Protect Your Phoenix Home from Pests This Fall

/ Professional Bee Removal / By

As the blazing Phoenix summer gives way to cooler fall temperatures, many homeowners breathe a sigh of relief. But while the triple-digit days may be behind us, the shift in seasons brings new challenges for keeping your home safe, comfortable, and pest-free — especially when it comes to bees and other stinging insects.

At Arizona Professional Bee Removal, we know that end-of-summer and fall are prime times for pests to seek out shelter and food sources. Here’s what you need to know about preparing your home for the months ahead.

1. Watch for Late-Season Bee Activity

Many people think bee season ends with summer, but in the Phoenix area, bee activity can persist well into fall. Africanized honey bees, common in Arizona, remain active in cooler months and may become more aggressive as food sources dwindle.

  • Check your property for signs of bee colonies — especially in sheds, attics, wall voids, and roof eaves.
  • Pay attention to increased buzzing or unusual insect traffic near vents, cracks, or crevices.
  • If you suspect a hive, do not attempt to remove it yourself. Professional bee removal ensures safety and prevents re-infestation.

2. Seal Entry Points

Fall is a time when pests — not just bees — look for warm, sheltered spaces.

  • Inspect your home for gaps in siding, holes in screens, and cracks around doors and windows.
  • Seal any openings larger than a quarter-inch. Bees can enter through surprisingly small gaps.
  • Check attic vents and chimneys — common entry points for bees seeking shelter.

3. Maintain Your Yard & Landscaping

Overgrown plants and cluttered yards can make your property more attractive to bees, wasps, and other pests.

  • Trim trees and bushes, especially those touching your home’s roof or siding.
  • Remove unused outdoor furniture or equipment where pests could nest.
  • Keep flowering plants and shrubs well-maintained — bees are drawn to late-blooming flowers in fall.

4. Secure Outdoor Trash & Food Sources

Fall gatherings and backyard barbecues are common in Arizona, but food and sweet drinks can lure stinging insects.

  • Keep outdoor trash bins tightly sealed.
  • Clean up spills quickly, especially sugary drinks or fruit.
  • Store pet food indoors when not in use.

5. Schedule Preventive Pest Control

Many Phoenix homeowners wait until they see a pest problem, but by then, it’s often more difficult and costly to fix.

  • A preventive inspection by a licensed pest control professional can identify potential risks before they turn into infestations.
  • Our team offers safe, humane bee removal and relocation, ensuring that bees are preserved while keeping your family safe.

6. Why Bee Removal in Fall Is Critical

If a bee colony establishes itself in your home during cooler months, it can remain dormant and go unnoticed — until spring, when activity spikes. At that point, the colony will be larger, more difficult to remove, and potentially more aggressive.
By addressing bee problems in the fall, you avoid:

  • Expensive structural repairs from honeycomb damage
  • Larger, harder-to-remove colonies in spring
  • The risk of bee swarms near your family or pets

7. Work With a Local Expert

Phoenix’s unique climate and bee population require specialized knowledge. Africanized bees are more defensive than their European counterparts, and attempting removal without proper training can be dangerous.
Arizona Professional Bee Removal is locally owned and operated, with years of experience safely removing and relocating bees throughout the Valley.
