JacopilleBornheimer LLC is a full service company that specializes in total solutions for your property to be vermin free, mold free, and clean. We do the job from start to finish so that you don't need multiple companies to get rid of whatever is hampering a peaceful, quiet, disease free environment for you and your home or business. We do everything from large warehouses to lake cottages.

"The good news is that we paid a boatload of money to Jacopille Bornheimer to install 2 one way bat exits and seal up the house and they completed the job quickly. However, it’s been a year and I can’t get them to return and remove the remaining 1 way exit and seal the hole (the other exit was addressed when I replaced the siding on my chimney). It’s too bad, as I was looking for a vendor to use on an as-needed basis for a couple of additional properties."

Established in 1993. We service residential and commercial accounts in all aspects of pest control. We specialize in K-9 bed bug detection and treatments at a fair and reasonable price. We also service unwanted visitors such as bees, ants, roaches, mice and rats, fleas, and all other insect control. Our price value is true pricing. We have a 98% customer retention rate. That speaks volumes for our quality services, professionalism, and reliability.

"We have been a customer for over ten years. Noticed bees in our home and called to get a date of annual spray, after calling in three times, finally got to speak with someone and was told they were behind 2-3weeks. After the first spray, which was an "emergency appt" they tried to reschedule, still bees in our home, came back and sprayed a second time. We still have very active wasps getting in somewhere and after days of calling, they will not respond to any of the messages we have left."

"Greg communicated clearly and professionally about his services. His pricing was on the high end of the quotes I received and it was worth it. He went above and beyond clearing the woodchuck issue and his service included filling in the holes where the critters took up residence. I had no ones else offer to include the hole repair. I'd highly recommend."

We have been providing the area since 1992 with new underground pet fences, and service for the Invisible Fence brand systems. We offer the best products, with superior training that we back with a money back guarantee. We have more options, smaller collars for the little dogs and cats, and bigger collars for the more stubborn dogs. We do new installations, as well as work on any brand of pet fencing, including the Invisible Fence brand. Many of our products are compatible with the other brands of pet fencing. We do not have pushy salesmen, and can fit almost any budget.

"I contacted this company almost 2 years ago. The “training” they provide is not training. It’s a piece of paper they give you to train your own dog. My dog is medium sized and he became very nervous and didn’t want to go out. I called several times and after they get your money they don’t care. The put the line in right after winter, but the ground was frozen in the back stil so they told me they would come back and dig when the ground was thawed. They never did. I had to call them and they acted like I was bothering. Then after I finally got my dog ok with going on with the collar he got out the yard a couple of times. I checked the collar and it wasn’t working. I reported this to them and they kept telling me make sure it’s charged. I finally recorded that it was fully charged and not working. He came out a week later and tried to tell me it was the collar and I showed him the video and he rocked the box and it was the box. Use another company please!"

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

If you’re dealing with a bee colony on your property, you might wonder if they’ll leave naturally over time. The answer depends on their circumstances. Bees often relocate if the hive becomes overcrowded, food is scarce, or they face a threat. With that said, if a hive’s location is safe, warm, and with plentiful food sources, they are unlikely to relocate on their own, and the hive may persist for many generations.

In certain cases, yes, the bees may go away on their own, but it’s a risk. Some bee types, such as bumblebees, create seasonal nests and then die out as their new queens seek homes elsewhere. But in most cases, you can’t count on the bees leaving naturally. It’s also not a great idea to leave openings in your walls any longer than you have to, which can attract other pests or cause moisture damage.

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.

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

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.
