Close nearby doors and windows to keep them from entering the house
Turn off outdoor lights at night if they are attracting bees
Remove food, sugary drinks, and trash from the area
Avoid using sprays or smoke near a hive or swarm
Contact a local beekeeper for safe bee removal if they are honey bees
Call pest control for a nest in a wall, roof, or other hard-to-reach area
Seal cracks, gaps, and openings after the bees are gone
Remove standing water and other attractants around your property
Wear protective clothing if you must be near the area
Leave a swarm alone if it is resting temporarily and call a professional
Seek emergency help if anyone is allergic or has trouble breathing after a sting
