"Original call went well. The gentleman was professional and nice - it was easy to schedule the original appt which was for a 2 hr window. A guy came out and he was fine. You don’t really know for awhile if an exterminator is effective. Two weeks after the original treatment, we started seeing ants in our master bathroom, which is BIZARRE as we’ve never seen an ant upstairs in six years at this house. In six years with a different exterminator, we had issues with ants once and it was quickly dealt with - and they were in the dining room. We found the appearance of ants (a lot of them) two weeks after our first treatment from rose and in our upstairs bathroom to be really strange. Whatever - not a big deal if they take care of the problem relatively quickly. Called to get a guy out and they gave me a specific time (9am) - it struck me as strange because I had been given a window of time the last time, and I probably should’ve confirmed whether it was a specific time or a window of time but I didn’t. When nobody showed up by 9:20, I had somewhere to be so I left - when I called rose to inquire, I was told that I had been given a window. Nope - wrong. Not a huge deal but just own it! The guy for whatever reason didn’t specify 9-11 - not a huge deal! I should’ve double checked on that too! But here I have a woman on the phone telling me that I’m wrong about what I was told on the phone just three days before. Totally unsympathetic to the issue (both the scheduling issue and the fact that ants miraculously appeared for the first time EVER upstairs at our house two weeks after we switched to her company. ZERO understanding. A simple “wow, that’s strange, we’ll have to get this taken care of - probably a coincidence but let’s work together to get a guy out as quickly as possible to get rid of the ANT INFESTATION in the place where you bathe and brush your teeth each day. Whatever. One of the more obnoxious phone calls I’ve ever experienced. Now nobody can come out for five more days - in the end, if they come out in the assigned window and get the job done and I have no more ants, I guess it’s fine. Can’t expect a pest control company to have master communicators on the other end of the phone. Stay tuned for an update on whether or not they take care of the ant problem that never existed until I switched to them."

"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."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

In many places, killing bees or destroying a hive is discouraged or regulated due to their crucial role as pollinators. Specific laws vary by region, and certain bee species are protected due to declining populations. Some states require permits or restrict who can remove or exterminate bee colonies. Always check local laws before attempting to manage or remove a beehive.

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.

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.

DIY removal risks harming bees and you. Professionals offer safe and effective solutions protecting both parties.

Bees are relocated to safe habitats, ensuring their continued role in pollination without risk to your home.
