Since 1980, we have been protecting homes and investments from unwanted pest problems across Southern California. That means 41 years of experience! We service Orange, San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Believe it or not, being an entrepreneur for Andy started at a very early age. Andy first became an entrepreneur at the tender age of 8 years old when he ran his own egg route in his neighborhood. Interestingly enough, his egg route was so successful that sometimes his mother borrowed money from Andy to pay the rent. During Andy's adolescent years, he met his wife Nancy in the 3rd grade and finally started dating her sophomore year of high school. Andy played football and basketball, while Nancy was head cheerleader. The high school sweethearts stayed together into college as Andy received a football scholarship from Stanford University. After graduation, Andy and Nancy headed back down to beautiful Southern California to start their own pest and termite control company, Bug Squad and POW! Exterminating, Inc. The company was established in 1980 and still going strong just like their marriage. That is what Bug Squad and POW! Exterminating is all about. We are a family operated company and your home is where our heart is.

"We used Best Pest & Wildlife control to stop a bat from hanging on a wall outside our house.They inspected the attic for other bats but did not find any. They did say we have a rodent problem in attic and the attic needs to be cleaned and entry points on roof and other areas need to be closed.I accepted their bid and work commenced the next day. The first they did was to clean attic.It took 1 technician no more 2 hrs and the charge for this was $1700 and a sanitization fee of $216.At this point I thought the charge was outrageous. The technician then continued with the project. I called Kane, the same day , to discuss this on how I felt the charge was inflated. He told me I accepted and signed the contract and he could not adjust. I also got charged $199 for ectoparisite cleaning on area where bat perched.It took the technician a few minutes to spray agent on wall and wipe with a cloth. Again , I thought this charge was inflated. My issue is that the charges are too high. Too steep."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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. 

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

If you seal bees in a wall and don’t leave them any way to escape, they may make one of their own. Otherwise, they’ll die inside the wall, and that creates many additional problems. It takes a long time, and the bees will start rotting, which can make your home smell miserable. All the dead bees and any honeycombs they may have created will also attract a number of bugs or other pests to your home. That’s why we suggest removing the bees entirely, and not trying to seal them away.
