I called The Bee Hunter yesterday and Jim was out early this morning to deal with my Yellow Jacket infestation. He was polite, prompt and took care of the problem without trying to sell me on additional services. He is also a nice guy to boot. I highly recommend The Bee Hunter and will use him again in the future if I need his services.

Response from The Bee Hunter

Thank you very much for this review. I greatly appreciate it. That nest in your floor was fairly large and definitely needed to be hunted. I enjoyed talking with you as well; thanks for the conversation and the education. Regards, Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

Our house had a wasp nest right above the back door and I wasn't sure how bad it was. So I called the bee hunter and within the same day, he got back to me. After seeing some pictures of the nest (it was worse than I expected), he said he'd come by a couple of days later. He showed up and got the job done in less than an hour. I was impressed by how fast he worked, and I appreciated his professional demeanor and consideration for my family. I felt that the price was quite reasonable, considering the prompt response and thorough work. He also complimented my two cats :) If I am in the unfortunate position of having to deal with another large nest of...stinging insects of any type in the future, I'll save some time googling and just call the bee hunter again.

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mr. Lee,<br><br>Thank you so much for this review. I appreciate your taking the time to write it. That nest was a bad one and needed to go. I’m glad you called and would happily perform work for you again in the future. Be well and say “hello” to your cats. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

I discovered honey bees making a nest in a small gap on the 2nd floor of my home. Jim, The Bee Hunter was amazing! He responded quickly, even came out over the weekend, and had the bees completely gone within a day. On top of being professional and knowledgeable, Jim is a big dog lover — which meant a lot to me as a pet owner. He was patient and friendly with my pup the whole time. I highly recommend Jim for any bee-related service!

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mr. Erickson,<br>Thank you so much for this review. I’m glad I got it resolved for you. You were a pleasure to work for and your dog was a delight. Thank you. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

Jim, the Bee Hunter, was super responsive and professional. He kept us updated on his arrival time, quickly took care of the yellow jackets' nest, and now we can finally enjoy our backyard again after months of dealing with bees. Highly recommend!

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mrs. Okolnikova,<br>Thank you very much for this wonderful review. I’m happy to know that everything went well and that you can once again safely enjoy your yard. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

Jim was very responsive and managed to fit us in quickly despite being overbooked. He was professional, knowledgeable, and even took time to teach my curious kids about bees and his process. He promptly located a yellow jacket nest in our crawl space, exterminated it, and removed the nest. His pricing was very reasonable for the work involved, and I would highly recommend him!

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mrs. Smith,<br><br>Thank you so much for this review. That was a quite a nasty nest back in your crawl space; I’m glad I was able to access and remove it. Your kids were a delight. Please let me know if I can be of any further help. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

I called Jim the Bee Hunter after hearing a strange sound in the walls of my two sons’ bedroom. I looked out the window and to my surprise there were yellow jackets flying all around their 2nd story window. In a panic I quickly googled Bee removal services and skimmed reviews. I fully expected to have to call and leave messages to multiple companies and wait weeks before service but after leaving a brief message on Jim’s answering service, he called back MINUTES later and was at our house within 2 hours! I couldn’t believe it! He brought a thermal imaging device and quickly located the nest I had heard behind the wall. He and his partner safely treated the nest from the inside of our house by drilling tiny holes (much smaller than any bee) in the window frame and injecting a poison. After that, I did not hear anything in the walls again (thankfully!! I was terrified for my boys!) but after awhile I did see them still flying around outside and going into a space in the siding lower than what was treated. I called Jim back and he came out and found TWO more nests in separate areas of the house; one in the floor of my boys room, and one in the wall of my dining room! Jim did not charge me a dime extra for this return visit and treatment of 2 additional nests (they were in the same general area). I can tell Jim takes great pride in his work and is very concerned for his clients safety. I truly appreciate the PROMPTNESS, professionalism, expertise, and quality of Jim the Bee Hunter’s work. Thank you so much Jim! You’re amazing!

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mrs. Kozlowski,<br>Thank you so much for leaving this wonderful review. You had a serious problem and I’m glad I was able to get it resolved for you. It was a true pleasure to do work for such a wonderful customer and her family. Again, thank you. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

We called Jim on a Sunday evening and received a response quickly. We had a yellow jacket nest behind the soffit on our patio. He located it with a heat gun, it was almost the size of a soccer ball. It was in the area of our daughters room so we really didn’t want to mess around. He treated the area and we haven’t seen them in that area since. Within a week we discovered new activity in a different area (on the other side of the house above front door) which would have cost another trip and same amount of first bill and for budgeting reasons we just couldn’t justify having him come again. Other than the cost, he was very knowledgeable and prompt and professional, which is why I gave 4 stars.

