Feral honeybee swarms peak in spring, don’t let a hive establish in your roof or wall cavity.
Rockypest is Perth’s trusted partner for bee control and hive removal.
Bees play a vital role in our ecosystem, but a swarm settling into your roof, wall cavity, or garden is a different problem entirely.
Our licensed technicians assess every hive before treatment, using methods that protect your family and pets while managing the colony safely.
If you’ve spotted bee activity around your Rockingham, Mandurah, or Baldivis property, we can help.
Signs You Have a Bee Problem
🐝
Frequent Bee Traffic
Bees repeatedly flying in and out of one spot on your roof, eaves, or wall cavity usually means an established hive, not a stray visitor.
🔊
Buzzing in the Walls or Ceiling
A low, constant hum from inside a wall cavity or roof space is one of the clearest signs of a hive that’s been there a while.
🍯
Honey or Wax Stains
Dark staining or a sweet smell coming through a wall or ceiling can mean a hive has outgrown its space.
🪺
A Visible Hive or Comb
Exposed wax comb in a tree, shed, meter box, or roof void is an active colony that needs professional assessment.
☠️
Dead Bees Near Vents or Windows
A build up of dead bees around a vent, window sill, or door frame often points to a hive nearby.
📅
Sudden Activity in Spring
Feral honeybee colonies swarm and search for new nest sites mainly in spring and early summer, so a sudden spike in sightings during this period is worth acting on.
Perth tip: feral honeybee swarms are most active from October through December. If you notice a hive establishing before summer, having it assessed early is far easier than dealing with a fully grown colony in January.

Understanding Perth’s Bee Problem
Why Feral Bees Are Different
Western Australia is home to roughly 800 native bee species. Most are solitary, non-aggressive, and harmless to humans.
The feral European honeybee is a different story. Introduced more than 150 years ago for pollination and honey production, it has since spread well beyond commercial hives.
Feral colonies are aggressive, swarm in large numbers, and are behind most of the bee problems reported around Perth homes.
The Health Risk
A honeybee sting can cause swelling that lasts a week to ten days.
For people with allergies, a sting can trigger anaphylaxis, a medical emergency involving restricted breathing and swelling of the tongue and throat.
Why DIY Removal Is Risky
Treating a hive yourself, especially one lodged in a wall cavity or roof, can go wrong quickly.
Pesticides can leave dead bees to decay inside your walls, producing an odour that lingers for weeks. A disturbed colony can also respond by aggressively defending its nest.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does bee control cost in Perth?
Bee control with Rockypest is $176, which includes inspection, hive assessment, and treatment. Every treatment comes with a 3-month warranty. Larger or hard-to-reach hives may affect the final price, and we’ll confirm this with you before starting.
Will you kill the bees or relocate them?
We aim to manage every colony with as much care as the situation allows. Where a hive is in a wall cavity, roof, or another spot posing a real safety risk to your household, professional removal or treatment is often the only practical option.
How urgent is it to deal with a bee hive?
Feral honeybee swarms peak in spring and early summer in Perth. A sting can cause swelling for a week to ten days, and for people with allergies it can trigger anaphylaxis. The sooner a hive is assessed, the smaller and easier it usually is to manage.
Can I remove a bee hive myself?
We’d recommend against it. Pesticides applied to a hive in a wall or roof can leave dead bees to decay, causing an odour that lingers for weeks, and a disturbed colony may aggressively defend its nest. A professional inspection is the safer starting point.
