If bees are located on City property, please call the Public Works Department to investigate the need for a bee keeper and to confirm that the bees are on City property.  If there is a serious problem after normal business hours, please call the Torrance Police Department at 1-310-328-3456.  Please be aware that bees frequently swarm through an area and are gone quickly.  Please call only if the bees seem to be nesting or building a hive.

If bees are located on private property, the property owner is responsible for the cost of bee removal.  Below is a list of bee keepers.  Residents may also look in the yellow pages under bee keepers or pest control. 

Residents who call bee keepers or pest control will be responsible for any incurred expenses. 

 

County Vector Control:  Phone 1-310-915-7370.  L.A. Vector Control will come to private property if bees are not inside a structure.  If bees are within a structure, the resident will have to hire a private exterminator.
