We have worked with Dave and his team before. This year was just as excellent as all prior years. They are incredibly responsive when you call. Often within 20 minutes! Always very well prepared when they arrive. They deal with the problem quickly and efficiently. If any follow-up visits are needed, they are very quick to respond. Can't imagine anyone better than this company is.

Dave was great!! I called him after seeing his rating on here and reading reviews. We had a very high volume of yellow jackets going in and out of the grooves in the T-111 where it met the roofline. We could hear them through the interior wall of our house and knew there must have been a pretty large nest in there. He came out the first time and used a spray and a dust to kill the bees and the queen, and drilled a small hole on the interior wall to fog them from that angle as well. He ended up having to come back out as the bees were actually up in the eaves (no fault of Dave's, they were apparently cra wling up through the wall- no way to know that from the outside without tearing it apart) and he fogged and sprayed and dusted up there as well. He didn't charge us for coming back out and took care of the problem. He was so nice and pleasant to talk to the whole time he was here, and explained everything he was doing as he went. He obviously loves what he does and did a great job!! I would have him back in a heartbeat, and we plan on having him do our preventative bee maintinence next year if he can squeeze us in.

Dave was incredibly professional and explained everything to me before he began. He showed me the different types of bees and where they were located. We had quite an infestation! He sprayed the whole house first, then put on his bug suit to spray and remove the yellow jacket nest. Then he walked around the house with a long pole and knocked down all of the nests. I was telling Dave that we just bought the house and went there on Saturday (Aug. 17th) to check things out. We put one of our dogs on the gated deck where she would be and quot;safeand quot;. I checked on her 20 minutes later and she was clawing and pulling at her face and rolling on the deck. I ran to her and saw that there were yellow jackets imbedded in her from one end of her body to the other. They were all around her eyes, on and in her nose, ears and mouth!! My husband took her from the deck and pulled all the bees off of her. I called the vet and drove like a maniac into Camden to get her Benadryl and buffered aspirin as per the vet's instructions. We were truly lucky that she didn't die. He said that all it took was her walking across the deck to aggravate the yellow jackets. It doesn't take much to agitate them. Now she won't ever have to worry about that again. So, for $195.00, we got professionalism, honesty, explanations, a thorough job of removing the bees, and tremendous peace of mind. I don't think anyone can ask for more than that. I would highly recommend Dave and his company to anyone who needed help with any type of bug removal. I know we will certainly have him come back in the Spring just to make sure that we're bee free. Thanks, Dave!
Description of Work: Dave came out and sprayed our entire house for umbrella wasps and removed a huge nest of yellow jackets from under the deck. He also sprayed and removed all of the wasp nests on our garage.

He did a great job explaining everything to me and what needed to be done. He was very polite and professional. I inquired about preventative spraying for spiders and such as well and he gave me his suggestions and was extremely honest about them. He could have very well talked me into spraying right now and I wouldn't have known the difference. Thanks for the professional and honesty! I will definitely be using them in the spring.

He uses environment safe pest control. I would recommend him.
Description of Work: We used The Bugman Pest Control for pest control services. We have a huge problem with hornets, honeybees and anything else that can build a nest and then attack you. He came out and sprayed the house. He put some sort of stuff behind the shutters outside of the house. We have little mounds of sand and couldn't figure out what it was and he told us that that's where the sweat bees come from. He actually sprayed the front yard free of charge for us.

Kyle of The Bugman Pest Control went under my house and took out this gigantic nest of yellowjackets. He taught me so much about how you have to get rid of them, and how they can come after you if you are an acre away! This was another guy who just loves his work. I think they deal with lots of other kinds of pests. I asked him about ants and stuff like that and what sort of remedies he would suggest for my house, and he talked about that. He said that this nest had been originally another kind of yellowjacket but that lately a new kind had started to use part of an old nest. The experience made me kind of like bugs! He had all the EPA numbers of all the stuff and he explained to me about how they had to use two different products because one of them is a powder spray which confuses the bugs so they don't get away, and then the stronger chemical kills them.

