This is due to the fact that there may have been bees out gathering food to bring back to the colony when the treatment was done. There is a potential that you may see bee activity after a bee colony has been removed. Each honeycomb removal is unique and a quite extensive process but Northwest specialists have the training and experience to properly handle honey comb removal. When a bee colony infests a structure, they quickly build honeycomb to preserve their major food source-which is honey. The traps are then maintained on a weekly basis by our Bee Master Technicians. They are hung in a high location due to pheromone scents traveling down and out from location. Bee traps are treated with a surfactant or pyrethrum product if a hive is being established. The trap provides prime conditions for hive survival.
Two basket traps have a pheromone luring swarms into the basket. These traps are maintained on a monthly basis by our Bee Master Technicians. They are hung in a high location due to pheromone scents traveling down and out from the location. Scout traps are placed near a water source so that bees may be attracted or other areas prone to high activity. The sticky surface of the trap does not allow the scout bees to leave the area and bring other colony members back to establish a hive. A pheromone is used to lure bees away from structures and heavily trafficked areas in both of these services:

Swarm queen bnbs crack#
A sign of bees nesting in walls is steady activity entering in and out of a crack or crevice on the outside of a structure. When nests form, Northwest master technicians remove them in a safe and effective manner. Left unchecked, a nest can grow to more than 40,000 workers. A typical newly formed swarm or nest can have 5,000 to 10,000 workers. Northwest Exterminating recommends bee swarms and nests be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent stinging incidents.
