"Michael Lyday was the technician and was very professional and courteous. He set a trap and returned the next morning to find a female raccoon. He also found she’d been nursing and captured two kits in the crawl space. He told me to tell him if I heard anymore sounds which I did when he returned the following day. He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up. I was completely satisfied with his humane methods of removing the animals from my property."

"As the director of a non-profit organization in a small town, I know how unusual it is to find such a capable, knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt technician to come and help with unwelcome “visitors” to your property. We could not have asked for a better experience in dealing with an ant invasion, along with skunks and racoons burrowing under our buildings. Gerrod was always pleasant to deal with and diligent to explain the procedures and costs involved. He responded quickly and took care of our problems in a most timely manner. His wealth of knowledge and professionalism set him apart from others I have dealt with. I highly recommend When Nature Calls Pest Control and will not hesitate to contact Gerrod again if needed."

"I have been unimpressed and highly disappointed in the services, professionalism, and ethics of your company from the start. Since I have started paying your company all I have received are excuses for why I haven't seen any improvement in the reduction of the bugs and mice. Some of your techs are the laziest I've ever seen. Even your other techs have told me that the traps were not set up right, that what was done was just lazy and that certain techs are just known for doing the bare minimum. I have complained over and over. Only time I receive any sort of service for the inside of my house or my garage is when I complain since I don’t get anything close to a heads up notice of a service date. Then I have to take off work every single time for the subpar service I then receive for the inside which costs me money. All I have received from your company are continued excuses for why my bug and mouse problem has not gotten any better but you sure are quick to charge me. The last service I was charged for was this month which I absolutely will not pay for and if you charged me I expect a refund. This BILLED service was again only done outside because of the lack of notice and the mouse trap box that is in the front of the house is wide open and empty. Haven’t seen any other boxes outside. I wouldn’t exactly call that service! When the mouse trap boxes were originally set up only in my basement the two boxes were put right next to each other on the one side of the basement. None anywhere else in the house. Absolutely ridiculous. Then after continued complaining I received 1 more box in my closet then was handed a stack of sticky traps to put where I want them. Also complained that you were only using poison boxes which take a week to kill a mouse. I can’t believe your company feels a customer is okay with the mice hanging around and damaging walls, wires, etc and spreading germs and feces inside of the house while I wait for it to hopefully die in a week. I also have small children and animals and your company thought poison was just fine! When I had to complain about ants, your tech was so lazy that he only sprayed under one of my sliding glass doors. No where else in the entire house. I had to call back the next week and take yet another day off of work because of the unethical and lazy service I receive from your company because I now had ants in every single room in my house. I don’t know how you keep any customers at all when this is how you treat them and the lack of pride your employees take in their jobs. By the way I still have mice. Now have 4 holes in my walls because of them chewing through. I should send you a bill this time. Also still have earwigs, ants, spiders, and some sort of beetle. Only thing I don’t currently have in my house that I did when I first moved in are the grasshoppers. Your company has been consistently charging me for a fake service as it has provided none of the expected outcomes. Highly unethical and horrible service."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

No, ground bees are not detrimental to the health of your lawn. In fact, the small holes created by ground bees can actually offer beneficial aeration which moisturizes and nourishes the ground. Additionally, ground bees are highly regarded as vital pollinators, meaning they help plants to reproduce. Unless you’re battling a severe infestation, leaving ground bees undisturbed can boost the health of your yard and the environment.

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.

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.

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.

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.
