Identifying & Removing Bee Activity in The Tri-Cities
The common bee types found around homes and businesses in Johnson City, Bristol, and Kingsport—and how our local experts handle them safely.
In Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and throughout Northeast Tennessee & SW Virginia, bees are most commonly noticed around eaves, soffits, decks, sheds, wall voids, and flowering landscaping. Some bee activity is harmless, but nests near living areas can create real risk—especially for anyone with allergies.
Honey Bees: These are beneficial pollinators, but when they build a hive in a wall, attic, or structure, the situation can escalate quickly. Proper identification and a careful plan matter.
Carpenter Bees: Often seen hovering near decks, fascia boards, pergolas, and exposed wood. They bore into wood to create tunnels and can cause damage over time if the activity continues.
Bumble Bees: Usually nest in sheltered outdoor areas (sometimes near the ground). They’re generally less aggressive, but nests near doorways, play areas, or high-traffic zones can still be a problem.
At Pest Detectives Pest Control, we don’t guess—we identify what you’re dealing with, locate the nesting area, and choose the safest, most effective solution for your property.
Our Effective Bee Control Process in Tri-Cities and Nearby Areas
Our Effective Bee Control Process in Tri-Cities and Nearby Areas
A strategic, multi-step approach designed for safe bee removal and long-term prevention around your home or business.
A strategic, multi-step approach designed for safe bee removal and long-term prevention around your home or business.
Comprehensive Inspection
We inspect the problem area to identify the bee type, locate the nest or entry point, and determine whether the activity is structural (inside a wall/void) or outdoor (near decks, eaves, or landscaping).
Customized Treatment Plan
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to bees. We tailor the plan based on species, nest location, and risk level—prioritizing safe handling, practical outcomes, and prevention.
Safe & Effective Application
We perform removal/treatment using targeted methods designed to resolve the issue without unnecessary disruption. When bee activity involves structural entry points, we focus on addressing the source—not just the visible insects.
Exclusion & Prevention Recommendations
We provide guidance to reduce future activity, including sealing gaps, screening vents, correcting attractants, and protecting exposed wood (especially for carpenter bee prevention).
Follow-Up
If the situation requires it, we schedule follow-up to confirm activity is resolved and address any remaining hotspots.

Get answers to the most common questions we receive about bee activity in Johnson City, Kingsport, and Bristol.
How do I know if I have bees or wasps?
Bees are usually fuzzy and rounder, and you’ll often see them moving calmly in and out of a hive or wall cavity. They’re focused on flowers and are less aggressive unless the nest is disturbed. Wasps are typically sleek, shiny, and narrow-waisted, and they tend to be more aggressive, especially near their nest. Their nests are often paper-like under eaves, in soffits, sheds, or sometimes in the ground.
