Bee & Wasp Removal in Cape Town

Bees & Wasps Control in Cape Town

Cape honeybee colonies are common across the Cape Peninsula, often nesting in roof voids, chimneys, and old wall cavities of the city's older homes in the Southern Suburbs and Atlantic Seaboard. Given the value placed on honeybee conservation in the Western Cape, relocation is strongly preferred over extermination wherever access allows.

Signs You Have a Bees & Wasps Problem

• Visible nest in roof eaves, wall cavities, garden trees, or under structures
• High concentration of bee or wasp activity near one point of the building
• Honey seeping through walls or ceilings (established honeybee colony)
• Aggressive bee or wasp behaviour near a specific area

Treatment Methods Used in Cape Town

• Bee relocation to a local beekeeper where possible
• Wasp nest removal and insecticide treatment of the nest cavity
• Honeycomb removal from wall cavities to prevent honey damage and secondary pests
• Entry point sealing after the nest is removed
