The beach and pier district
Condo buildings line A1A near the rebuilt Fisher Family Pier. Salt air wears down shutter tracks and sealant, and those openings are where scout bees look first, often several floors above the pool deck.
Short answer
A Pompano Beach colony might sit in an A1A oceanfront condo, a Harbor Village canal home, a Cresthaven ranch house or an Andrews Industrial District warehouse, and wherever it is, it leaves alive. On our thermal camera the comb shows up as a warm patch, which tells us where to open. Every piece then comes out, the bees go to a beekeeper, and licensed contractors from our own company patch the gap.

Pompano Beach at a glance
- Four kinds of property
- Beachfront towers, postwar canal and ranch streets, Palm Aire's golf condos and a warehouse district.
- Where colonies hide
- Shutter housings and balcony voids by the sand, addition seams and soffits inland, hollow panels and roll-up door boxes in warehouses.
- Who signs off
- Condo boards and managers ask for our insurance certificate; businesses want work timed around deliveries.
Pompano Beach is named for the Florida pompano, an Atlantic fish, and the end of its rebuilt pier (reopened in 2020) is shaped like one. Incorporated as the Town of Pompano in 1908, the city now runs from 1950s canal streets to condo towers and an industrial district, so the access, approvals and repair behind our live removal change block by block. Neighboring cities are on our Broward coverage page.
Oceanfront condos along A1A
Condo buildings line Pompano's beachfront, and on the older ones the stucco, balcony rails and shutters have usually been patched more than once. Bees move into those repairs. Shutter boxes, hollow balcony dividers and gaps around rooftop equipment are the usual spots, and the board or manager has to approve the work. The condo and high-rise removal page and our guide to bees in hurricane shutters go deeper.
Six corners of Pompano Beach and how bees get into each
Hillsboro Inlet waterfront
The beach runs north to the inlet, where Hillsboro Inlet Park looks across the channel at the lighthouse, first lit in 1907, on the Hillsboro Beach side. Boats left under covers at docks near the inlet give swarms shade and shelter.
Harbor Village
Platted in the 1950s between Federal Highway and the Intracoastal, with deepwater canals that reach the ocean through the Hillsboro Inlet and no fixed bridge in the way. Backyard docks and boats mean colonies turn up in dock boxes, boat consoles and roof edges.
Cresthaven
Laid out between Dixie and Federal highways, from Copans Road north to Sample Road, with block ranch houses that many first owners used as winter homes. Old vented eaves and addition seams are the usual way in (soffit removal).
Palm Aire
Southwest Pompano's golf community began with a course in 1959 and filled in with condominium developments, many of them mid-rise buildings, plus villas. Shared walls make any colony an association matter.
Andrews Industrial District
An industrial neighborhood on the city's official map, running along I-95 south of Atlantic Boulevard. Pallet stacks and idle equipment out back catch passing swarms, which can often be boxed up (swarm removal) before they move indoors.
Canals, docks and boats on the east side
Residential canals cut through much of eastern Pompano and empty into the Intracoastal. With water at every seawall, bees at a dock ladder or pool step are usually just drinking (why bees visit pools). Boats are another story: cuddy cabins, console compartments and folded canvas all shelter comb. Our boat and dock removal handles those, here and next door in Lighthouse Point.

Postwar houses and their add-ons
Cresthaven and the streets around it filled in with small concrete-block ranch houses from the late 1950s on. Add a bedroom or close in a carport and the new roof meets the old one at a joint, which bees often find before the owner does. Thermal imaging picks the right wall to open so the hole stays small; see wall removal and roof and attic removal.
Warehouses, shops and service yards
In the Andrews Industrial District and other commercial pockets, metal-sided buildings bring hollow wall panels, roll-up door housings and roof edges a bee can walk under. A commercial removal here is planned around deliveries and staff. Owners get certificates of insurance up front, and photos with an itemized invoice if an insurance claim follows.

Pompano Beach Bee Removal Questions
Bees are using my condo's hurricane shutter. Do I call you or the association?
Tell the manager, then call us; we will talk with both. Shutters on a condo building may belong to the association or fall under its rules, so the board usually signs off, and our insurance certificate goes over before anyone touches the housing. See our condo and HOA guide.
There are bees on the boat behind my house. Can you remove them without damage?
Usually, yes. A swarm resting on canvas lifts off cleanly. Comb built inside a compartment, console or rolled cover has to be cut out and the space cleaned so the scent does not invite the next swarm. Send us a picture first.
Will bees in my Cresthaven meter box cost as much as bees in a beachfront condo shutter?
No. The ground-level utility boxes in Cresthaven yards are quick to open and shut, so a colony there (or a swarm in a low hedge) usually runs $300 to $400. A shutter housing several floors up or a warehouse wall cavity means more labor plus a repair, and those jobs can climb into the thousands. If it can wait for a weekday, it costs less than an after-hours or weekend trip (how we price).
Why do bees pick the spot where my older house was added onto?
The two sections were often built years apart, so the joint between them rarely stays sealed, and the cavity behind it suits a colony. We pull the comb, scrub the space, and our roofers rebuild that seam so it stays shut.
Is a colony by the beach in Pompano more dangerous than one out in Palm Aire?
Location does not decide it. Africanized genetics turn up in colonies all over South Florida, so a hive in a Palm Aire hedge and one in an A1A shutter box get the same respect once they start chasing people. Puffing lips or tongue, or a long string of stings, calls for 911 straight away; reach us at (954) 429-5133 once the medical side is handled.