Bug Man #3 called and asked if he could come early, which was news to our ears because of the threat the yellow jackets posed on our front porch. For several weeks the activity of the yellow jackets had increased noticably and they seemd much more agressive. We thought the nest was in the porch ceiling, but it turned out that they had gotten into an interior wall and built a huge nest. They were only using the openings around the porch ceiling to get inside. BugMan #3 suited up in his bee suit and sprayed into the porch ceiling area and then blew a fine insecticide dust around all the openings along the ceiling.The powder got on the yellow jackets anytime they went in or out and ultimately killed them. BugMan #3 then came into the house and used a stethoscope to pinpoint the nest location in the wall. When the first spray in the porch ceiling got to the nest, we could hear the wall buzzing in a frenzy. With the nest located, BugMaN #3, drilled three tinyl holes in the wall and injected the chemicals directly into the nest to kill the queen. The nest went crazy and buzzed loudly over the next three days, being a little less loud each day. By the end of day three, the wall was quiet. BugMan #3 said it would take three or four days for all the foraging yellow jackets to return to the nest, and we did see them coming in and out of the porch ceiling over the next four days, and then they were all gone. BugMan#3 told us not to open the wall to clean out the nest until at least two weeks after treatment so any hatching larva would have time to die. The nest in the wall must be huge, because it smelled as it decayed. We will be opening the wall and removing the nest and replacing the insulation and dry wall. We are very pleased customers and would recomment Bug Man to anyone with bug problems. There service is very reasonable, very professional, and effective.
Description of Work: Provided a wealth of information about the situation (yellow jackets in the wall of the house) and how the treatment would work and what to watch for afterwards. Sprayed nest from outside, put control powder around the entry points, and then drilled three very small holes on the interior wall to deliver spray directly into the nest.

It was a very good experience, the rep was very professional and wasted no time getting the job done. I originally called a couple of days before and Dave set the appointment himself for a few days after (lot of bees this year). Anyway they responded to phone call in no time and set an appt and when he came out everything was done very efficiently.
Description of Work: I had yellow jackets building a nest in the clapboard of my house. The Bug Man rep came and put on his bee suit and went to work after thoroughly briefing me on the situation. They sprayed a resuidual insecticide into the opening and within a day or two the yellow jackets were gone.

I called Dave the bug man because I had a few Wasp nests starting to form in my Attic Vents, and also a Yellow Jacket nest in the corner of my bay windows by my front door entrance. Dave arrived right on time and we began to chat about the problem and he explained in detail what he was going to do, how he was going to do it and even educated me on all kinds of pests and potential problems. He did the services as explained and it was the exact amount that I was quoted plus tax. No surprises. I told him I will definitely have him back next season to spray again.
Description of Work: Dave knocked down the requested Wasp and Yellow Jacket nests. He even found and knocked down ones I wasn't aware of hidden in the hand rails of my deck in the back yard. He also sprayed preventative treatment around my entire house including the backyard fencing, deck, underneath the deck, eves, foundation, even the stairs and retaining wall of my driveway. He sprayed every little nook and cranny he could get to.

Very high marks! They've helped us solve a long-standing pesky carpenter problem we've had. While the problem was on-going, whenver we had the ants surface, they'd come out extremely quicky. One time they showed up 10 mintues after we called! The treatment they used was safe for us and our pets. Very professional and caring!

We had called another pest control company and received an estimate for $185 to spray the nest, but not remove it (they said for liability reasons). Dave the Pest Man said he could do it for under $100 and would remove the nest as long as it was only external to the house. We hired him. They were extremely professional, quick, and when they did not hear the bees inside our walls, told us so and only charged us for the external removal. We were very happy and would definitely recommend to anyone. It's a small local company, and they seem to know that treating customers professionally and fairly is what will keep them in business.
Description of Work: Large bees nest/hive was removed from our 2nd floor soffit. Evaluated the area, including inside our walls to see how far nest had penetrated.

If you hate dealing with pushy, aggressive, or aloof contractors, and if you are tired of shoddy work and lack of professionalism, then you will be so pleasantly surprised working with Dave the Bug Man. We had a MAJOR problem with carpenter ants, and previous exterminators could not get rid of the problem. My wife finally found Dave and said she was hiring him. and quot;Dave the Bug Man?and quot;, I said. That sounds weird...but then when I met Dave I know why he called himself the Bug Man. This dude knows his bugs! He predicted everywhere in and around the home where we would have problems (nests), and he was spot on. The birch tree, the cherry tree, and the confluence of three roof areas. He also said: and quot;With these cedar shingles, I bet you get lots of ladybugs, and woodpeckers chasing em tooand quot;. He was exactly right! and quot;He IS the bug manand quot;, I thought. So friendly, so personable, and so knowledgeable! The work was then performed as expected. He came back once more to give a spot check and re-apply. And last but not least, when I finally had my roof replaced, the roofers told me they found a large nest (again, predicted by Dave, but inaccessible for chemicals at that point). Once the roof was off, I called Dave and he came over THAT SAME DAY to take care of the newly discovered nest, even though he had other appointments. To top it all off, he even uses organic pesticides which put me at ease for the small children we have and our dog. If you have a bug problem, do not think twice: use Dave the Bug Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
