From the business Specialties LIVE Bee Removal 24/7 Warrantied Licensed Bee Removal. " We Do It Right The First Time!" LIC# B0105510 History Established in 2012. We've been removing bees for over 9 years. In that time our business became a passion and not an industry. We believe every customer is a priority and unique, just as every bee situation is unique. We remove Bees of all types, Business and Residential, LIVE and use NO poisons or pesticides, removal is warrantied and safe for your family. Bees play an important role of pollinating our foods and are critical to the environment, poisoning bees won't remove a hive from your structure. When the poison wears off new bees will be attracted to the old nest (and rodents) and re-infestation will happen again. Exterminators are NOT the answer.

"Terminix is beyond unprofessional and does not care about customer satisfaction. I have had a flea issue in my yard for weeks and it continues to get worse every time they come back. I’ve asked to speak to a branch manager 3 times over the last two weeks and no one has ever reached out. Merced branch is a joke. The technician shows up for 15 minutes to treat almost an entire acre of property?? How is that completed in just 15 minutes. Will never go to Terminix again I recommend you find someone else."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

Some bees may return after the nest is removed. These are called "straggler" bees, and it may take them a couple of weeks before they leave. The reason is the nest may have been removed while the bees were away. These bees don't typically survive long once the nest is gone, so you may want to contact a beekeeper to help relocate them elsewhere.

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.

Yes, honey bees can sting, but they typically only do it when they feel their hive is threatened. When honey bees are away from their hive, they’re focused on foraging for pollen and nectar, making them unlikely to sting. Only female honey bees, called workers, have stingers, and they will die if they need to use them. Generally, if left undisturbed, honey bees will leave you alone.

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.
