"The salesman recommended two exterior treatments to get rid of the hornets/wasps. The main nest was on top of the garage, two stories up, and we could hear them in the wall between two of our bedrooms. They scheduled us very quickly and we haven't seen any hornets/wasps inside since the first treatment about 10 days ago. The first treatment took about 30 minutes and the second, 6 days later, took about 10 minutes. The two reasons for the B rating, not A, are that the salesperson said they would warrant the work for a year, meaning until Dec 31 of the current calendar year (I asked for clarification), but the contract e-mailed to us specified 30 days. In addition, the person doing the second treatment didn't have a ladder, and was using some spray thing to shoot liquid up. It seems unlikely that the main nest actually got hit a second time, since it was on top of a two-story roof. We were also hoping they could either block the hole that was allowing insects into the house or at least tell us what work might need to be done so we could hire someone else to do that, but since the 2nd person didn't have a ladder, that didn't happen either. Also the 2nd person said he couldn't understand the notes the first one left, which seemed odd. Overall, the immediate issue was satisfactorily resolved, however."

Family owned and operated company with over 15 years in the trade. I was personally trained year-round in South Carolina by a master chimney sweep that had over twenty eight years of experience in the business. Don't get burned by your chimney!!! Trust a TRAINED professional, not some fly by night that claims to be a chimney sweep. Did you know that a chimney without a flue cap gets the same amount of rain inside the smoke chamber and smoke shelf area during a rain storm as a five gallon bucket would placed outside without a lid on it? This results in deteroated mortor joints, rusted out dampers, algerins, birds, and odors from mold & mildew. Adam J. Hanlon

"Everything went great. Adam was a great guy and worked around my schedule (weekends). He stopped by for an inspection and cleared me to burn wood the winter, no cleaning was needed. He penciled me in for the spring/summer and recommended an upgraded damper to cut down on drafts when not in use. He even looked at the rest of my venting for hot water heater and gas fireplace in the basement. Will use him again for sure."

We take pride in resolving a variety of wildlife nuisance you may encounter, whether it is removing bats in your attic or raccoons in your garbage can. As certified and college educated technicians, we not only guarantee to solve your problems, but also help you to understand the biology behind the issue.

"If you have wildlife moving in on you, Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions is definitely the one to call. They are knowledgeable, capable, courteous, and reliable. When a mother raccoon moved into our attic crawl space with her new pups, I was ridden with anxiety. The first company we called said they could do the job, but when they finally arrived they had no good strategies. Fortunately, we next called Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions. From the moment he arrived, Neil assured us he could resolve the problem, and he did. He also installed extra strong raccoon proof screening over our attic vents and chimney flues, which was part of the initial estimate. Neil arrived every day according to schedule, and was always friendly, courteous, and reassuring. I recommend Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions without reservation. You will get everything you are paying for, which is compassionate professional service."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
