Birch Hill Critter Solutions, has been doing business since 2003. We specialize in removing unwanted critters from your property. We are licensed and insured in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. We look forward to working with you! ***We do not service for bees, insects and woodpeckers***

"I discovered a bat flying around in the attic on a Saturday afternoon. I reached out to Birch Hill and they responded immediately by text and email. As it wasn't an emergency, we scheduled a visit that Monday afternoon for Birch Hill to assess the situation. Birch Hill confirmed the bats and determined that they were probably getting in via a gap in the top of the roof. Birch Hill returned the next day and installed a Roof Guard product along the roof line to prevent access to the attic. They also installed a bat extraction tube for the bats to find their way out. They also recommended chimney caps on the top of our fireplace to prevent potential wildlife access. Additionally, they sealed various holes at the base of the siding of the house. Two weeks later, Birch Hill returned, checked out the attic, and removed the bat extraction tube on the roof, and put the finishing touches on sealing up the exit hole. SUCCESS. These guys are Pros and a pleasure to work with. "

"Patrick was amazing. He was on time and very friendly and professional. We had a large hornet's nest high up in a tree that was pretty daunting to reach given it's height and the fact that it was dangling over our neighbor's yard. Despite the challenge, he gamely climbed our neighbor's garage roof and used an extension pole to take care of the nest. He was very careful to knock it into our yard and he picked up the nest and even climbed the ladder one more time to spray the remains of the nest so the hornets wouldn't come back. What really impressed me was his attitude when faced with what I thought was a pretty tough task and his rapport with both me and my neighbors who were watching with interest! Also he knows A LOT about hornets. It was really interesting. He's a gem, I'd sure have him back for future work. Thank you!"

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Early spring or late fall removals are ideal when bees are less active, and hive removal is safer.

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. 

Look for consistent buzzing sounds, visible hives, or increased bee activity around your property.
