Bees in the HVAC duct

Bees in the HVAC duct

My associate and I were unable to run the a/c until the bee complications were taken care of

Last Spring, I decided to thoroughly clean my condo from top to bottom. I laundered all of the linens, organized the closets, washed the windows and cleaned everything from the overhead light fixtures to behind furniture, then multiple times, I found a bee flying around the room. I carefully captured the bee and released it outside. I couldn’t figure out where they were coming from. It wasn’t until I started up the a/c for the first time that I realized the bees had built their nest inside the HVAC duct, then when the rush of cool air hit the bees, they poured from the supply vents into the house. There were a lot of them, and they were seriously agitated. My associate and I needed to vacate the house. I instantaneously called my Heating and A/C company and explained the problem, however she told me that bees are a protected species and that I’d need to contact a professional bee removal corporation. While the bee business was very good about arriving quickly and handling the problem, this resulted in some destruction to my walls, ceilings and HVAC duct. I then had no option but to hire the Heating and A/C company to repair, clean and seal the duct system. The bees had left behind a fantastic deal of debris inside the pipes that would potentially block airflow and cause complications with indoor air quality. All of these various services added up to a fantastic deal of time, stress and expense. My associate and I were unable to run the a/c until the bee complications were taken care of. The dwelling was seriously boiling the whole time.
