"I live in Moreno Apartment homes in Scottsdale and have had an insect problem mostly nats for over 6 weeks they're everywhere in the house even the refrigerator we had over 40 nats in with our food, disgusting. Burns has come out 3 times now and spent a total of 5 minutes each time total from walking in the door to leaving, yeah real thorough Arizona needs to google what bedside manners are or even how to communicate without having the very first thing from drs, pest control people tell you we can't do that, I can,t help you. I travel the world for my job and if I didn't have to come to Barrows for a major spinal cord neck and disc surgery I'd never come to Arizona again.

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Bees usually have thicker, fuzzy bodies, while wasps have slender, smooth bodies. Behavior and nesting also differ.

Professional removal preserves bee populations and ensures safe, effective hive relocation, protecting you from stings.

No, ground bees are not detrimental to the health of your lawn. In fact, the small holes created by ground bees can actually offer beneficial aeration which moisturizes and nourishes the ground. Additionally, ground bees are highly regarded as vital pollinators, meaning they help plants to reproduce. Unless you’re battling a severe infestation, leaving ground bees undisturbed can boost the health of your yard and the environment.

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

In many places, killing bees or destroying a hive is discouraged or regulated due to their crucial role as pollinators. Specific laws vary by region, and certain bee species are protected due to declining populations. Some states require permits or restrict who can remove or exterminate bee colonies. Always check local laws before attempting to manage or remove a beehive.
