"Wildlife Task force / Robert - Wonderful! I called about 5 a.m. in the morning, desperate because I live in a townhouse community and I thought maybe they might be able to assist, but they only handle bugs, not snakes! I have 2 sweet guinea pigs, so I was very concerned for them. Between 2 and 3 a.m. on 3/1, I discovered a Black Racer behind my dresser. close to 4 feet long - I have never had a snake in my house! I was not able to find anyone that was legit open 24/7 emergency. I didn't know to look up his company, because I have never had this issue, not that I want the issue again, no offense. But he picked up, and I'm so grateful! He was able to get here about 7 a.m., because was very heavy. But he was able to get the snake and I tried to basically barricade him in my bedroom as best I could. He had not been in my house long, was Robert's thought. Nor did the Black Racer seem aware of the girls downstairs and vice versa, thankfully. I have a suspicion though of how he got in, per Robert's theory, and I'm not taking any chances. My HOA company will be hearing from me to put a cover on the roof vents. My intention is to suggest Robert/Wildlife Task Force to do it. :)"

"Due to the Coronavirus Outbreak, and the fact that I am an extremely high risk person, I have been trying to cancel my service for two weeks, and am trying to find out where to send my Early Termination Fee. I have contacted them several times last week and this week, and although they answer, they keep saying I have to talk to someone else who has yet to return my call on my cell phone, which would show any missed calls if they would actually try to reach me. No service!! Nobody wants to talk to me, and now they are causing financial difficulty."

"A raccoon intruded in the attic of a house and Trapper John was contacted for emergency service as a family was living in the home. Although the issue was eventually resolved I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND due to my experience with the team from contact to the technicians. What went wrong: 1. Not sure if he still works there, but, my primary phone contact was Scott. He was rude a few times throughout the days it took to resolve this issue. 2. I believe due to the nature of their work commonly being emergency services they are able to overcharge especially by offering a price on the spot during the consultation. 3. Technician and phone contact assured me the issue would be resolved within 24 hours and the issue persisted for over 72 hours with me having to continually follow up for updates on their plan to resolve this issue. 4. The technician did not properly secure a hole he had to open in the ceiling of the house to remove baby raccoons and endangered a family living there when one fell through into the living room. 5. Terrible recommendations knowing a family was living in the home: After having difficulties capturing them, a suggestion was made to "leave baby raccoons in the attic to die and let the house air out", a suggestion was made to cut a hole in the roof at 8:30pm on a Sunday with no plan/ability repair it immediately. 6. Part of the service was replacing soffit vents for prevention and when I stopped by the house after service was complete several vents around the house had not been replaced and I had to contact Trapper John to have the technician return and replace those. Overall the job was done and I was given a year long warranty on the raccoon removal and soffit vent replacement. Fortunately, the issue did not reoccur however I would not recommend this company if you find yourself in a similar situation. FYI: A day after posting my review on another platform, I was contacted by a woman at Trapper John and offered a partial refund only if I agreed to remove my review. I refused as I believe it's UNETHICAL and potential customers deserve honest and authentic reviews for the services they pay for. So I will post my honest experience on all platforms I am able."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Any tree that emits a sap or resin can attract yellow jackets. They are particularly attracted to the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), which emits a sweet sap that both yellow jackets and spotted lanternflies love.

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, 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.

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.
