Bees in the Roof? Roof & Attic Bee Removal on the Treasure Coast
Shingle edges, tile gaps, ridge vents and gable vents lead bees into your attic. We get them out alive and our licensed roofer closes it up.
Bees on a roof are usually getting in at the drip edge, a gap under tile, a ridge vent or a gable vent, and building in the attic or between rafters. Removal means reaching the comb, either from inside the attic or by lifting roofing, then rescuing the colony, removing all comb, sealing the entry and having a licensed roofer finish the repair.
How Bees Get Into Treasure Coast Roofs
Asphalt shingle is the most common roof in Port St. Lucie and much of St. Lucie County, and the most common entry is a gap at the drip edge or fascia board. Concrete and clay tile, common in Tradition, St. Lucie West and gated communities in Palm City and Stuart, leaves open ends and gaps that make easy doorways. Metal roofs on older Martin County homes and outbuildings have ridge caps and trim with the same problem.
Hurricane repairs matter too. Patched fascia, reused flashing and rushed soffit work after a big storm leave the kind of gaps scouts find in a single afternoon.
Attic Access or Roof Access?
If there's safe attic access over the colony, we often work from inside. It's cleaner and keeps the roof intact. When the colony is in a low-slope section, a closed rafter bay or under tile, we open it from the roof side. Either way we protect insulation and ceilings and remove every comb. Honey left in an attic will find its way into the drywall below.

Roof Repair After Removal
Openings are closed by our licensed roofer to match your roof, whether that's shingle, concrete tile, clay tile or metal. We also screen or seal the vents and gaps the bees used so the next swarm can't follow the same route in.
Roof Removal, Step by Step
- Find the entry and the comb. Flight path from the ground, then a thermal scan from the attic or roof.
- Choose the access. Attic side when possible, roof side when necessary.
- Rescue the colony. Bees, brood and queen boxed alive.
- Remove comb and protect the ceiling. All comb out; damaged insulation bagged and replaced.
- Roof and vent repair. Licensed roofer closes the opening; entry points screened or sealed.
Cost
Roof jobs vary with height, pitch, roofing material and colony size. A one-story shingle roof with attic access is moderate. A steep two-story tile roof, or a colony that's been in place for a year or more, is on the higher end. Roof repair is quoted along with the removal.

Bees don't chew roofing, but the comb and honey they leave can stain and soften ceilings and attract pests that do damage.