Response from The Bee Hunter

Thank you for posting this review. That was a very large nest you had inside your home. I’m glad I was able to respond quickly to get it resolved for you. I’m still available if you decide to treat that nest on the other side of the house that’s unrelated to the one I’ve already treated. Just give me a call. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

I reached out to Jim the Bee Hunter as soon as I noticed yellow jackets flying into a hole under a bush by my front steps. We left a voice message and he responded within the hour, letting us know that he had a late day cancellation and would be able to come out in the evening to handle. Jim kept in touch, providing an ETA as he was finishing scheduled jobs prior to coming to our house. Jim was able to quickly assess and find the exact location the bees were flying in an out of, and was able to remediate the issue very quickly. We have used Jim on multiple occasions over the years, as have our friends and family members. Jim is professional, curious, and a clear communicator. I highly recommend Jim to anyone in need of his assistance.

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mr. Marculaitis,<br>Thank you very much for posting this review. Yellow jackets nesting so close to your front door are no joke, and those ones needed to be hunted. Thank you for your continued confidence in me and my services. Please don’t hesitate to call if you need anything else in the future. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

We noticed a buzzing sound coming from our master bathroom walls and ceiling so we went outside to investigate. To our surprise we witnessed hundreds of yellow jackets entering our home through the gaps in our siding! I was a nervous wreck! My husband immediately called the bee removal service that we used previously who then recommended that we call Jim, The Bee Hunter. Jim returned our call immediately and set up a time to come to our home. He kept us informed of his arrival time and was very polite, professional and knowledgeable. He removed a basketball sized yellow jacket's nest from our bathroom ceiling! Thank goodness for Jim! We HIGHLY recommend Jim, The Bee Hunter and we will definitely call him again if we have any other bee, hornet or wasp issues.

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mrs. Hecht,<br><br>Thanks for this review. The nest in your bathroom ceiling was massive! Thank you for trusting me to remove it for you. It was most definitely a problem that needs to be fixed. I’d be to work for you again. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

Great service! Jim quickly removed this large hornet nest in our bushes and sprayed so they won’t come back.

Response from The Bee Hunter

Ms. Claves,<br>Thanks for this review. That hornet nest was both large and aggressive; it would have only gotten worse. Thank you for the work. Please let me know if you need anything else. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

Jim was awesome! We had some yellow jackets in a 3rd floor window ledge. I had tried to solve this issue myself for several days with no success. Jim made it look easy and was extremely professional and flexible on payment. I highly recommend Jim if you have any type of bees, wasps, yellow jackets etc situation you cannot handle yourself. Thank you again Jim 💪🏼🇺🇲

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mr. Campbell,<br>Thank you for this review. Those yellow jackets were right in the window frame. You were a pleasure to work for. Please let me know if you need any help going forward. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

The Bee Hunter is your guy! I heard something in my ceiling, later saw bees entering my house at that spot outside. After waiting a day for another company to call me back, I called The Bee Hunter. He called me back within minutes, set an ETA, and arrived at my house shortly thereafter. They were thorough, clean, professional and answered all of my questions. I never thought I’d need a bee guy, however, I will continue to use Jim for any future needs and recommend them to all of my family and friends.

Response from The Bee Hunter

Cally,<br>Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and kind words. I was glad to be able to respond as quickly as I did and get the issue resolved for you promptly. Please call if you need any help in the future. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

I noticed a bunch of ground wasps burrowing into the ground on the side of our home. I had called around to a few places and Jim mentioned he could be there the next day. Needless to say, Jim came the next evening and was able to remove/destroy the nest. He was very quick and responsive to our need and would highly recommend him for any bee removal.

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mr. Stoner,<br>Thank you for taking time to post this review; I appreciate that. Yellow jackets in the ground are no joke and can be quite aggressive. Please let me know if any future bees need to be hunted. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

called this morning and he came before noon. Need had bored into my daughters bedroom ceiling and you could hear them buzzing. He located the nest quickly and hopefully this will get rid of them. Thank you for the prompt service. And my husband said your son was great too!!

