Hornet Removal In Waterford

Posted by richard luther in General

Yesterday I received a call from a a lady who had a nest of Hornets in a pear tree. She asked me how to get rid of these unwelcome guests on her property, “I think we are going to spray them at night”. Hornet nest are made so they can handle the weather and rain. It can also keep out the spray and if you do this at night you will most likely have some one holding a light for you so you can see where the entrance is. You will get allot of the bees but the ones you don’t get are going to come straight to the light, I wouldn’t want to be the one holding the light.

I removed the nest with all the bees inside which totally removes the problem. I do this with the bees still alive which is not the easiest task to accomplish but it can be done with care and a little luck.

This was a pretty huge nest and will make a very nice display item when I get it completed.

Cost of Hornet removal is based on the location of the nest and the danger involved in the job.

Another successful bee removal!

Yellow Jacket Removal Ligonier, PA

Posted by richard luther in Yellow Jacket Extraction

There was a large yellow jacket nest built into the garage rafters of a home in Waterford, just outside of Ligonier Valley, PA. The yellow jackets nested in the corner of the garage with the ceiling being pretty low to the ground. The family patio was directly adjacent to the garage, so the sitting area was within five feet of the nest. It was clearly a hazard to anyone on the patio.

We went in at dusk when most of the bees were inactive. A little smoke from the smoker made even most of the workers retreat into the nest. After we were sure all the yellow jackets were in the nest that we could get in there, I douced it with chemicals and cut the nest from the rafters.

All and all it was a good night. We got through the whole job with only two stings.
