"This was such an unfortunate experience. I had a raccoon living in my chimney, and all I needed was for them to come put a one-way door on the top so it could get out but not get back in. It seemed like a simple enough task, but the guy who came out was very open about being unsure of what to do. He ended up taking out the fireplace insert in my basement, looking in there, and confirming that there was a raccoon. After he confirmed it was in there, he for some reason decided to walk away and work on the roof with both the fireplace on my first floor and in my basement wide open. Assuming that he was a professional and knew what he was doing, I didn’t question him (I thought he probably plugged it higher up). Of course, this meant that the raccoon just came into the house. I was sitting at my dining room table when I heard tip-tap sounds on the kitchen floor. When I turned around, I saw the raccoon two feet behind me. I ran out the front door and got the guy. When the guy came in, he said he couldn’t find the raccoon and that it “probably” went back up the chimney. At this point, my kitchen was a huge mess; the raccoon had stepped in its poop and left black poop footprints all over the kitchen and counters. It even urinated in my cookie tray on my stove top. It took hours to clean and disinfect the kitchen, and I had to throw away my dinner, which I was marinating on the counter. The raccoon also walked across brand new carpeting that I had just gotten installed in my basement; the whole purpose of getting new carpeting was to have a safe/clean place for my baby to crawl, and now I have to worry about contamination from roundworm. Anyway, this story gets crazier and crazier, and I’ll spare you all the details, but the shorter version is that we discovered in the middle of the night when it sounded like someone was breaking in that the raccoon was still loose in our house. I called the guy back out, and still he “couldn’t find it” and insisted that “if” it was in the house, that there would be more of a mess (more than just the raccoon poop that mysteriously ended up on our floor). Eventually, after several returns to my house, they were able to find the raccoon hiding in the rafters in a room I used as a gym in my basement (which I now can’t use as a gym because I worry about aerosolized roundworm from poop in the rafters far enough back that we can’t clean it out). After *48* full hours of the raccoon being loose in my house, endangering the life of my small dog and 7-month-old baby, it was finally removed. All they had to say about it was that “sometimes things go south,” which is remarkable given that they literally opened the door to let the raccoon in and then left the fireplace door unattended while it was open for over an hour. It was an extremely dangerous and awful experience due entirely to their negligence. And charging $700 after all that seems simply absurd given that they endangered my family, ruined my new carpeting, and rendered my gym unusable for the foreseeable future."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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

If you seal bees in a wall and don’t leave them any way to escape, they may make one of their own. Otherwise, they’ll die inside the wall, and that creates many additional problems. It takes a long time, and the bees will start rotting, which can make your home smell miserable. All the dead bees and any honeycombs they may have created will also attract a number of bugs or other pests to your home. That’s why we suggest removing the bees entirely, and not trying to seal them away.

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

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.

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.
