Let's Be Real, Bees Are No Joke – UNIPEST | Santa Clarita Pest Control - Pest Control

The buzzing noise is not just annoying; it’s a warning. And it’s often rightfully feared.

Depending on the year and the stats, bees, particularly the aggressive “Killer” Africanized Bees, consistently rank among the top three most dangerous animals in North America.

Every year, thousands of people, pets, and livestock get stung, injured, or worse, just for getting too close to the wrong hive.

But as dangerous as they are, bees are also crucial to our ecosystem.

Fortunately, at Unipest, eco-friendly beehive removal is one of our specialties, and we do it with precision, care, and the safety of your home (and the environment) in mind.

In Santa Clarita, 80-90% of feral hives are Africanized. These aren’t your typical honeybees. They’re hyper-defensive, multiply fast, and require a completely different approach. Spraying them with pesticides or smoking them with pine needles might bring temporary relief. But if the hive material itself isn’t removed, the wax, the honey, the comb, all you’re doing is hitting pause. The queen and her young are insulated because of those chemicals, and within a week, the hive will be back in full force.

That’s why we focus on complete removal, rather than taking shortcuts.

We use high-tech tools like thermal imaging and fiber-optic cameras to locate the hive, whether it’s behind stucco, deep in a wall, or hiding in your attic. Once we’ve found it, we carefully cut into the wall, remove every bit of the hive, and then patch it back up so well you’d never know we were there.

Unipest started right here in Santa Clarita as a garage project between a father and son, and we’ve never lost that family feel. Today, we’re proud to be the valley’s go-to team for eco-friendly pest and termite control. Every technician on our crew is personally trained by our founder, Cardon Ellis, and his father, Craig, still helps run the phones.
