Do you need to get rid of bees on your property? Florida is home to approximately 315 species of bees. Each year, millions of bees must find a new home and, unfortunately, your home and property can often be an ideal place for bees to colonize because they are provided with sources of food, water, and shelter. When bees decide to colonize, it could begin with anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand swarming on your property. Once they select their location, they do not move and will continue to grow until the mother queen decides to make a second hive and leave the daughter queen to care for the original colony.
Honey bees are particularly possessive about their home. Just standing too close to a colony can result in multiple stings within a matter of seconds. A single bee sting releases an alarm pheromone to alert the colony of the perceived danger and can quickly result in hundreds of stings. The stinger of a bee is located at the end of the abdomen and is barbed so it stays in the skin while pumping in venom from an anatomical feature known as the venom sac. There are a large number of people who can have allergic reactions to bees and other stinging insects. When a bee stings, the venom sac continually pumps out toxins into the body and for someone that is allergic, that can lead to anaphylactic shock which makes it difficult to breathe and can be life-threatening. It is also important to note that allergies can develop over time and exposure. Just because someone who has previously been stung did not have an allergic reaction, that does not mean that the allergic cannot occur with multiple stings.
Our Unique Approach To Bee Trapping & Hive Removal Services
Bees can be removed from a property in a 3-step process:
Step 1: A Free and Thorough Inspection
Swarms of bees are often easily visible but often an established colony may not be as easy to locate and identify. It is vital that we assess the situation to determine the best course of action. Our team of professionals will need to thoroughly inspect the entire property to ensure that there are not multiple colonies on the premises. Bees can often get into a home via the soffit which leads to the attic or a hole in a wall that leads to a larger void. These areas will allow the bees (and other critters) to safely build their colony and can potentially gain access to the living space of the home.
Step 2: Get Rid of Bees
After inspecting the property and finding possible entry points for future colonization, the current bees on property must be safely removed. If the worker bees are removed but the queen bee still remains, the hive will likely be reformed fairly quickly. Thoroughly removing the hive is essential for ensuring they do not re-colonize in another spot on your property. Our team of trained professionals are able to identify a queen bee and make certain that the hive does move elsewhere. After the hive is removed, other possible entry points can be sealed by our team to assist in preventing future issues.
Step 3: Honeybee Control
Our bee removal process will eliminate the current colony in the yard and eliminate possible entry points that could lead to bees inside your living space. However, that does not mean that another colony of bees will not decide to build a hive in your yard. Florida is a state that has a temperate climate, is very heavy in precipitation and has a wide variety of flowering plants to provide nectar. This allows several species of bees to thrive. With our bee control program, we offer a quarterly exterior inspection of the property and any hives that begin to form will be eliminated before they grow out of control.

Technically yes, but it’s not something we recommend because when a nest is threatened, bees often attack in swarms. If you insist on removing a nest on your own, we recommend that you follow standard safety procedures, use a bee suit, and proceed with caution.
Yes! For roughly 24 hours, you will see foraging bees return to their nest which is no longer there. They may be irritated, so we recommend staying away from the recently treated area until they’re no longer present.
Bees leave behind a scent that attracts other bees to the area. So after you remove a hive, you must clean the area with a strong disinfectant and seal the openings with a caulking compound.

I contacted this animal control company, and they responded quickly. Raccoons were making noises in my attic, which I discovered after I peeked into the attic. The technicians were really efficient, explaining everything they were going to do and then doing it. I got a call from their customer service rep just a few days after the raccoon was removed to make sure everything was fine. Excellent customer service and a well-done job. I highly recommend their services!– Norma M. in St. Petersburg, FL
Oren Smith & Wildout Animal & Pest Removal treated our small job as his most important job of the day. He squeezed us into his busy schedule and resolved our issue early in the morning.

Thank you so much, Oren and Mike! I called Wildout and in a matter of a few hours, they came and removed the deceased cat from underneath my house.

I will definitely call them again if I ever have the need.– Susan F. in Bradenton, FL
We had a dead feral cat in our backyard. We called the county and were told that they would forward it to a contractor. Three days passed and we HAD to get rid of the smelly dead cat. Wildout gave us a decent price to remove it, was very professional, and we will definitely call them again if we ever have another dead feral cat although we pray we won’t.– Sally G. in Bradenton, FL
Joe Figueroa is professional, pleasant, and calming! He communicates about his arrival times & if his schedule is altered (due to helping other customers).

He cares about the details of his work and looks for ways to help save money. He’s a gem!– Kat C. in Orlando, FL
Chris was pleasant, kind, and very knowledgeable about what I needed to have done in the house.

Can’t say enough about Chris and Matt. Had a pretty challenging rodent issue at the house. Kept us up at night for many nights with scratching and chewing. Chris and Matt kept at it until we found the issue and took care of it, at least all indications are that it is taken care of (fingers still crossed). Even after I expressed quite a bit of frustration due to lack of sleep, they kept on it. Very satisfied. They went above and beyond to help us out.– Jay T. in St. Petersburg, FL
I received a free estimate, FREE, for real! Susan in their office was such a help and great to speak with. She set me up with Tech Ryan who looked at my attic thoroughly as well as other areas I thought may be point of entries. No current activity found…PHEW! He did advise me on deterrence if needed. He was well mannered, respectful and kept a mask on during the whole visit. I highly recommend just on estimate alone!– MariAnne O’Neill
Oren was Awesome! He let me know upfront each step that they would need to do to take care of our Opossum problem. He also let me know upfront the costs, and there were no surprises. Oren was caring and found a nice new home for the captured Opossums. He was even able to seal up their entry point where they were getting into the attic. I hope to not have to use their service again; however, wouldn’t hesitate to give them a call if I have any animal issues in the future. I would highly recommend their services.– Rick O. in St. Petersburg, FL
Quick response and excellent service. Had sparrows and other birds nesting in several areas around 2 story home. Bird deterrent gel was placed inactive areas, and then they returned a couple of days later to chalk and seal all the way around the house. Also repaired damage to trim and touched up the paint. A+++ Highly recommend. Thank you so much!– Jen D. in Lakeland, FL

I am a Realtor and Property Manager. One of my tenants reported a possible rodent issue. I reached out to Wildout. Meghan was VERY responsive and professional! She was quick to get the estimate completed, get the job scheduled, and resolve the issue! I could not be more pleased with her services. This will be my new go-to vendor for rodent or wildlife issues! Thanks again, Meghan!!! Highly recommend.– Jeri P. in Lakeland, FL
Oren was great! He came out the same day I called his company to take care of my bird issue. I had two birds that would come and try to nest on the ledge above my front door. Previously, another company had put up a bird deterrent composed of spikes. Oren fixed the spikes to make them more effective at deterring birds and added a bird deterrent substance on the ledge. I am so thankful for his help. I highly recommend his services.– Yema E. in Sarasota, FL
I called Oren with Wildout because I had a dead animal in my AC unit. He offered to do a free inspection before quoting me a price. Upon inspection, he wisely suggested that I call the AC company to verify they would not void my warranty. He then removed the lid from the AC, removed the dead rat, and disinfected the whole area in the unit. Very prompt service, very professional and completed at a fair price.– Lisa D. in Sarasota, FL
This company is amazing. We have a rat in our garage and are absolutely not experts at all in animal control. We called this service a random internet find which ended up being a hidden gem. They came out the same day that we called and we talked about the situation. Oren was so thorough in the evaluation checking every area and explaining what he was doing and tips and tricks. I will be saving his number for future and recommend them to anyone who asks.– Valerie D. in Sarasota, FL
