"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.

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

Honey bees are most likely to swarm during spring and early summer, typically from April through June, as colonies expand and prepare for new growth. Swarming occurs when a hive becomes overcrowded, prompting the queen and a group of worker bees to leave in search of a new nesting site. During this time, you may notice a temporary increase in bee activity around your property.

Ensure proper ventilation, address leaks, and conduct regular inspections.

Probably not. Many imitation nests are meant to be hung from trees or other tall places, but not all yellow jackets nest up high—most species, such as the common yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket, build nests in the ground. 

Early spring or late fall removals are ideal when bees are less active, and hive removal is safer.
