How to Get Rid of Ants in Perth Homes Quickly
You might be surprised to see bee infestations, as they are more common than you think — particularly in warm cities like Perth. Having a hive built into your home can cause property damage and at worst safety risks. You will need to catch the signals before their colony becomes too large. But if bees get the wrong address and move into your home, they can be destructive.
1. Constant Buzzing Sounds
A lot of times, a constant buzzing sound inside the home is one of the earliest indicators that bees have taken up residence in your walls. It could be from inside walls, ceilings, chimney or roof void. It is initially low and will become more intense when the colony gets big enough. During the day, when the bees are most active you should be able to see it.
2. Bees Flying In and Out of One Spot
If you attracted one or two bees to your yard, not a big problem. A constant stream of bees going in and out of the same hole of a wall, roof, or vent is a sure sign. Bees are consistent in their trips to and from the hive, they will take the same path every trip. A continual traffic pattern next to a small opening is a good sign of a colony within.
3. Sticky Patches on Walls or Ceilings
By allowing a hive to grow inside your walls, you could end up with honey leaking through the wall and beeswax. Upon entering into your car the issue is, this wetness can cause wet or sticky spots on inside surfaces. These patches will eventually discolor or even blister the paint. The honey also lures other pests like ants and cockroaches, which complicates the issue.
4. Strange Odors
Sweet and musky, like an old beehive. However, as honey accumulates and the smell of fermenting or dead bees starts to seep out a stench can develop. And it gets even more dramatic in constricted areas such as attic spaces, crawlspaces or wall cavities. If you can smell something sweet and peculiar in some parts of the house, this is the time to do everything.
5. Increased Bee Presence Indoors
Are you noting lots of dead or slow-moving bees inside your home, particularly using residence windows? That’s another clear sign. It might be the bees that have entered from a neighbouring hive, imitating in light. If you continue to see them in the same place, there is likely a nest in the walls or around your home's structure.
6. Pet Reactions and Behavior Changes
Pets sometimes notice bee activity before we do. Dogs could bark or scratch on a wall where bees are nesting, and cats might paw playfully at buzzing sounds. If your pet has been acting weird in one section of your house, follow up.
7. Visible Hive or Nest Structures
You can see parts of a hive in some circumstances, especially under eaves or in sheds. It will typically be constructed in a dark, secluded spot, but sometimes an external location prominently on display will be chosen by the bees. The wax honeycomb, or even the swarm of bees close to your roof/ trees is an indication that a hive has taken root or started forming.
What To Do Next
If you notice any of these signs, do not attempt to handle the hive yourself. If you are allergic to stings, disturbing a beehive can be fatal. It is better to have a pest control professional in Perth handle the job.
