Honeybees is my business... I can also do bumblebee removals. (Some people have wanted to relocate them-with a house-at a charge...). Since I have the equipment, I can also help alleviate issues with wasps, yellowjackets, etc. Some jobs are too big for my reach at the moment, but depending on your needs.. perhaps I can help. So far I've done swarm catches, honeybee cutouts, bumblebee removals/relocations, and swarm box catching. I'm also familiar with trap-outs and other methods with practice. Thank you.

"The sales man was very good, he has a very well rehearsed speech and I essentially signed up for a year of pest control. Someone was supposed to show up Friday afternoon to come and take a look at the house, I made a lot of special provisions for them to come and look up the damage in my house, in the kitchen and in the attic. Basically, they didn't show up and there's no one to contact. I told him I was very upset and I am not gonna work with them any further, then today I got an email, not apologizing for not showing up and they said they didn't show up because it was too dark and that they need to reschedule. They basically failed to communicate with me with the appointment status and just didn't show up and I'm not working with them any further."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Setting up an animal trap in your yard largely depends on where you live and the type of critter you're dealing with. In many states, trapping nuisance animals like squirrels, rats, or raccoons is allowed, sometimes without needing a permit. However, certain wildlife species are protected, and not all states have lenient catch-and-release regulations.

Before placing a trap, check your local laws to avoid fines or other legal issues. Some areas allow DIY trapping, while others may require professional assistance. Most areas require a professional to relocate the animal once trapped. Consulting a pro ensures you handle the situation responsibly, humanely, and within the law.

Metal coil-shaped retriever tools (around $50) help remove empty nests and debris from chimneys. Unless you are sure the nest is vacant, we recommend calling in a pro to handle bird’s nest removal from chimneys, vents, roofs, and other hard-to-reach places.

When selecting the right pest control company to banish mosquito populations around your home, first search for well-reviewed, qualified, licensed professionals. Next, make sure you’re comfortable with the pro’s methods—some companies offer natural control products and not just chemical options. Finally, check the company’s contract carefully for things like guarantees, discounts for multiple treatments, and liability insurance.

On average, fleas can leave for about 2 to 3 months in your carpet. However, if they have access to a host for feeding, they can return to the cozy carpet and live much longer. That’s why it’s essential to remove fleas from your carpet quickly before they take up permanent residence.

You should call pest control for cockroaches when you see two or more of these pests or clear warning signs of an infestation. Signs of an active roach infestation are roach droppings, dark smears on surfaces, roach eggs, foul odors, and shed skins. If you notice these unusual marks in your home, consider hiring a pest control specialist for an inspection.
