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."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

If you’re dealing with a bee colony on your property, you might wonder if they’ll leave naturally over time. The answer depends on their circumstances. Bees often relocate if the hive becomes overcrowded, food is scarce, or they face a threat. With that said, if a hive’s location is safe, warm, and with plentiful food sources, they are unlikely to relocate on their own, and the hive may persist for many generations.

Yes, they apply humane techniques, prioritizing environmental balance while addressing bee concerns.

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.

Some species of bees (not to mention hornets) are aggressive and dangerous to have in your walls. If they swarm in anger or defense, they could badly hurt people in your home. Other species of bees are largely harmless and many people live in close proximity to them.

Either way, bees making hives in your walls usually causes damage. It can contribute to moisture problems, and attract other pests. Those problems get even worse if honeycombs build up. So we strongly suggest you find a way to keep bees from taking up permanent residence.

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