Jerry the Bee Guy

Perfectly. Marvin removed the nest swiftly without any spraying, and the wasps have not come back. He was also friendly!

Marvin removed a large bald-faced hornet nest from our backyard, using no pesticides, no chemicals, etc. He as amazing! Our kids and all the neighbor kids were in awe! Will definitely hire him again if we need him.

Marvin did a fantastic job with our bumblebees. We had a hive in our pampas grass near the house. He was quick to respond when we sent an email late in the day, and the next morning, he was out at the house helping out. Marvin took care of clearing out the hive, vacuuming all the bees into a safe container for transportation. He went the extra mile to help make sure that everything was taken care off. In addition, he also provided great insights about working with the bees in the future. The costs were exactly what you see on the website. Thanks for all the great work! We'll be sure to reach out to Marvin again if we need help in the future!

Marvin from Jerry the Bee Guy used infrared equipment to locate the hive inside the wall cavity. He then cordoned off the area with plastic sheeting, cut open the wall, and removed the hive and all bees there at the time. In addition, he identified the exterior access points, plugged them, and screened off the opening he created in the wall. A few stragglers lived on for a few weeks, but as Marvin anticipated, they died off. I was a little skeptical of that, but he was willing to return to honor the work if the problem had persisted. Like his quarry, Marvin is very busy, but persist and you'll be very satisfied with his work. You'll also learn a lot about bees.

We discovered a wasp nest about the size of a cantaloupe hanging from a chest-height branch in the rear of our back yard. We looked for the lowest price and had the pleasant surprise of working with someone very personable, professional, and thorough. Jerry happened to be close by and available, and he showed up within an hour or two of calling him. He got to work within a few minutes. While in a protective suit, he bagged the nest, ripped it off the branch, and dunked it into a bucket full of liquid?I'm assuming water or something non-toxic because Jerry's services specifically say he doesn't use poison. He then spent a good ten or fifteen minutes swiping up the airborne wasps with a net and offing them, too. I didn't know much about the life cycle of a wasp queen or how long to avoid the area where the nest had been until all of the drones that had been gone at the time of removal had died off, and Jerry happily answered those questions. He even showed me a wasp nest about the size of a golf ball to demonstrate what I might look for in the future if wasps ever migrated to my area again. A+! I would definitely contact Jerry the Bee Guy again for any future stinging pest problems.

Marvin ("Jerry the Bee Guy") is a super nice guy, very knowledgeable about the little creatures he removes, and very careful to try to get them all so as not leave any 'orphans'. He explained what he was doing and cheerfully answered all my questions. It was interesting to watch the removal process. He first bagged the birdhouse with a fabric bag to keep the bumblebees from escaping and then unscrewed the house from the pole so he could take the nest that was inside the house. (It was an old house and had attracted wasps in the past so we were fine with him just taking the whole house.) After he put the house/nest in his vehicle, he came back with a net so he could catch any of the bumblebees that returned to the pole looking for their home. He explained that these were the workers who had been out foraging. If he didn't catch them and relocate them with the rest of the colony, they would die. Marvin didn't want to leave any of them behind and even though it was a hot day, he waited in the sun for over a half an hour in full bee gear to give as many bumblebees as possible time to return. He did a great job at a reasonable price (flat rate for removal plus per-mile travel cost). If I ever have any bee problems in the future, I will call Marvin!

Marvin was punctual (even a bit early), efficient, and explained the process. He made a suggestion that yard work be postponed in the nest area a few days for safety assurance.

Marvin (Jerry the Bee Guy) did a top notch job. He arrived on time, was friendly, knowledgeable and very skilled at his work. He explained the situation and options at each step of the removal process. He was thoughtful and skillful in opening up the exterior portion of the house to gain access to the hive. He was patient ensuring that all the bees, honeycomb and other related materials were removed and that the house frame was well sealed to avoid similar future occupation. He offered advice to minimize any potential reoccurrence. When he was done the fact that he had removed and replaced soffits, shingles and framing was hardly noticeable and didn't even require any touch-up painting. The cost of service, given the time and effort involved, was quite reasonable. We certainly would use his services again if needed, and recommend him highly.

He was great. He was really knowledgeable about bees. He was intent to get them all, and in an effective manner. He was fantastic, and we have recommended him to other people. He was very helpful, and we don't have any more bees.

Marvin was great. I called and he came out the very next day and got rid of the nests when our contracted service couldn't. Now, I can get our air conditioning fixed (it was 98 degrees yesterday) because the yellow jackets are gone. I think we'll cancel with our other service and call Marvin from Jerry the Bee Guy when we need him. I'm going to recommend him to all our friends.

Marvin arrived and analyzed the problem. I had dozens of bees that would go between the trim on the outside of my front door. There was obviously a space in the overhang in front of my door. Initially he thought he would remove some of the wood that I would have to patch later. Then he asked if there was an attic crawlspace and wanted to go up their and take a look. He realized one getting into the crawlspace that he could remove the bees. There was a large nest and also a honeycomb that that hundreds of baby bees. I am so thankful that he went the extra mile to explore the attic space for removal. A lot less headache and money for me in the end then having to patch the wood!!

Marvin! Friendly, outgoing, and thorough. No nonsense. No pesticides. A+++

I called Jerry the Bee Guy to ask about the bees/wasps I see coming in beneath my front window and get an estimate for removal. Instead, he gave me a free education on the type of pest I probably have and a detailed plan of action on how to watch for the colony to die off for the winter and then seal the entrance . He also told me what to watch and listen for to determine if I have a larger problem in the wall and what to avoid so I don't make the problem worse. I'm going to listen to him and hopefully solve this on my own. If I ever do need a professional, I will definitely call him.

