"I contacted Pest Chase first thing in the morning about a very large wasp nest that had been built in a tree in my front yard. Sundar came out within a few hours to evaluate the nest and provide a quote. He returned that afternoon and removed the nest. After a few days, we noticed a few wasps were still hanging around the area and he came back to spray again just to make sure they were gone. Sundar was extremely professional, helpful, and prompt, and I would certainly hire Pest Chase again."

Make a chimney evaluation your top priority! Chesapeake Chimney & Co. can help you get your chimney in top shape. We take pride in being Calvert County's only certified chimney sweep. Get your chimney checked NOW to avoid a headache next winter. It's easy to forget about your chimney when it's warm outside. You've stopped using the fireplace and you rarely fire up the furnace. But don't put your chimney out of mind just yet. Almost all home heating systems - including furnaces, boilers and wood stoves - rely on chimneys to safely vent the exhaust they produce to the outside of your home. In fact, both the National Fire Protection Association and the Chimney Safety Institute of America recommend annual inspections for all chimneys-no matter how you heat your home. An annual chimney inspection can help eliminate fire and carbon monoxide hazards and protect your home from property loss due to deterioration or water damage

"Hired Chesapeake Chimney to clean my pellet stove and chimney. I went to use my pellet stove a few days later when it got cold enough to turn it on and it was inoperable and had not been reassembled correctly. Took over an hour to discover a disconnected wire and to put the panels back on properly. There was still dust and pellets throughout the stove and the glass wasn't even cleaned. I sent an email to the company and filled out a contact form through their website and they never acknowledged me. Won't be using this company again."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.

Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.

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.

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away.