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mrs. Sayles,<br>Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review. Yellow jackets in a bedroom are nothing to take lightly. I’ll be sure to tell my helper that your husband spoke highly of him. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

I called Jim as I had a few suspected areas of yellow jackets that I wanted addressed. His team was able to respond the same-day, and he identified 3 areas that warranted treatment. He was able to address all of this issues during that same service call. His team was very professional, respectful of the house, and kept me abreast on the work taking place. I could not ask for a better experience. I would highly recommend Jim!

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mr. Lucas,<br>Thank you for this review. I appreciate you taking the time to post it. You certainly had a bad problem with three separate nests. I’m glad we were able to get it resolved for you as quickly as we did. Please don’t hesitate to call on me in the future. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

Jim was incredibly responsive (calling me back within 20 minutes after leaving a message) and came to our home the next day, quickly removing a large hornet nest in our yard. He’s professional and incredibly knowledgeable! His employee Kevin was just as professional and helpful. Would definitely recommend the Bee Hunter!

Response from The Bee Hunter

Mr. L,<br>Thank you for this review. I am always thankful for such wonderful repeat customers as you and your wife. The nest you discovered in those shrubs was exceptionally aggressive. They needed to be hunted! Please give your little pooch a belly-rub for me. Jim the Bee Hunter 🐝

Prompt and professional! Quick response time with a quote and fully explained the work once onsite. Very courteous! Took care of a ground nest in less than 24 hours after contacting him. If I have another issue, I will contact The Bee Hunter again.

Wouldn't even give a 1 star. Called to get a nest removed that is inside our house and they refused to come out.

Response from The Bee Hunter

Please note that this review is not based on services performed but rather on a single phone call requesting service. This woman called to tell me that another exterminator had killed a yellow jackets nest, was unable or unwilling to remove it, and she wanted me to come in and finish the job. I explained fully to her that coming into a job midway throughthat someone else has started is something I do not do and for good reasons. I don’t know what methods or materials the other company used or how they would interfere with my methods and materials. I’ve learned from experience, that doing follow-up work in a situation like this can create more problems than it solves.

Don't understand he said I didn't need his service because he thought I had no bee's even though I see a nest but nothing in it was old and I hear loud noises???

Response from The Bee Hunter

The Bee Hunter did not provide any services for this reviewer; the only interaction with this person did not go beyond a single phone call in which, as she herself states in this review (and on the phone call), there were no bees in the nest she was describing. If she had described the nest as having bees, I would have gladly provided the requested services. <br><br>From Jim Abraham, The Bee Hunter: I am always very conscientious to provide customers (and potential customers) with an accurate and truthful assessment of their unique situation. Such was the case here. Based on what this caller told me, and my decades of experience, I did not believe she had a bee problem - let alone one that requires professional attention and the cost that would accompany that attention. Nearly every one of my potential customers are thankful for my honesty when I tell them they don’t need to hire me to perform unnecessary work. While that was not the case here, I will continue to be forthright and upfront with anyone seeking my services.

Spoke with Jim (owner) today to explore options to hire a professional to come treat my house. His repport over the phone was rude, short, and presumptuous. It seemed like it was more of a bother to him then actually offering services to a potential customer. I did get a quote from him after eventually discussing what my issues were and he assumed I needed time to think about it and rushed me off the phone. My one conversation with him does not make want to continue to explore services with him. I would not recommend The Bee Hunter for services.

Response from The Bee Hunter

I make a concerted and conscientious effort to treat all of my customers (potential as well as current) with courtesy and respect. My conversation with this woman was no exception. I’m unclear as to how she could’ve interpreted it as she did. Then again, I’m equally unclear as to what would possess anyone to leave a 1-star review based on nothing more than a phone call. Please have a look at the dozens of other reviews here from customers for whom I’ve actually performed work. They are, almost without exception, overwhelmingly positive. It is these far more numerous reviews that provide a window into how I operate, the level of service I provide, and what you can expect for yourself should you choose to hire The Bee Hunter.

Just sent a text "I can't help you". No explanation or anything.

Response from The Bee Hunter

This woman contacted me concerning a service that I do not perform. My work is limited to bees, hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets. So that she could make other arrangements to address her situation, I immediately replied to her voicemail via text saying, “I’m sorry, but I do not perform this type of service.” Not sure what else could’ve been expected.
