    This is more is the angry swarm. That is right in front of my door.
    Magda D.

    I contacted JW to remove two beehives from my property. I called and he responded immediately. That was good. So I booked JW for the next day. We made a deal for JW to remove two bee hives from my property ENTIRELY, and humanely relocate them. There was an 'Air Hive' which was visible located under my eaves, and another hive that wasn't visible located inside the eaves. He removed the 'Air Hive' and the queen and the entire hive as agreed. However, the one I was having an issue with was the bee hive inside the eaves right next to a walkway that was 7' high. Not much clearance. He removed the wood panel under the eaves, and threw them in my trash bin. He said he removed the queen and the eggs. Our agreement was to REMOVE all of the bees from both hives and humanely relocate them. When I went to see the work he had done, the air hive was removed. But the other hive he did not. There was a swarm of 'angry' bees he hadn't removed. This is the MAIN REASON I hired him, to remove these bees in their entirety, not presumably take the queen and eggs, and leave an angry swarm for me to 'deal' with. He said he wanted to be paid, and the angry swarm would leave in two days. That was not acceptable. I took a video of the angry bees and asked him to remove them as promised and agreed to. He proceeded to confront me and threaten me in my front yard, yelling to say that he wanted to be paid, and if I didn't pay him, he would take the hive that he had removed from the sealed box and return them to me. He yelled that he would dump them and let them go. He did just that. He brought the box to my front yard and dumped the box of now VERY ANGRY BEES in my front yard. Thousands of them. He was still yelling and confrontational, pursuing me around the block. The neighbors noticed, and the police were called, he immediately jumped in his truck and fled. The police arrived, with four cars, and had to block off my street for public safety, as this person had released a swarm of bees in my front yard. At this point I had been stung and was having an allergic reaction, so the paramedics came, assessed me, and called an ambulance; off to the hospital I went. In the meantime, the police had cordoned off my house, blocked the entrance to and from my street, a cul-de-sac, and called an exterminator for the bees. An hour later, one came and had to euthanize these beautiful bees that he had removed from my home. By the time this was completed, it had taken 4 hours from when the police arrived to procure the safety of my property, until they had left and unblocked my street. This has caused harm to my neighbors as well as myself. I arrived home from the hospital at 9:00 pm to a mass of dead bees, this made me terribly sad. This is not acceptable behavior. I would not hire this person again, ever. He portrays himself to be knowledgeable about bees, and wanting to save and relocate them, but behaving like this, and causing this much harm to the bees, leads me to believe he is untrustworthy and not a reliable person to hire for this work.

    I took the matter into my own hands and found JW through a bee remover site that knows the importance of bees.

    Every 5 years, it seems I have had to come back to Yelp for Exterminator/Termite recommendations…read more This time around, I went through several recommendations and landed on Bug Baron. Normally, I like to be present for inspections, but because it didn't work out this time, my wife was there. After several estimates, she settled on Bug Baron for their clear explanation of the treatment, professionalism, and willingness to get their hands dirty and be thorough in locating termite activity. I had The Termite Guy come out since they did the last service over 5 years ago, and they were not as thorough. Not to mention, they focused more on selling me on the company, yet were not willing to do anything that would give me the impression they had identified the issue, so I went with Bug Baron. Simon, my point of contact, is a pro. He was always responsive, willing to answer my questions, and patient in dealing with my schedule. Given that I had received so many estimates, he price matched what i had been quoted. Further adding to the value of them vs the other guys, his warranty was for 5 years, while the others were either 1 or 3 years, and if you wanted a 3-year, you had to pay a pretty penny. Overall, great company, great communication with Simon, great value for the scope of work, and very interested in addressing my issues without pushing to sell me on something I may not need. Highly recommend Simon and Bug Baron!

I stumbled across bug baron and let me tell you, I'm so glad I did! Mike our tech came at the time he said he would, was very informative, and you can tell he enjoys his job. He heard our concerns, and voiced his own opinion of what was going on. The service (treatment) was only outdoor, but next time it will be indoor as well. The value is unmatched as many other exterminators charge an arm and a leg each month for minimal service and everything above minimum, is an up charge! With the summer just around the corner you may want to look into getting bug baron for your exterminator or preventative needs. The prices are fair, service is great, and I'm overall happy with the customer service! Great job!