Marvin (who bought the and quot;Jerry the Bee Guyand quot; business a few years back) was great. He returned my call while I was leaving him a message; we arranged for him to come to my house and remove the nest yet the same afternoon. I could not give precise details on what kind of a nest or even exactly where--all I had to go on was an email from a neighbor who had had a gardener stung that day. By the time I got home, there were no signs that there had ever been a nest. Prompt, easy to work with, thorough, and very reasonably priced. While I hope I don't need the service again, if I do, I'd call him in a heartbeat.

Marvin (he took over the business from Jerry) was super nice. I called him Friday morning. He was swamped with calls, and ended up coming on Sunday afternoon. He was quite practical as well as cheery. We sat inside the house and watched through the window as he tried a few different ways to access the nest before finally determining that he needed to cut a whole in the ceiling (he got permission from us first). It was fascinating to watch.

I called. He responded and did the task the very afternoon. Environmentally sensitive work. Cost about half of what other providers charge.

Marvin was a life saver. I came home from a week long business trip to have my neighbor tell me that it looked like I had a wasps nest in the side of my house. Sure enough, there was steady traffic in and out of the outdoor siding, and to make matters worse, they were starting to come inside the house. I gave Marvin a call and he came out the same day to assess the situation. He confirmed the nest, and was very thoughtful in how he approached the job (and tried to minimize damage to the house when removing the nest). He definitely knows his bugs (yellow jackets in my case) and the cost was very reasonable.

Marvin answered the phone the first time I called and was available to help the next day. He arrived on time and ready to help. I had a big yellow jacket nest inside a cavity in my wall...not convieniently located in my siding or in my crawlspace (which would have been a lot easier to deal with or find). Using his understanding of those little beasts, he had to cut a hole in the side of my house using his best guess...and he FOUND IT! An easily fixiable hole, very clean cut and he did the job successfully! I had a big nest in there and would have NEVER gotten rid of this thing on my own! He provided me with follow up information and he was right on! They are finally gone! Thanks Marvin....I'll call him any time I have problems with Yellow Jackets again!

Recently purchased house, noticed on Sunday morning that there were some type of bee going in and out of one of my bird/air vents in my eave. Immediately panicked, of course. Did some research, determined that I wanted someone specifically knowledgeable about bees, liked the reviews, and called Jerry the Bee Guy. Marvin was great. Returned my call that day within a couple of hours (he was on call) and was able to fit me in just a few hours later.. He came out, determined they were yellowjackets, and gave me two options. I could either call a poison person and have them kill them, or he could pop open the vent and pull out the nest. I didn't want to have to call another service person and had no idea how big the nest was since he said it was the most activity he had seen that far in the season. I learned a lot, it was a pretty fascinating process. He vacuumed them up and put the nest in soapy water. He then put screening on the hole and let me know there would probably be a few stragglers (which there were the next couple of days) but that they wouldn't be able to survive without their nest. Oh, and he provided me suggestions for making sure they couldn't set up shop in my vents again (poor/lazy construction). I even got to see some of the live honeybees he was relocating to his backyard. Pretty cool. Thanks, Marvin. I definitely know who to call next time.

He showed up, assessed the situation, examined all possibilities, and removed the bees, including the queen.

Marvin came out when he said he would. He described what type of bees we had and proceeded to remove the nest without killing the bees. Excellent service.

We did not realize how big our problem was until Jerry came. If you see 20 dead bees on your floor it may mean that you have another 1500 in the ceiling. He got rid of them without using pesticides. He just used a shop vac with water and they all die a peaceful death or at least that is what I told my kids. He cleaned up after he was done although we had to do the drywall repair ourselves. The bees had worked their way through our ceiling so he made a nice hole to capture them all. He's a really nice guy who made our problem his top priority since one of the family members is allergic to bees.

As I stated above, the job went extremely well. I would not hesitate to hire Jerry the Bee Guy again.

Quick and easy! Had the location of the nest/hive been in a different location it might have taken a bit longer but we got lucky and it was pretty straight forward. He (Marvin) came and looked were the bee's were entering, removed a facade board and presto! there it was. He removed the nest/hive and collected a large percentage of lingering bee's and that was it. Like I said, quick and easy, no muss no fuss. Very happy to have them gone! Do: Call Jerry the Bee Guy. Don't Do: What I did and try to solve the problem on your own. I tried several different things to get rid of them and all it did was cost money and gave the bee's time to grow their nest/hive even larger.

We had a rodent inspector out to see why we were hearing scratching in our walls and were told we had bees -- imagine our surprise! We contacted Jerry the Bee Guy after reading the reviews on Angie's List and received a response from Marvin the same evening. Marvin asked a few questions via email to try to get a sense of what he would be dealing with, we sent a few pictures of the area and the next day he was here to get to work. He removed three old hives and an active bumblebee hive. This wasn't a simple task as he had to take the soffit boards off and the facia from the roof that was rotting. He came very prepared with a lot of tools and gadgets to determine where the hives were located -- including a heat sensor and camera - who knew it was so high tech. He was very careful and covered the areas back up so any new visitors couldn't get in. He also helped us with a yellow jacket queen bee that was trying to take up residence at the back of our house. Marvin provided suggestions for prevention too. Marvin is very friendly and knowledgeable about bees - we learned a lot and have a new appreciation for bees. We have a young child so we were thrilled Jerry was able to remove the bees without using any pesticides and it was really fun for the neighborhood kids to be able to see the hive. We couldn't be more pleased with the experience and would highly recommend Jerry the Bee Guy to anyone with bees.
