Fox Pest Control’s Lexington Bee Exterminator Service
Bee season comes every year without fail. It’s tough to mentally prepare for all the little bees that steal your patio each summer, especially since they seem to congregate in the worst areas. Sadly, when you do find a nest, you’re stuck trying to remove it yourself — and that can be dangerous. Don’t risk it! Let Fox Pest Control do the dirty work.
Signs of a Bee Infestation
You might already know for sure that you have a Bee problem. But here are a couple of the most common signs of a bee infestation in Lexington.
Sightings
Bees are most often seen flying near flowers, from fruit tree blooms to decorative plants.
Activity
Carpenter bees drill holes in wood. These are usually found in uncured wood in trees, fences, homes, wooden decks or outdoor furniture, or telephone poles.
Nests
Some kinds of bees make a visible nest. Most of these are either honeybees or a type of wasp, which are often mistaken for bees.
What You Need to Know About Bees
- Bees like to hide in the cracks and spaces around your home. This includes around pipes, doors and windows, and by the sill plates and foundation.
- Sometimes the bees we see outside are actually honey bees. These bees are essential to the environment and are usually harmless, as they spread pollen between plants and collect nectar for honey.
- If honey bees become invasive, you may need to contact a local beekeeper to remove them. Luckily, Fox Pest Control treats for all other types of bees.
Helpful Bee Prevention Tips:
- Always clean and cover your garbage cans.
- Use silicone-based caulk, fine mesh steel metal screens, and steel plates to seal common entry points
- Watch for nests.

Here Is Why You Should Call Fox Pest Control
Bee Control FAQ
What should I do if I find a honeybee nest on my property?
If your area has problems with honey bees, it’s best to call a professional removal expert with the ability to relocate the bees while minimizing any harm to them and to you.
Are bees dangerous?
Most honey bees are not aggressive unless disturbed, although areas in the southern parts of the United States — like Texas, Florida, and California — are seeing increasing numbers of Africanized honey bees, which are extremely aggressive.
Can honey bees make a nest in my house?
Honey bees generally don’t like to nest in an area that has a lot of traffic from humans or predatory insects. Most honey bees rarely infest homes and prefer to be left alone. The one exception to this is the Africanized honey bee, which is extremely aggressive.
Does Fox Pest Control treat honey bees?
Currently, none of our branches treat honey bees or remove their nests. Since they are a protected species in many states across the country, we rely on honeybee removal experts in many cases.
How do I find a good honey bee removal service?
Find a responsible honey bee removal expert who follows state regulations. Try to preserve the hive and the honey as much as possible.
How do honey bees survive the winter?
As the weather gets colder, all the bees in the hive gather together and vibrate their abdomens to make warmth. A few bees will die, even in a strong hive, but native bees are well equipped to survive the winter.
How do I tell the difference between a honeybee and a wasp?
Body Color and Shape. Wasps have an elongated abdomen, and, usually, bright colors that stand out. Honey bees have a more muted yellow and black or brown appearance and have a more rounded body shape.
Hairs. Honey bees also have a large amount of fine hairs on their body and legs, making them look fuzzy. Few wasps have any hairs, and most have none at all.
Legs. Some honey bees that forage for nectar will also have yellowish clumps (pollen baskets) on their hind legs.
How do bees contribute to the environment?
Besides making delicious honey, honey bees are valuable to the environment because they spread pollen between plants. This keeps plants strong and healthy and allows trees and other fruit-bearing plants to produce delicious fruit.
What are Africanized honey bees?
Africanized honey bees are the product of an experiment in Brazil where a scientist bred wild African honey bees with European honey bees.
Where are Africanized honey bees located?
After they were bred, Africanized honeybees were accidentally set loose. They spread throughout South America and have reached the southern United States, from Florida to Texas and California.
Are Africanized Honey Bees dangerous?
Africanized honey bees are extremely dangerous because they have large numbers of stinging bees in a single hive that are all willing to attack with little provocation.
What should I do if I find an Africanized honey bee hive?
If you live in a state with Africanized honey bees, be extremely cautious. In some of our areas, you can call Fox to be directed to a trustworthy Africanized honey bee removal expert.

Lexington Pest Control Reviews
We have never needed pest control in the past and we randomly called Fox. We couldn't be happier with Phil the technician that came to service our home. Phil was extremely knowledgeable, thorough and patient. He answered all of our questions and put us at ease. If all of Fox's technicians are like Phil then you'll be in good hands.
We've been using FOX for the last few years for seasonal pest maintenance. Every time we see some sort of pest activity outside our regular seasonal treatment, they come quick and take care of it. The workers are always kind and courteous and answer my questions and concerns. We've recommended this company to a number of family and friends who have also used FOX for treatment.
