Bee Control Services in Nairobi and Surrounding Areas
Bees are essential for pollination and biodiversity, but when they set up hives too close to homes, businesses, or public areas, they can present a serious hazard. In Nairobi and surrounding areas, bee infestations are more common than many people realize. Warm weather, flowering plants, and sheltered spaces in buildings create the perfect conditions for bees to nest.
While bees are not naturally aggressive, they will defend their hive if threatened. For people allergic to bee stings, even a single sting can cause severe reactions. Nairobi Pest Control offers safe, professional, and environmentally responsible bee control services across Nairobi, Kiambu, Machakos, and Kajiado Counties, ensuring both human safety and bee conservation where possible.
Understanding Bee Infestations
Bee infestations usually occur when scout bees find an ideal location for a hive. Common nesting spots in urban and peri-urban areas include wall cavities, roofs, tree hollows, chimneys, and unused sheds. Once a colony is established, it can contain thousands of bees, and removing it without the right knowledge and equipment can be dangerous.
In Nairobi neighborhoods like Karen, Lavington, Kilimani, Embakasi, and Industrial Area, and towns like Ruiru, Thika, Ongata Rongai, Kitengela, and Syokimau, bee colonies often appear in residential compounds, school grounds, farms, and warehouses. Without proper control, the risk of stings, property damage, and public concern increases.
Why Bee Control is Important
- Safety – Reduces the risk of bee stings, especially for children, pets, and people with allergies.
- Property Protection – Prevents damage from bees nesting in building structures.
- Public Health – Minimizes the danger in high-traffic areas such as schools, markets, and public parks.
- Environmental Responsibility – Ensures humane relocation whenever possible to support pollination and agriculture.
Signs You May Have a Bee Infestation
- Increased bee activity around a certain area of your property.
- Visible hives or clusters of bees on trees, walls, or ceilings.
- Buzzing sounds coming from wall cavities or roofs.
- Honey or wax stains on walls or ceilings.
Causes and Risk Factors
- Flowering gardens or trees near buildings.
- Open or damaged roof vents and wall cavities.
- Abandoned buildings offering undisturbed shelter.
- Warm, dry seasons when bees are more active in swarm formation.
