Everything went very smooth. The technition came, inspected where the nest was, and within an hour or so, the nest was killed. It's been over a year now and I have not seen any activity near the nest.
Description of Work: They killed a nest of German Yellow Jackets that had build a next inside our exterior wall of the house. The nest was inside the studs, so there was not way to remove it without opening up the wall. They decided to spray the inside cavity with high pressure killer, and the exterior with a different killer that would kill any remaining bees that return to the nest.

After unsuccessfully trying to eliminate carpenter bees on my own I made a call to Ian at Bee Control. The response was quick and the results outstanding. Since the Soffit and Fascia on the house were treated I haven't seen a single bee If we ever again have a problem with bees I'll be calling Bee Control.

The owner is very nice. Never hurried on the phone. Prompt in returning phone calls and accommodating with scheduling. The technicians are always professional, punctual, thorough. When you pay for the preventative services, you have free treatment when a bee problem occurs. We have needed that service and they come right out when you call and the problem is always solved.
Description of Work: They do the bee control in the spring (spraying the house, the grounds around the house, deck areas, and inside if needed (if you had seen bee activity in an attic) and then again in the fall to spray for stink bugs. It's approximately $480 in the spring. The stink bug service in the fall is about $350. Worth the money to me to be bee-free and then to be covered in case of a bee problem. Also, although people don't necessarily think spraying for stink bugs works, my stink bug problem is way less severe with the Bee Control application than it was without it.

My experience was pretty good. They have been able to get rid of the bees. We did not like that they left some of the powder residue on the porch side walk and some got on our deck chairs. It was easily cleaned, though.

WE'VE USED THEM FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS AND HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH THEIR SERVICE. IN 2013, AFTER THE INITIAL SPRAYING OF OUR PROPERTY, WE DID HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEES GOING INTO A WALL IN OUR HOUSE. ONE CALL TO BEE CONTROL AND THEY WERE THERE THE NEXT DAY. THE PROBLEM WAS TAKEN CARE OF, THEIR SERVICE WAS PROMPT AND THERE WAS NO EXTRA COST.

Bee Control provided excellent services. From my very first phone call to the completion of the job and then later in response to questions I had about the chemicals used, the Bee Control staff -- especially Ian -- was caring, friendly, professional and effective. The carpenter bees are gone and there has been no recurrence of the problem. Bee Control is not the least expensive outfit you can deal with in the greater Pittsburgh area. But they may well be the best. For marginal additional cost you will have the peace of mind of dealing with an outstanding and completely trustworthy company. I will use them again for any future problems.
Description of Work: Treated porch roof for carpenter bees. Checked for additional pest problems. Sprayed porch to prevent future infestation.

This company is great! We have depended on their services for 3 years now. They send us a reminder every spring to schedule our prevention. One year we had some bees start a nest in our swings et and they came quickly to take care of it for no additional charge. Ian and his team are top notch.

For several years Bee Control has been handling all of my stinging insect issues at my apartment complex .They have ALWAYS been very responsive to my needs and very knowledgeable about their business. From the owner to the technicians they have been nothing but a pleasure to deal with. I have never compared their pricing with anyone else because the level of service they provide is really what matters to me.

Everyone I dealt with was extremely helpful and professional. The best part of the service was how promptly everything was taken care of.
Description of Work: I had an underground yellowjacket nest. I had roofers at my house that refused to finish my roof because when they threw their tools down, it disturbed the nest. Needless to say I was slightly desperate when I called Bee Control. The person I spoke to was very reassuring and they sent someone out that day. The nest was removed and I haven't seen a yellowjacket since.

They're professional and prompt. The cost is fairly expensive, but then the work they do is inherently more dangerous than some pest control services so it balances out. Also, coverage continues through the end of the year so if you have any problem with stinging insects on/in your house, or your yard, they'll come back to treat the affected area and there's no additional cost. I have been working with Bee Control for several years and have found the owner to be very professional and always accommodating.

I'm sorry, I now forget the date and the price. But I would never think of using another service for bee control. The owner, Ian, is very friendly, and he arranged an almost immediate visit from his tech people, at a time when they were very pressed with demands. I've used the service twice before as well, and every time, the people who have come to do the work have been professional, friendly, and helpful. I have very seldom had such good experiences with even local businesses.

Yellow Jackets and other varieties of wasps were entering attic along roof line, under the shingles, close to our patio area. A raccoon had actually climbed onto the roof and damaged some shingles while attempting to get to the nests. We had used Ian's services several years earlier and were impressed not only with his university degree (from Scotland) in this science, but in the thorough execution of the process. No method, of course, will keep the critters away for ever, without regular updates. My fault for not updating as recommended. But his technician did apply the proper sprays externally, as well as a fogging bomb in the closed attic crawlspace, and sprayed around our driveway walls were we had seen ground-dwelling wasps. I had recommended Bee Control to a neighbor for similar problems, and Bee Control was able to do both of us the same day for a small discount from the regular rate.
