Dan The Bee Man

Amazing to watch "Dan" in action. Safe. Humane. And most of all 100% effective!

I noticed that there was a lot of Yellow Jacket activity at our roof line - and wanted a professional to come out right away. My husband had just had surgery and was unable to go up and check it out.I called Dan - explained the situation- and he came out that evening to check out the situation. He assessed it - explained our options in detail - as well as his methods, recommendations and prices. He fit us in right away - and returned to extract the whole nest and it's inhabitants. He vacuumed out the entire area carefully -- made triple sure everything was gone - and then cleaned up the area he was working in nicely. He was fabulous! Courteous, professional and GREAT his job! Also - It turned out to be a HUGE nest that would have caused much grief and expense - if he had not removed the whole nest and it's inhabitants- and we would have never known in time - unless Dan had looked (with his protective gear) back far into the roof to see what was happening. I would use Dan again for sure!!

The association at our condo had a wasp problem, and the board wanted to avoid using pesticides given the proposed methods of getting rid of the wasps did not sit well with various homeowners. I scheduled an appointment to have Dan come out and have a look; he arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule, which was nice. He poked around and was able to provide me with his preliminary assessment of the situation. We agreed to move ahead with some more and quot;invasiveand quot; options, which at that point consisted of removing some siding planks for the building so he could access the nest. We scheduled an appointment for later during the week, and Dan returned again, on time. He removed a few panels of siding, and left them all in tact. He vacuumed out about 500 or so wasps from the wall cavity, and then sealed everything back up. There was one piece of siding which was cracked, and that later had to be repaired by a separate contractor.

The following day, the wasps had managed to find their way into one of the bedrooms in an adjacent unit. Dan had called to follow up, and I notified him of this issue. He agreed to come out and have a look. He removed some baseboard trim and sealed up the entrance the wasps were using. He put the baseboard trim back on and that problem was solved.

Unfortunately, there was a larger wasp problem than anyone had been able to predict, as we later discovered that there was another nest located in a roof. Dan offered a number of alternative approaches, and was very upfront with us about the potential costs associated with ripping into the roof. Again, not wanting to use pesticide, the association agreed to have Dan cut into the roof (under the supervision of a roofing contractor). Dan found two more wasp nests and sucked them out. While he was removing those two nests, he estimated that there was a third nest in the roof, but in a location that would be very expensive to access. The association finally determined that it would have to resort to more conventional means, i.e. pesticide, to finally get rid of the wasps.

I found Dan through another review website, which had more favorable reviews. It was not until after he had already been working with us that I found his other review on Angie's List. I recognize the work completed was done a while ago, but I wanted Dan to have a positive review on here since everyone was very impressed with Dan's professionalism, promptness and knowledge of bees and wasps.
