Family owned pest control company. Rodent proofing homes,businesses and buildings (residential and commercial).

"Excellent. Very professional, clean, thorough. Left a few traps in the crawl space and was confident nothing else was under there but came back to check since there was no longer a way for any animal to get out since they did such a fantastic job rodent proofing every opening of the house."

Our products are 100% LOCAL, PURE, RAW and UNFILTERED. - History - Established in 2013 Attending Cal Poly State University located in San Luis Obispo, California I enrolled in a beekeeping class due to its relativity to my major, Agricultural Environmental Plant Sciences with a concentration in Greenhouse Nursery Plant Production. During this introduction to the world of beekeeping I became fascinated in every aspect of the life of bees and the people who tend to them called apiarist. With support from my teacher, Scott Jeffery's and many other friends and family I decided beekeeping is what made me passionate, loving the unknown of what was behind a buzzing wall in someones home as I began a hive removal, reaching into beach ball sized swarms of bees coxing them into their new home or educating children at schools why bees are an essential part of our ecosystem. Bee Friendly Honey has now served hundreds of customers since March of 2013. In the future I hope Bee Friendly Honey can help you in your time of need, just remember, Be Happy, Be Healthy, Bee Friendly Honey - Meet the Business Owner: Steven H. - Ever since I was a young boy I can remember lifting up stones, wood logs, bricks, pavers, anything that might conceal some type of bug or animal. As I grew older my room became filled with terrariums and aquariums that brought the natural world I so craved to be in right inside my home. The glass enclosures teaming with sound and life, sharing secrets that only the most observant entomologist could decipher. I grew up, wondering if there was ever going to be a way for me to keep learning from the most wonderful teacher I'd ever had, nature herself. During this exposure to nature I also developed a green thumb nursing plants back to life and growing new and exotic ones from seeds and cuttings. This is when I decided to attend Cal Poly State University, studying plants and flowers that grew with the vigor of my imagination. Then one day working in the flowers i saw a honey bee, my eyes lit up as I realized I had finally found a way to follow my heart, and be one with the bees..

Customers say: Quality work
23 years of experience

I was taught this business at an early age by my stepfather and after working in and out of the industry for many years decided to start a business. I first started with a partner in Sacramento (where I lived for a short while, home town is Santa Cruz), we founded Blizzard Pest Management, Inc. Then 4 years ago I moved back to Santa Cruz and established Haderle Pest Control because I knew there was a great need for real solutions to the many recurrent raccoon, skunk, and rat problems here. Birds, bats, and ants are an occasional invader but it seems those former three pose a challenging problem to many pest control companies not experienced with them.

"I called Haderle because I thought we had a dead mouse stuck in the wall of our shop - a very bad thing since we pride ourselves on having a high quality, great smelling shop and anything that compromises that like a bad odor (that could be a dead animal) is a crucial issue and cannot wait. I left a message thinking I would not hear back soon (as usually the case with phone messages) and yet Jon called me shortly thereafter - pleasant surprise #1. We discussed the situation at length. Jon asked me several specific questions, covering important details for me to consider and look at (e.g. holes in the wall, type of smell etc) in order to save me money. He really knew what it might or might not be and the approach we might have to take. He said then he could come out and assess the situation and figure out what the next steps might be which could include opening a small hole in the wall to retrieve the body, etc. He was clear & patient on the phone. We agreed to start with the sniff test and go from there. He came that very day, a few hours later and ...sniffed carefully around the exact area I had been smelling this awful odor in for the last 5 days. He was thorough and started on hands and knees, along the wall , in the corner, looked at the holes in the closet, smelled higher up and repeated ... he discovered the problem odor source almost immediately. It was these pretty little flowers I had picked a week prior and put in a lovely hand blown Japanese vase on display. Yes, those lovely flowers I had picked from a GARLIC CHIVE plant I tended just outside our shop. And the smell from those pretty pink flowers, as they dried, was the most stinky, garlicky, sulfer smell which permeated my store. It was so darn funny when he figured it out - and he did it so quickly too. I had cleaned EVERYTHING in the last few days - I mean everything. Took apart the 6' tall floor fountain, changed the water (which smelled fine so we knew it wasn't it), swept, vacuumed, used vinegar and was so positive it had to be a dead mouse that went through a hole in our storage closet that shared the same wall as our shop. When Jon said it was the flowers - and held them for me to smell - I could not stop laughing. I was so relieved. I found John to be responsive, personable, with great attention to detail and I would most definitely call him again for any issue concerning pest control."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Bees are relocated to safe habitats, ensuring their continued role in pollination without risk to your home.

You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous. The amount of bees that can live in a hive depends on the type of bee, but honey bees can have up to 80,000 bees living in a hive. People who are allergic to bees can have life-threatening reactions from a single sting. So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.

In certain cases, yes, the bees may go away on their own, but it’s a risk. Some bee types, such as bumblebees, create seasonal nests and then die out as their new queens seek homes elsewhere. But in most cases, you can’t count on the bees leaving naturally. It’s also not a great idea to leave openings in your walls any longer than you have to, which can attract other pests or cause moisture damage.

Removal typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour per item, depending on accessibility and size.

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