in animal removal business since 1986 ( wildl animals trapping bats, skunks, raccoons ,ground hogs etc. )

"I sent them an email on Angie's List and received a response within the hour. We set up a time that same day where the two guys came to my house, located and caught the squirrel, put it in a trap and took it with them. They were knowledgeable and professional and their fees extremely reasonable. I would definitely recommend them and will definitely use them again."

When pests or termites move in, you want the ultimate weapon to take them out: Terminix, America’s leading provider of termite and pest control.

We can even help you win the fight against the bite with our revolutionary Mosquito Service. Don’t trust your home to just anybody. Go big. Go strong. Go Terminix. Protector of home since 1927.

"I pay $137/mo for quarterly service. The technician used bug spray from an aerosol can to do the walls of the interior basement. He did not do an exterior service. It snowed yesterday and there are no foot tracks in the snow around the house. The prior service, they did not spray outside either. This is ridiculous. Probably why I have really large spiders coming in the house. This branch is a joke and I'm stuck in a contract where I have to pay but they don't have to provide me with the appropriate level of standard service?? I want them to cancel the contract, stop charging me, and never come back."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Probably not. Many imitation nests are meant to be hung from trees or other tall places, but not all yellow jackets nest up high—most species, such as the common yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket, build nests in the ground. 

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.

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. 

Bees usually have thicker, fuzzy bodies, while wasps have slender, smooth bodies. Behavior and nesting also differ.
