WHY CONTROL HONEY BEES?
Honey bees play a vital role as pollinators—but when they build hives too close to homes or businesses in Iowa City, things can get dangerous fast.
Whether it’s the risk of stings, structural damage, or disrupted outdoor time, it’s a situation that needs to be handled carefully. That’s where we come in.
At Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management, we offer humane, eco-friendly honey bee removal in Iowa City that protects both your space and the bees.
Here’s why local homeowners and business owners trust us to help:
1. Avoid Painful and Risky Stings
A single sting is bad enough—but for anyone with allergies, it’s a medical emergency. We safely remove hives so you don’t have to risk getting close.
2. Stop Hidden Damage Before It Spreads
When bees nest inside walls, roofs, or attics, the damage adds up fast—wax, moisture, and honey can ruin insulation and attract pests. Early removal saves money and hassle.
3. Take Back Your Outdoor Space
It’s hard to enjoy your garden, porch, or patio when bees are hovering nearby. We help you get back to outdoor living without the fear of accidental stings.
If you’ve spotted a hive around your home or business, let’s deal with it safely and responsibly. Call Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management today for expert honey bee removal in Iowa City.

Important Notes:
- 1
Swarm Management: If you spot a honey bee swarm on a tree, shrub, or near your home, it’s usually best to leave it undisturbed. Swarms often relocate on their own. Ensure that you and others maintain a safe distance to prevent any disturbances.
- 2
Health Hazards: When a swarm is in a high-traffic area or poses a health risk, it’s essential to get professional help immediately. This is especially critical in public spaces where the risk of disturbance is higher.
- 3
Addressing Established Colonies: If bees have settled in your home’s siding, chimney, or soffits, it’s crucial to act quickly before they start producing honey and causing more significant problems. Reach out to Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management for secure and efficient bee removal to safeguard your property.

HOW TO SPOT HONEY BEE ACTIVITY
Honey bees can be hard to spot, but certain signs can indicate their presence. Identifying these signs is key for effective bee control. Watch for the following indicators:
1. Distinctive Behaviors
Honey bee swarms, led by a queen, consist of hundreds to thousands of bees. They often briefly fly before clustering on tree branches, shrubs, or structures.
2. Signs of Swarming
Swarms may remain in one location for hours to several days, depending on conditions and the time needed for scout bees to find a new nest. Once found, the swarm relocates.
3. Increased Activity
Honey bees don’t leave typical tracks, but you may notice more activity around flowers, gardens, and potential nesting sites. Bee droppings may also appear near the hive or on surfaces below their flight path.

Reliable workers! Very professional!
Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful- I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).
She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
What a great experience Ronnie Hayes came to our place he came to our place assessed that we had a few raccoons in our attic. He even put a trap on the roof and for them out the same day then the relocated them. For a very responsible place.
Highly recommend using this company for any pest control needs and or wildlife issues.
