Question 1

I live in a gated Irvine community and bees are in the HOA's perimeter wall along my backyard. Who is responsible for the removal?

Accepted Answer

HOA perimeter walls are HOA responsibility in virtually all Irvine CC&Rs. We work with HOA management companies directly and can provide documentation for the association's records. If you need help getting the right contact, we can advise on next steps.

Question 2

There's a colony in the fascia board of my Irvine townhome. Is the adjacent unit's wall at risk?

Accepted Answer

Fascia and soffit removals in townhomes need to account for shared roof structures. We confirm the extent of the colony before opening any access and stay within the airspace of the unit initiating the removal. If the colony has spread into shared structure, we'll note that for the HOA or property management company before proceeding.

Question 3

The bees are coming from a planting area at the edge of our open space. Is that a call for Irvine city services or for you?

Accepted Answer

If the bees are nesting in an underground burrow in a public planting strip or open space, that's typically coordinated through the city or the Irvine Company's land management. We handle removals on private property and structures. We can help identify who the right contact is for public land questions.

Question 4

My property backs up to the Irvine Open Space and I see swarms every year in April. What's the most practical approach?

Accepted Answer

Pre-season inspection in early March is the most practical step for open-space-adjacent properties. We can assess current entry point status, seal vulnerable areas, and set a monitoring protocol before swarm season peaks. Reactive removal is fine, but proactive sealing is less disruptive.

Question 5

There's a colony in the planter box attached to the exterior wall of my Irvine townhome. Can bees be removed from a planter box cavity without gutting the box?

Accepted Answer

Planter-box removals are a job type we see in Irvine's townhome communities. The drainage gaps and soil moisture create good cavity conditions behind the planter face. We extract the colony from the cavity behind the planter, remove comb from the soil and cavity space, and seal the entry. The planter structure itself typically stays intact. Replanting after is up to you.
