    Did a great job, father and Son. They sent a video of where the hive was while they were on my roof with all the bees and what was planned before anything was done and then gave me a price. Honest and dependable. Would tell all my neighbors and friends how wonderful they are. So glad I found this Son and Father team. Even left me the honeycomb, very very fair prices. Thank you

    Stole the honey. He sais he has 4000 jars of honey at his house, doesnt need mine

    I hired this guy to remove a bee colony with very clear instructions: leave the honey. Instead, he took everything -- the honey, the bees -- and dumped a deadout box of debris back at my property like it was trash. No explanation, no accountability. To top it off, he tried to charge nearly $3,000 for half a day of work. No honey, no respect. The whole thing felt like a setup -- and he runs this with his sister, who clearly knew what was happening. I've spoken to several local beekeepers and bee removal experts since, and all agreed: This guy is running a bait-and-switch scam. He profits by taking your bees, keeping the honey, and then charging you on top -- while reselling both under the table. Dishonest, overpriced, and unethical. I wouldn't trust him near your property or your bees. Save yourself the regret and hire someone reputable..

    Bee Hive

    This family-owned business was awesome! I contacted another bee business and they flaked on me, but busy bee followed up with me immediately and was so very punctual. Fernando and his sister were so very professional during the whole process and answered all my questions about the hive and the removal. They were very open and honest with the removal and the pricing was very fair! I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

    I wish all service companies were as excellent as this family owned business! Fernando immediately responded to my inquiry of removing a bee hive in my front yard tree. He arrived the next day with his father and safely relocated the bee hive and its queen. I was relieved there were no more bees in sight the following morning near my property (I was very concerned about my 6 month old being stung when going on walks). The cost was also very reasonable for a hive located almost 12 feet high above the street. I give Busy Bee Removal a 10/10 on all aspects of service!

    We can't recommend Fernando highly enough! As a roofing company, we ran into a serious issue during a roof demo today when our crew disturbed a MASSIVE beehive hidden inside the walls of the home. The bees started swarming and even stung two of our guys. We called Fernando, and he answered immediately and came out the same day--TODAY. He quickly found the hive inside the wall, gave us a very reasonable quote, and with the homeowner's approval, removed the entire colony right then and there. Fast, professional, and a total lifesaver. If you ever need bee removal--Fernando is your guy! Thank you for the Top Roofing team!

    First wasp hive/nest we found.

    On a Saturday afternoon, we noticed what we thought may be a bee hive under the eaves of our roof at the front of the house. But in looking at it closely and trying to tap it with a long stick, it looked like a wasp nest. After calling a few places, we connected with Fernando. He asked the size of the hive/nest, which was about the size of an orange. He was straight forward on the call on pricing: $150 for the first removal and said they'll usually be more around the house and they'll do a visual inspection. For each additional they find, it'll be $25. He managed to get a technician out within an hour, as they were finishing up another job. The technician sprayed foam and scraped off the hive/nest. Then he walked around the entire perimeter of the house checking for more. And sure enough, there was another hive/nest being formed on the other side of the house and a smaller one at the very inner top of our garage roof eaves. The technician got a ladder and got rid of both. The technician also said to keep an eye out if we see 4-5 wasps flying around and to call them. They'll do a follow up service, complimentary. He also recommended to do visual checks and if caught early enough and small enough, hosing it down can get rid of it. Grateful for the quick response and honest pricing.

    CUSTOMER SERVICE: Excellent customer service and communication! I contacted the company through Yelp to get a quote for a bee hive removal. Fernando responded promptly and answered any questions I had. It was easy to set up an appointment and they came out promptly! COMPLETION OF JOB: There were two hives that needed to be removed. Fernando and his team used a thermal camera to locate the hives to see how big they were. They removed the hives and sealed the areas so bees would not return. They do not repair or paint. Fernando anticipated having to cut out a piece of the plywood/roof, and it was possible that a hole would be left behind, which would have to be patched by someone else. However, his team cut and was able to replace the plywood and seal it. CLEANLINESS: The team arrived and prepped the area. After completion, the team swept and washed the area. I saw some residue honey/liquid and contacted Fernando and he sent a team member the same day to clean it! PROFESSIONALISM: Fernando was prompt, polite, and provided me with his business license and liability insurance when requested (required for HOA to approve vendors). I highly recommend Busy Bee Removal and would contact them again if needed!

    Samuel vacuuming our bees
    Aprille C.

