Perfectly. Marvin removed the nest swiftly without any spraying, and the wasps have not come back. He was also friendly!

Marvin removed a large bald-faced hornet nest from our backyard, using no pesticides, no chemicals, etc. He as amazing! Our kids and all the neighbor kids were in awe! Will definitely hire him again if we need him.

Marvin did a fantastic job with our bumblebees. We had a hive in our pampas grass near the house. He was quick to respond when we sent an email late in the day, and the next morning, he was out at the house helping out. Marvin took care of clearing out the hive, vacuuming all the bees into a safe container for transportation. He went the extra mile to help make sure that everything was taken care off. In addition, he also provided great insights about working with the bees in the future. The costs were exactly what you see on the website. Thanks for all the great work! We'll be sure to reach out to Marvin again if we need help in the future!

Marvin from Jerry the Bee Guy used infrared equipment to locate the hive inside the wall cavity. He then cordoned off the area with plastic sheeting, cut open the wall, and removed the hive and all bees there at the time. In addition, he identified the exterior access points, plugged them, and screened off the opening he created in the wall. A few stragglers lived on for a few weeks, but as Marvin anticipated, they died off. I was a little skeptical of that, but he was willing to return to honor the work if the problem had persisted. Like his quarry, Marvin is very busy, but persist and you'll be very satisfied with his work. You'll also learn a lot about bees.

We discovered a wasp nest about the size of a cantaloupe hanging from a chest-height branch in the rear of our back yard. We looked for the lowest price and had the pleasant surprise of working with someone very personable, professional, and thorough. Jerry happened to be close by and available, and he showed up within an hour or two of calling him.
He got to work within a few minutes. While in a protective suit, he bagged the nest, ripped it off the branch, and dunked it into a bucket full of liquid?I'm assuming water or something non-toxic because Jerry's services specifically say he doesn't use poison. He then spent a good ten or fifteen minutes swiping up the airborne wasps with a net and offing them, too.
I didn't know much about the life cycle of a wasp queen or how long to avoid the area where the nest had been until all of the drones that had been gone at the time of removal had died off, and Jerry happily answered those questions. He even showed me a wasp nest about the size of a golf ball to demonstrate what I might look for in the future if wasps ever migrated to my area again.
A+! I would definitely contact Jerry the Bee Guy again for any future stinging pest problems.

Marvin ("Jerry the Bee Guy") is a super nice guy, very knowledgeable about the little creatures he removes, and very careful to try to get them all so as not leave any 'orphans'.  He explained what he was doing and cheerfully answered all my questions.  It was interesting to watch the removal process.  He first bagged the birdhouse with a fabric bag to keep the bumblebees from escaping and then unscrewed the house from the pole so he could take the nest that was inside the house.  (It was an old house and had attracted wasps in the past so we were fine with him just taking the whole house.)  After he put the house/nest in his vehicle, he came back with a net so he could catch any of the bumblebees that returned to the pole looking for their home.  He explained that these were the workers who had been out foraging.  If he didn't catch them and relocate them with the rest of the colony, they would die.  Marvin didn't want to leave any of them behind and even though it was a hot day, he waited in the sun for over a half an hour in full bee gear to give as many bumblebees as possible time to return.  He did a great job at a reasonable price (flat rate for removal plus per-mile travel cost).  If I ever have any bee problems in the future, I will call Marvin!

Marvin was punctual (even a bit early), efficient, and explained the process. He made a suggestion that yard work be postponed in the nest area a few days for safety assurance.

Marvin (Jerry the Bee Guy) did a top notch job. He arrived on time, was friendly, knowledgeable and very skilled at his work. He explained the situation and options at each step of the removal process. He was thoughtful and skillful in opening up the exterior portion of the house to gain access to the hive. He was patient ensuring that all the bees, honeycomb and other related materials were removed and that the house frame was well sealed to avoid similar future occupation. He offered advice to minimize any potential reoccurrence. When he was done the fact that he had removed and replaced soffits, shingles and framing was hardly noticeable and didn't even require any touch-up painting. The cost of service, given the time and effort involved, was quite reasonable. We certainly would use his services  again if needed, and recommend him highly.

He was great. He was really knowledgeable about bees.  He was intent to get them all, and in an  effective manner. He was fantastic, and we have recommended him to other people. He was very helpful, and we don't have any more bees.

Marvin was great. I called and he came out the very next day and got rid of the nests when our contracted service couldn't. Now, I can get our air conditioning fixed (it was 98 degrees yesterday) because the yellow jackets are gone.

I think we'll cancel with our other service and call Marvin from Jerry the Bee Guy when we need him. I'm going to recommend him to all our friends.
