I contacted Marco about his service to remove a bee hive that was residing in one of our green irrigation valve boxes. He was available that afternoon and he came at the time he communicated to me. The bee hive was removed including the queen and the boxes sealed. The bees are now in a new location, an avocado orchard. 90% of the bees were gone that day and the 10% left (they were likely out gathering nector at the time) found new hives off the property. Marco was efficient, left the area clean, and priced right! Thanks Marco (I have sense found out that it is quit common for bees to habitat irrigation boxes so we'll likely see Marco again as we have a number of irrigation boxes. read more

Marco responded quickly and got to our property on schedule. Super friendly, he even sent us some videos of the hive and the Queen for my son to view while he worked.

Yesterday a swarm of bees moved into our house through a second story gap in the soffit. Called several companies both of which are old established and highly rated on Yelp. Both said to leave the colony for 3 or 4 days and wait to see if they leave on their own. They said if they don't leave on their own then they will come out and extract the colony by cutting into the roof to remove the colony and the queen. The third company was Black Ops and Marco. We found them through the SHES. When I called him he thought since the colony had just moved in less than 24 hours previously that they could be prodded out with a strong mixture of vinegar and another chemical which is not toxic to the bees but they don't like the smell. He said he was so confident that it would work that he would come out and try it and if it did not work and he did not get the queen to come out and capture her then he would not charge anything. While the more experienced companies said it was a waste of time (I called them back to see what they thought about Marco's idea), in fact one said he would bet $100 it would not work. But I figured nothing ventured nothing gained. So I decided to let Marco try to coax the queen out and see what happens. Thankfully his strategy worked and the colony came out along with the queen. His price was $200 which given the alternatives from the two other companies which was $750 or more according to them plus if they ended up going through an exterior wall the stucco repair would have been another thousand or more, so we were really happy. Marco is very personable and easy to talk to, he came over the same day we called him and really could not have had a better experience. He loves the bees and I know they will be in good hands and out in the community pollinating throughout the upcoming spring months. Thank you Marco for solving our problem so quickly and efficiently. read more

Marco is our hero! OMG! A colony of bees were in our attic and he was able to come out in a timely manner and relocate the bees! He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, genuine, and most importantly, honest! I hope never to have a bee problem again but if I do, I'll know who to call! Thank you so much!! read more

I have been having bee issues for awhile they were very polite responsive and easy to work with!

These people from Black Ops are fantastic. Efficient, courteous, friendly, professional, and knew exactly how to safely remove bees in this situation. They also know construction, they cut a whole in the floor of my shed, filled the gap/space under the shed where the bees were, and repaired the floor. They took time to explain what they were going to do and why. Saved the bees to make honey and pollinate crops, outstanding! read more
