Bee Hive Removal and Pest Control in Juhu

Found a hive? Do this first

• Shut the windows on that side, and keep children and pets away from it.
• Leave it alone: no spray, no smoke, no water and no stick. Bees defend their hive.
• If someone has been stung many times or is finding it hard to breathe, get medical help right away.
• Let the society office know if it is close to a lobby, lift or play area.
• Call 80979 41077 and say where it is, which floor it is on and about how big it looks.

How the hive gets removed

Trained technicians come with protective gear and the right equipment, and they take care of the wall or ledge the hive is sitting on. Beekeepers in our network then take the colony somewhere it can keep living. We do not exterminate the bees or spray harmful chemicals on them.

When the hive is gone, they sanitise the spot and seal any gaps, which makes it harder for another colony to move in. The inspection and quote are free. The price depends on the hive size, where it is and how complicated the work is, and there is a 1-year warranty. For other insects, see flying insect management.

• What does it cost to remove a bee hive in Juhu?

  Removal begins at ₹2,000. Size and height are what change it: a big comb high on an outside wall is more work than a small one on a garden branch. You pay nothing for the inspection, and the quote is written down first.

• Are the bees killed when you take the hive down?

  No. We take down the hive and beekeepers move the colony. We do not exterminate them or spray harmful chemicals on them. They are important pollinators, and your home still ends up free of the hive. Should a hive not be removable this way, you will hear why before anything happens.

• A swarm has settled on my balcony. Is it dangerous?

  Swarming bees tend to be calmer than bees guarding a hive, but keep your distance anyway. Close the balcony door, keep children and pets inside and do not spray anything. It may move off by itself. If it starts building a comb there, call us straight away.

• How long does the hive removal take?

  Plan for 1 to 3 hours in most cases. Something high up or tucked inside a wall runs longer. We ask for a few details and a photo before we come, so that the right equipment comes along the first time.

• Can a hive be removed from the outside of a tall building?

  Send a photo and the floor number. The way we do it depends on whether it can be reached from a window, a ledge or the terrace. You may need your society's permission for access. The technician will confirm at the inspection if it can be done safely.

• Will new bees come back to the same place?

  The smell of an old hive can attract new bees, so the spot gets sanitised and any gaps get sealed once the hive is out. You also have a 1-year warranty. If bees settle in the same place during it, ring us for a follow-up visit.

• There is a hive in a tree in my bungalow garden. Can you remove it?

  Yes. Hives on trees and on other parts of a property can both be removed, with as little damage as possible. Keep people away from that part of the garden until we come. Tell us how high the branch is, and send a photo if you can get one from a safe distance.

• Where do the bees go after removal?

  Beekeepers in our network take the colony to a suitable place where it can carry on living. It is not destroyed. Your side of it is then cleaned and sealed, so the same ledge is less inviting to the next colony that comes looking for a home.

• Is it safe for my family to stay home during removal?

  Yes, as long as everyone stays indoors with the windows on that side shut until the job is done. Trained technicians do the work with protective gear. If it is close to a shared space, the society should keep people away too until the removal is over.

• Can someone come urgently for a bee swarm?

  Yes. We are open at all hours and we respond to swarms and angry bees. Call 80979 41077, say it is urgent, and tell us where they are and whether anyone has been stung. A technician can reach you in 30 minutes to 1 hour. If someone cannot breathe well, get medical help first.
