Residential and Commercial Pest Control

"Their responsiveness is top-notch. They came the same day I called at least for an inspection. The people are very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. They are a tad expensive but you get what you pay for. One treatment is all it took to rid us of termites and mice and haven't seen any in over a year. Two Paramount folks crawled on my steep roof to block access to our attic by a very pesky and determined squirrel. They're not always on the stated time for treatment appointments but once there did a thorough job. I will use them again as necessary."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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

Any tree that emits a sap or resin can attract yellow jackets. They are particularly attracted to the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), which emits a sweet sap that both yellow jackets and spotted lanternflies love.

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.
