Stinging Insects · May–Sep peak
Bee Control in Dayton, OH
Bees around a Dayton home can be honey bees in a wall void, carpenter bees drilling eaves and decks, or bumble bees nesting low in mulch and crawl spaces or wall voids. Correct identification matters — the treatment for each is different, and so is whether the colony should be relocated instead of treated.
Signs you have bees
- Steady bee traffic in and out of one gap in siding, soffit or brick
- Perfectly round 3/8-inch holes in any wood — eaves, railings, deck framing, fences, sheds and playsets
- Sawdust piles below wood trim (carpenter bees)
- Buzzing or a warm spot inside a wall
- Low ground nesting in mulch beds or under a shed
How we treat it
- 01
Species identification on site before anything is applied
- 02
The entry point is their front door, although the actual nest may be a bit of a distance away
- 03
Treatment or referral for relocation when honey bees can be saved
- 04
Void treatment, then information about sealing so the space is not re-colonized
- 05
Carpenter bee gallery treatment and exterior wood protection on eaves, decks, fences, sheds and playsets

Bees questions Dayton homeowners ask
- How fast can you get out for bees?
- Most Miami Valley calls are scheduled within the same week, and stinging-insect emergencies are often handled same or next day. Call the office to schedule — a licensed technician performs the treatment.
- Is the treatment safe around children and pets?
- Yes. We use EPA-registered products applied by a licensed applicator under ODA Company License #12706, placed where pests travel rather than where your family does. We will tell you exactly how long to stay off treated surfaces.
- Do I have to sign a contract?
- No. One-time service, quarterly and monthly programs are all available, and nothing auto-locks you in. Quarterly and monthly plans are warranted between services for all general pests and mice, all year — bee treatments are scheduled services and are not included in that between-service warranty.