That's service we NEVER received from Corky's. We then had them replace all the fascia and corbels on our 2 story home which was extensive. Justin and his crew were absolutely awesome!! Gary and Jason arrived on time every morning and did such a fantastic job. The painter Mike was also excellent. Everything was replaced, painted on all sides and sprayed with a treatment to prevent termites. While waiting for the corbels to come in, they even put mesh over the openings to prevent any rodents from getting in. As Gary did our final walk around, I found out he had also fixed so many different areas with rodent protection that I didn't even know about, which made me so happy. They truly treated my home like it was their own. They also treated for subterranean termites and did ant and spider treatments. We were previously with Corky's for well over 10 years and the level of service we have received from Grand Oak Termite is a MILLION times better. They are definitely our new pest control company going forward. Thank you for a job well done.

    I tried my best to rid my house of the rodents that took up residence but finally called in Home…read moreShield (HS) as the experts. During the process, I came in contact with about a half dozen team members, all of whom were friendly, professional, and personally concerned with our wellbeing. That was important because I found that ridding a home of rodents is not easily achieved. The initial step was to survey the house, seal potential entry sites, then set the traps. The HS team completed the process and set up an appointment to check the traps. after a couple visits, we still heard the vermin scratching around. So, HS brought in a senior inspector who found a few open areas I never would have thought to identify (openings between the outside wall and the foundation that were tucked up underneath the visible area). Those areas were sealed and within ten days, we no longer heard anything. I check of the traps today revealed a large intruder had been eliminated. Home shield performed like partners in our quest to eliminated rodents from our home. They came back as often as needed without complaint and escalated appropriately to assure our problem was solved. And importantly, they never once questioned our reports of hearing critters.

After my initial call, I knew I had made the right choice. The agent who answered my call was very helpful, friendly, understanding, and professional. I scheduled an appointment, and after one treatment, all bug problems were gone. Fast forward to a week ago. I saw a single water bug run across my front lawn while watering. Fearing these pests had returned and taken over the bottom of my home, I called this company again. The agent I spoke with was very friendly and professional, just like the first time I called four years ago. I arranged an inspection at a time that fit my schedule, which I really appreciated, unlike other companies that just tell you when they're available. On the day of my appointment, Joe came out and did a full inspection. Joe told me he found moisture in two areas under my home (I will contact a plumber soon), but the good news is that he didn't see any live water bugs--only a few dead ones. Joe was very friendly and polite, taking time to explain several options his company offers to prevent bugs from coming back. I will be using this company in the upcoming weeks for prevention. Joe also said there would be no charge for his visit--thank you! From start to finish, the customer service from this company on two separate occasions has been outstanding, and I truly appreciate it. The company and its staff are honest, trustworthy, hardworking, and experts at their craft. Thank you for resolving my concerns positively.

    On June 5 2026, we found out that we had a rodent problem in our house because when I was sleeping,…read moreI heard some scratching somewhere close to my room. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that something had been chewing on my carpet and my wooden door. This is when we started to get concerned. We called our pest company to have them check out what was happening but when they came, they simple gave us some traps where they can get stuck. Throughout this whole ordeal, none of the traps that they gave us and we bought were ineffective. Fast forward a couple of days later, the rodent moved from my room to a smaller room where my dad likes to take a nap. He woke up in a panic because the rodent was on top of his blanket. This is when I decided to look for a company that takes care of rodents. I looked up on yelp and spent hours reading reviews and ended up choosing 360 rodent control. When I sent a message, they replied right away and got me on the phone to set up an appointment for a free inspection (Thank you Lee for coordinating this). Micah came in for the free inspection and spent the entire 2 hours thoroughly checking our entire house. Our house was built in 1940 and we bought it in 2012 so I understand that there's a lot of work that needs to be done. He pointed out the potential rodent entry points, checked our attic, our crawl spaces, etc and showed me some pictures and videos for evidence that we do have a rodent problem. Before ending the inspection, Micah sat down with me and told me the issues that I am having and was honest about what needed to be done. No upselling whatsoever. He was just honest about it. When I asked him about about how much this would cost me, I hesitated for a little but I was glad that they have financing options that would fit my budget. In exchange for my peace of mind, I decided to rodent proof my house with them. He explained to me what they were exactly going to do. During the day of exclusion, George, Jose, and Santiago came out to our residence at 8:45 am. They explained to me what they were going to do and did exactly what they said. They worked diligently and left our residence at 2:45 pm. I am hoping that we won't have this problem anymore. We will follow up with them in a week to see any progress. Thank you 360 rodent control team!
