A licensed and insured contractor removes the colony and seals the chimney, eave or wall so bees cannot come back.

Older La Mesa homes and their weak spots

La Mesa is one of the older cities in East County, and its housing shows it. Around La Mesa Village and the streets near the trolley you will find 1920s through 1950s bungalows and Spanish style homes with wood eaves, decorative vents and masonry chimneys. On the hills toward Mount Helix and Grossmont, larger postwar homes add brick fireplaces, wood shake and tile roofs.

Those chimneys matter. An unused fireplace flue is a dark, dry shaft, and La Mesa gets more calls about bees in chimneys than most cities we serve. Lake Murray, the brushy slopes of Mount Helix and the canyons running down toward the freeway support wild colonies that send swarms into neighborhoods each spring.

La Mesa bee removal FAQ

Bees are flying in and out of my chimney. Should I light a fire?

No. Smoke and heat can drive angry bees into the house and melt wax and honey into the flue. Close the damper and call for removal.

Do you work on homes near La Mesa Village with original woodwork?

Yes. The crew opens only what is needed and closes it carefully so older trim and eaves look right afterward.

Can you install a chimney cap after removal?

A screened cap is one of the best ways to keep future swarms out, and it can be added to your quote.

Is Mount Helix part of your La Mesa service area?

Yes, the La Mesa side of Mount Helix and the nearby unincorporated area are both covered.
