August 29, 2025

Ever thought about bees making a home in your AC? It actually happens and can damage your system. Discover how vermin treatment and preventative maintenance from DEEPCHILL, your trusted air conditioning service Gold Coast can help remove bees in AC.

Bees in AC? Here’s what you should do

If you found bees inside your AC, stop using it right away and take steps to keep the bees out of the house. 

Immediate actions

  • Turn off the AC unit immediately and tape over the controls so no one accidentally turns it on while bees are inside.
  • Cover vents with paper or cardboard to keep bees from flying into rooms.
  • Do not use insecticides near the AC or its vents, as chemical fumes can circulate inside and harm people.

Seek for professional help 

  • Call a local beekeeper or pest control expert for safe removal. Trained professionals will handle the bees carefully and make sure all are removed.
  • If bees have built a hive inside, you may need an air conditioning technician to check and clean the unit after removal

Simple prevention tips

  • Seal gaps around the AC with caulk or foam so insects can’t get in.
  • Put mesh screens over vents to stop bees and wasps while still letting air flow.
  • Clear away food and smells like fruit, garbage or anything sweet near the AC that could attract bees.
  • Cover the unit with a weatherproof tarp when not in use to prevent nesting.

How DEEPCHILL’s vermin treatment can remove bees in AC? 

Why is professional help needed? 

Bee stings can cause serious allergic reactions or injuries. Trying to remove bees alone may cause them to become aggressive and other bees may return even if some are cleared. Therefore, professional removal will prevent damage to both the bees and the air conditioner.