    I had a bee swarm in my yard. They were in a bush for a whole week. I got a quote online from Fernando. He sent Samuel in about 1 1/2 hrs. Samuel vacuumed up the bees to relocate them in about 45 min and answered my barrage of questions. Since it was in a bush, he cut off a few branches to take the pheromones with him. My plant doesn't even miss the branches. Excellent fast work. Thank goodness they didn't move into the chimney or somewhere on our house. Thanks Busy Bee Removal!

    Excellent service! Fernando was timely, fast, and incredibly professional. He quickly assessed the situation, and safely removed the bees without any hassle. Highly recommended!

    EXCELLENT customer service, quick response, very fast quote, and professional. Fernando's father came and did a thorough check and exterminated the hornets (we thought they were bees but NOT!) and patched up the holes thoroughly. He even gave me a bug spray in case I needed extra. Super lucky to have found them on yelp and would highly recommend them.

    I'd like to update my review since my first stellar review was for the initial estimate process…read moreonly and I said I would update (but forgot). It's been 5 years and we've had plenty of people up in our attic since Rodent Masters completed our job and any time someone goes up there, I beg them to check and double check to ensure there are no rodent droppings. During this time, we have not heard a peep in the attic which is a complete 180 from what we were hearing before - it always sounded like the rats were having a party up there in the middle of the night. The process took about a month from start to finnish because the first thing they do is cover and patch all holes or entrances up so that nothing can get in (or out) and not just outside of the house but inside the attic and inside every single area from within the house. It's a LOT of work but they did it very well. Then, they came back and, in our case, because things were so bad, they sucked out all of the insulation and then reinsulated the entire attic with much higher quality material than what had been removed. Then they came back on final time to ensure there was no activity. So, I have no reason not to continue recommending Rodent Masters and I have for the last 5 years. I do think I will contact them soon though just to have someone do a walk around to ensure there are no new holes that have developed since they were last here. Highly recommend and I'm glad to see that the reviews continue to be outstanding since the one I gave 5 years ago!

When I inspected it closer I saw these grotesque little things moving around inside the hole. I thought immediately, termites! Even though I had never seen a termite before, and then after verifying it online, I immediately began to stress out regarding the cost. Termike Pest Control had very favorable reviews on Yelp. They responded to my inquiry pretty quickly, so I scheduled an appointment for an inspection. The owner of the company, Mike, came out to do the inspection... the same day I called! He immediately identified that we had subterranean termites. He worked with my budget, was very pleasant, and assured me that I could use a payment plan to pay off my amount. I was sold. The process was very simple, he sent me the contract, he even amended it to show a few things that I wanted in writing. No questions asked. We scheduled crew to come out about a week and a half after the contract was signed. They sent an incredible technician, Max. He was knowledgeable, extremely pleasant, extremely honest, answered every single question that my wife and I had, and went above and beyond! He assured us of the effectiveness of the process, and similarly did everything to relax our nerves with these disgusting little creatures. We were extremely, extremely pleased to have him as our technician! I highly recommend this company!

Today, after I posted my original review, they called me from a number that is not associated with their business online and is marked as spam, so I didn't pick up the first time. I did pick up the second time. I asked them to respond to my emails instead of calling so there would be a written record. They claimed they never received any emails from me, until I sent them screenshots of the emails I previously sent. All screenshots of emails and calls are included below. Regarding the service: When Termike previously worked on our home, they did excellent rodent proofing and were very thorough and tidy. This most recent visit was the opposite. The new technician spray-foamed into our mesh crawlspace vent rather than patching with hardware cloth (as Termike had done in the past). The undersink work was sloppy and left gaps and sharp edges. The tech damaged our plumbing and left us with a leak. We ultimately hired folks to fix the plumbing and to redo everything, at additional cost. During the visit, the technician repeatedly argued with me about the work and insisted I was mistaken about Termike's previous methods. When I continued asking questions, he became increasingly dismissive. This arose because I asked why he would spray foam a hole in a mesh vent rather than patch it with mesh, like they did before. My husband had to ask him to leave because the discussion was going nowhere and his work was not satisfactory, not to mention the broken plumbing. Termike has repeatedly invoiced me for $400 while not responding to any of my emails until after I posted this review. The company's response here claims I used "derogatory language" and "threatened negative reviews," which is not true. I have provided screenshots of all communication and there is no such threat or language in any of them. I posted this review only after being ignored for a month. I post negative reviews about companies when it is appropriate. I also post positive reviews. I try to be honest and accurate. It is disappointing that a company we previously had a good experience with handled this situation in this way.
