Frequently Asked Questions
QHow much does bee removal cost in Melbourne?
Services start from $129. Final pricing depends on the property, pest activity, access and treatment scope. We confirm your quote before booking.
QDo you kill the bees?
We prioritise humane relocation whenever possible. We work with local Melbourne beekeepers who rehome honeybee colonies. However, in some situations (e.g., aggressive Africanised bees, inaccessible hives) where live removal is not safe or feasible, controlled treatment may be necessary. We always discuss options with you first.
QIs a bee swarm dangerous?
Bee swarms are generally docile because the bees have no hive to defend. However, they can be frightening and are dangerous for people with bee sting allergies. Do not disturb or spray a swarm - call a professional for safe removal. Swarms are temporary and the bees will move on within 24-48 hours if left alone.
QWhat should I do if I find bees in my wall?
If bees are entering and exiting a gap in your wall, they have likely established a hive inside the cavity. Do not seal the entry point as this traps the bees inside and forces them to find alternative exits into your living space. Call us for professional assessment - we can remove the hive and seal the entry point properly.
Professional Bee Removal in Melbourne
Bees play an essential role in pollination and food production, which is why Pest Eraze prioritises humane bee relocation whenever possible. However, when a bee colony establishes itself inside your wall cavity, roof space, or near high-traffic areas of your property, professional removal is necessary for the safety of your family. We work with local Melbourne beekeepers to rehome honeybee colonies wherever feasible.
Bee Swarms vs Established Hives
Understanding the difference is important for determining the right response:
- Bee swarm: A temporary cluster of bees resting on a branch, fence, or structure. Swarms are typically docile because the bees have no hive to defend. They usually move on within 24-48 hours. If the swarm is in a safe location, it can be left alone
- Established hive: Bees entering and exiting a specific gap in your wall, eave, or roof space. This indicates a colony has built honeycomb inside the structure. Established hives require professional removal because they will not leave on their own and will grow larger over time
Why Established Hives Need Professional Removal
An established bee hive inside a wall cavity or roof space creates several problems:
- Structural damage: Honeycomb absorbs moisture and can damage timber and plasterboard. Large hives can hold 30-40kg of honey
- Secondary pests: Abandoned honeycomb attracts wax moths, ants, cockroaches, and rodents
- Honey leaks: In hot weather, honeycomb can melt and leak through ceilings and walls
- Sting risk: Colonies become defensive during hot weather, storms, or when disturbed by vibrations from lawn mowing or construction
Our Bee Removal Process
- Assessment: We determine whether you have a swarm or established hive, identify the species, and assess the best removal approach
- Live removal: Where possible, we carefully extract the colony and queen for rehoming with a local beekeeper
- Hive extraction: For wall cavities, we may need to open a section of wall to remove the honeycomb completely. All honeycomb must be removed to prevent secondary pest infestations
- Sealing: We seal all entry points to prevent future colonies from moving in
