The service we'd want in your shoes. ℠ We're a new company founded by a seasoned pest control professional with years of experience. Before starting Pasadena Pest Control, I studied under three seasoned pros and satisfied hundreds of customers. During my several years as a technician, I've noticed a pattern to customer complaints about a spectrum of companies in this industry. I decided to build this company upon pillars opposite these qualities. We are: * Reachable. Beyond the point of sale. We don't outsource customer service. We have no automated lines. You will be speaking to a representative who is a local, human person who works for us, not on our behalf. * Punctual. We provide an hour window for showtime, and we always try to be as close to its beginning as we can if not right at the start. If on the rare occasion that we're going to be unavoidably arriving outside the window, we'll let you know barring rare reception issues. * Thorough. We'll take our time. We won't rush. We won't cram the schedule and your appointment won't shrink. We'll take our time, efficiently and effectively. * Honest. We'll keep our promises by not making any we can't keep. We won't gouge you. We won't try to upsell you something you don't need or couldn't benefit from. If we don't know the answer, we'll say so and find out. * Informative. We'll keep you informed so you can make educated decisions, We'll set your expectations appropriately, letting you know how you can prepare for treatment, avoid conducive conditions and mitigate issues going forward. * Convenient.

I own a small animal and rodent trapping and removal business. Most of the larger companies cost more because they have to pay for all their employees. I bring the same knowledge and experience , but at a lower cost.

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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

Whereas a honeybee can only sting you once, a yellow jacket can sting you multiple times because they don’t leave stingers in the skin. In the unfortunate case that you get stung by a yellow jacket, it’s important to react calmly and quickly. Immediately ice the affected area until the swelling subsides. You may also take an antihistamine if necessary. If you experience an allergic reaction to a yellow jacket sting or have been stung several times, seek medical care right 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.

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. 

To choose a reliable and reputable bee removal specialist, you could start by searching Angi’s database of bee removal specialists. Also, look into local organizations and beekeepers associations.
