Who is a bee exterminator in Union, NJ?

Silver Bullet Pest Control is a licensed bee exterminator serving Union, NJ and Union County (NJ License 90568B): call 973-510-2585. We treat bee nests that can’t be safely relocated, such as colonies deep in wall voids, soffits and structural cavities. We start by confirming the species, because honey bees, carpenter bees and wasps need very different solutions. Honey bees are relocated when the colony is accessible and the timing works, and carpenter bees are treated in the wood they tunnel into. Once activity has stopped, we seal entry points and give prevention tips. We speak Spanish.

Why Union homes get bees

Union is a Union County township of mostly single-family homes with gardens, wood decks, porches and trim, plus gaps around siding and soffits. Flowers, water and sheltered spaces draw bees in. These are the three bee problems homeowners run into most often.

Honey bees in walls and soffits

  • A steady stream of bees in and out of one spot
  • Humming or buzzing inside a wall or ceiling
  • A large cluster or swarm settled in one place

Honey bees swarm in spring and can set up a colony in a wall void, soffit or tree. When the colony is accessible and the timing works, we relocate it. Deep or very large colonies in busy spots may need treatment instead. Getting a colony out of a wall usually means opening the wall and repairing it after, so that work is planned and quoted in advance. Never seal the hole while bees are still using it.

Carpenter bees in fascia, trim and decks

  • Small round holes in exposed wood
  • Fine sawdust under fascia, rails or decking
  • Bees hovering around the same boards each spring

Carpenter bees are less about stinging and more about wear on the house. Repeated tunneling can weaken fascia boards, trim, railings and decking, and woodpeckers after the larvae make it worse.

Bumble bees and ground bees

  • Bees going in and out of the soil or a lawn
  • Bumble bees under a deck or in insulation
  • Bees near a walkway, patio or play area

Bumble bees often nest in ground cavities, insulation voids and protected spots outside. Ground-nesting bees are generally less aggressive than wasps, but the nest should still be identified and handled carefully around kids and pets.

Which bee do you have? It changes the plan

Getting the species right matters more than most people expect: a honey bee colony and a carpenter bee problem call for very different solutions.

Bee How to spot it Where it nests What we usually do
Honey bee Fuzzy, golden-brown, rounder body Wall voids, soffits, trees, swarms on branches Relocate when accessible; treat if deep, huge or in heavy foot traffic
Carpenter bee Large bee, round holes and sawdust in wood Fascia, trim, decks, soffits, exposed wood Treat the tunnels, then check the wood for spots that need sealing or repair
Bumble bee Large and very fuzzy Ground cavities, insulation voids, under decks Options depend on where the nest is
Mason & solitary bees Small, usually calm Small holes in wood, soil or masonry Identify first; often low risk
Wasps, yellow jackets, hornets Smooth, slimmer, brighter stripes Eaves, ground holes, walls, trees Faster treatment when near people or doors

Saw a swarm? Keep a safe distance and don’t spray it. Swarms are often calm, but they should still be handled by a professional. If someone is stung and has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or dizziness, call 911.

How our bee service works

1

Inspection

We identify the species, find the nest and check the risk to people nearby.

2

Plan

We decide between live removal and targeted treatment, and tell you the price before any work starts.

3

Removal

We carry out a safe extraction or a precise treatment. Most jobs take one visit; big or hard-to-reach colonies, especially inside walls, can take longer.

4

Prevention

Once the nest is gone and activity has stopped, we seal entry points and explain how to reduce what attracts bees to the spot.

Bees in Union, season by season

🌱

Spring

Honey bee swarms look for a new home and carpenter bees start drilling into wood trim and decks.

☀️

Summer

Activity peaks around gardens, decks and yards. Colonies in walls keep growing.

🍂

Fall

Yellow jacket and wasp colonies are at their biggest and get more defensive around food.

❄️

Winter

Visible activity drops, but a honey bee colony in a wall stays alive through winter. A good time to repair wood and seal gaps that bees are no longer using.

Businesses, schools & property managers

Bees near an entrance, patio or walkway at a restaurant, school, apartment building or retail center need fast attention. We handle bees and stinging insects for businesses and multi-unit buildings. See commercial pest control in Union.

Bee Exterminator Questions in Union

Do you kill honey bees or relocate them?

We relocate honey bees whenever it is safe and practical. Treatment is used when a colony is deep in a wall, very large or defensive, or in a high-traffic spot. If the colony is inside a wall, opening and repairing the wall is planned and quoted in advance.

Can carpenter bees damage my house?

Yes. Carpenter bees tunnel into exposed wood and can weaken fascia, trim, railings and decks over time, and woodpeckers going after the larvae can make it worse.

How do I know if I have bees in my wall?

Look for a steady stream of bees going in and out of one spot, or listen for humming or buzzing inside a wall or ceiling.

What attracts bees to a home?

Flowers, water, sheltered nesting spots, exposed untreated wood, wall voids and gaps around siding or trim.

How much does bee removal cost?

It depends on the species, nest location, height, access, colony size and whether wall, soffit or wood damage is involved. We give a free quote and tell you the price before any work starts.
