies, attempting “DIY” removal can lead to aggressive swarm attacks and serious medical emergencies.

The Danger of Africanized Honey Bees

In Central Florida, the growing population of Africanized Honey Bees has made professional removal more important than ever. Often called “Killer Bees,” this species is indistinguishable from common honey bees to the naked eye but is far more defensive.

• Swarm Behavior: They are much more likely to attack in large numbers if they feel their hive is threatened.

• Persistence: They will pursue a perceived threat for much longer distances than standard bees.

• Zero-Tolerance DIY: Never attempt to spray or remove a hive yourself. The experts at Pest 911 have the protective gear and specialized training to handle these aggressive colonies safely.

Wasps, Hornets, and Yellow Jackets

Bees aren’t the only stinging threat in Marion County. Pest 911 also provides comprehensive control for:

• Yellow Jackets: These often nest underground or in wall voids. They are notoriously aggressive and can sting multiple times.

• Paper Wasps: Known for their umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and doorframes.

• Hornets: Their large, papery nests in trees or bushes can house hundreds of stinging insects.

• Mud Daubers: While less aggressive, their mud nests can be an unsightly nuisance on your home’s exterior.

Professional Removal & Property Protection

Stinging insects send thousands of people to the emergency room every year due to allergic reactions. Beyond the physical danger, a hive located inside a wall or soffit can melt, causing honey to seep through drywall and cause structural damage or attract other pests.

The Pest 911 Process:

1. Identification: We determine the species and the exact location of the nest.

2. Safety First: We utilize professional-grade suits and equipment to protect you and your neighbors during the removal.

3. Prompt Removal: We use the most effective techniques to eliminate the threat quickly.

4. Prevention: We can help identify entry points—like gaps in your siding or roofline—to prevent future colonies from moving in.
