Southern Lawn Care
Southern Lawn Care provides professional bee removal services for those situations where it no longer feels comfortable to ignore the activity. We look at more than just the entrance hole. Our team considers how long the bees have likely been there, how active they are, and how close they are to people and pets.

Bees are a normal part of a healthy landscape, but there is a big difference between a few bees on flowers and a steady stream disappearing into a wall, soffit, or tree hollow. Once they pick a spot close to doors, patios, or play areas, it can change the way you use your yard.
Whenever it can be done safely, we recommend live bee removal and relocation rather than simply destroying the colony. That approach protects your family and your property, while giving a healthy group of pollinators the chance to keep working in a better location.
If bees are near high traffic areas such as front steps, walkways, driveways, pools, or outdoor seating, we treat the situation as a priority. From your first call through the last bit of cleanup, you can expect clear communication, a calm professional tone, and straightforward answers.
Bee problems can appear in different ways. The right solution depends on whether you are dealing with a temporary swarm or an established hive that has settled into a structure. Southern Lawn Care offers several bee removal options so we can match our service to what you are actually seeing.
A swarm often seems to appear out of nowhere. You may walk outside and find a large cluster of bees gathered on a tree branch, fence rail, mailbox, or the side of a building. It is an intense sight and easy to worry about, but a swarm is usually in search mode, resting while scout bees look for a permanent home.
This is the best time to reach out to Southern Lawn Care. If that swarm chooses a wall cavity, soffit, or roof void as its new home, removal becomes more complicated and more expensive. When we are called early, we can often collect the swarm in a single visit with very little disruption to your property.
During a swarm visit, we confirm that you are dealing with honey bees and not another stinging insect, gently collect the cluster, and reduce scent where practical so future swarms are less likely to choose the same spot.
If bees have been active in one area for a while, there is usually much more going on behind the surface. Inside the structure there may be comb, brood, honey, and wax built into a hidden cavity. Spraying the entrance or sealing the gap may quiet visible activity, but it does not remove the hive and can lead to leaks, odors, stains, or secondary pests.
Southern Lawn Care treats hive removal as both a safety task and a structural project. We locate the hive, estimate its size and age, and select the most sensible way to access it. Then we remove bees and comb in a controlled way and clean up honey and residue so the area is less appealing to future colonies.
Our goal is to leave you with a clean, dry, stable space that is ready for repair, not just a quiet entrance hole for a few days.
Some bee situations need attention right away. Bees above a front step, near a pool deck, around a play set, or along a busy path can create genuine concern, especially where allergies or previous reactions are an issue.
For these cases, Southern Lawn Care offers priority scheduling and, when possible, rapid or same day service. When we arrive, we start by securing the immediate area and keeping people away from the highest risk zone. We then select the safest and most effective method for removing or relocating the bees based on what we find.
During an emergency visit, our focus is simple: reduce the chance of stings, keep the situation calm, and remove the hazard in a steady, professional manner.
Bee removal does not have a single price, because every situation is different. The cost depends on what we find when we inspect your property. A few key factors include whether you are dealing with a temporary swarm or an established hive, how easy or difficult the location is to reach, and whether we need to open part of a wall, soffit, or roof to access the colony.
Swarms that are still outside and have not moved into a structure are usually simpler and more affordable to handle. Hives that have been active inside walls or roof spaces require more time, care, and cleanup.
When you contact Southern Lawn Care, we start with a few focused questions and, when helpful, review photos you can share. If an on site inspection is needed, we schedule that next. Once we understand the situation, we explain the recommended approach and provide clear pricing so you can make an informed decision before any work begins.
Although every property is unique, our bee removal process follows a clear sequence so you know what to expect.
Step
1
We begin with inspection and assessment. This may include a phone conversation, review of photos, and an in person visit. We identify entry points, listen for hive activity, and determine whether the issue is a swarm or an established hive.
Step
2
Next, we carry out the removal. That might involve gently collecting a swarm, opening a small section of structure, or accessing a roof line. Throughout this step we focus on containing or relocating the bees and keeping nearby people and pets safe.
Step
3
Once the bees are removed, we address comb, honey, and residue. Cleaning this material out helps reduce scent that can attract new colonies to the same spot and makes the area easier to repair.
Step
4
Finally, we review what we found and share practical prevention tips. That may include sealing gaps, adjusting outdoor lighting, or making small changes in landscaping that can make your property less appealing to future colonies.
Many regions have guidelines or regulations that encourage the protection of bees and other pollinators. Southern Lawn Care follows all applicable rules and favors relocation and low toxicity methods whenever they can be used safely.
Our first choice is always live removal and relocation. In most situations, that approach is both possible and recommended. If we encounter a case where relocation is not safe or realistic, we explain the reasons and use the most targeted and least harmful option available.
Response time depends on the season, our current schedule, and how urgent your situation is. Active swarms or bees near busy entries, walkways, or play areas are treated as higher priority. When you call, we are direct about timing and work to offer the soonest appropriate visit.
If hive material, honey, and scent are left behind, other bees can be attracted to the same area. That is why our service includes hive removal and cleanup where possible, along with suggestions to help keep the space less appealing in the future.
Our process is planned with families and pets in mind. We usually recommend that pets and children stay indoors while we work and for a short period afterward. Because we focus on physical removal and low toxicity methods, the service is designed to be as safe and gentle as possible.
If you are beginning to notice bee activity around your home or business, it is easier and safer to address it early.
