DAVE IS THE ONLY MAN YOU SHOULD HIRE After calling 4 other businesses, Dave was the only person I was able to actually speak with. He extended his work day to come take a look at my bee problem around 6pm and I was so grateful. By 7:30pm last night, the bees were gone. After working another job, he came by today and took only 2 hours to get into the roof and remove the hive. Dave is kind, knowledgeable, and communicates very well. He told me exactly what to expect and delivered beautifully. No more bees and my family and I couldn't be happier! read more

D-Tek Live Bee Removal - 2-3 week old hive - Pest Control Near Me - Vista, California

Dave at D-TEk did a great job in removing two highly developed beehives that were under an old shed. He is responsive and thorough and his pricing is reasonable. D-Tek should be your choice if you need gentle bee removal! read more

Unfortunate circumstance, but wonderful clean-up experience! About 2,000 bees moved into an exhaust vent in the side of our house, the next day we called D-Tek and other companies for pricing. David responded in under 20 minutes to my voicemail. He asked me questions to assess the situation and helped to explain how he could resolve the issue without any damage to our house or the bees! We chose David because of his experience, knowledge, quick service, fair pricing, and many other positive reviews. He was at our home in an hour, vacuumed the bees out, sealed the vent and was done in 2 hours. Hopefully I won't need his services again, but if I do, I'd definitely call him! read more

We had a beehive under the floor of our shed, and we are about to demolish that shed as part of a backyard remodel, and the time had come to deal with the bees. We'd noticed them a few months prior but just ignored it. I knew that I would only want to use a company that offered live bee removal...we need bees! Just not so many right in my yard. I messaged another company through Yelp, and called Dave at 8:30am last Wednesday. He texted me back within 5 minutes that he would call me in about 30 minutes. He called me at 9am, and came over at 10am to survey the situation! He had a look in the shed and used his handy thermograph meter thing and figured out about how large the hive was. Gave me a quote right then on the spot, and said he could come the very next morning to do the job! HIRED!!! All that, before the other company even messaged me back. I work in home improvement sales so I understand the value of being quick and efficient. The early bird gets the worm...in this case the early bid gets the bees! Dave was so prompt and efficient, I really appreciated that as I am a very busy person. Dave came over, removed the beehive in about 2 hours and left me with my receipt which covers one more visit if the bees come back, he recommended we demo the shed within a month or the bees might come back, we are having that started tomorrow so we should be safe. I would highly recommend Dave at D-Tek for any bee removal needs. I have already referred him to my friend who is a property inspector and comes across beehives at inspections...I don't refer people unless they are awesome...Dave is awesome! read more

We heard a noise coming from our attic, and noticed we had a swarm of bees in one area. I immediately searched for a bee removal company since I am terrified of bees and got stung by one in the past. I came across this company and decided to give them a try. Dave came to our house on time, prepared with all his equipment, and eager to help with the issue. I had a few questions prior to the start. Dave set my mind at ease, was patient with all the questions I had. Dave told me the bees get inside the attic and build on the underside of the plywood for the roof. He got on the roof, pulled up a section of the roof tiles, made a cut, pulled up the section of plywood he cut which will have the beehive attached to it. All this was done live which was cool to see from a distance. After he removes all the beehive, he repairs the roof. He guaranteed the roof wouldn't leak, which it hasn't. It's almost been a week and things are like normal again. To assure the bee's can't get back inside he bee proofed all the entry way's/exit points. I am very pleased with the overall job. I would recommend this company to anyone. read more

We use D-Tek every time we have a Bee or Wasp situation and Dave is always so nice and is able to schedule right away! We highly recommend this company! One call and it is handled. read more

Dave is such a professional in his field - he is knowledgable and answered all of our questions. He provided a great service. He came the same day that I called and was extremely reasonably priced!! read more

Had the misfortune of hosting a colony of bees in my chimney. I called our exterminator who informed me that bee removal was not there specialty. They referred me to David Reed, owner/operator of D-Tek bee removal. Before calling him I tried smoking them out by lighting a fire and I tried dented candles that were recommended on Google. None of those things worked. I learned that bee removal by a professional is the best solution. David came by and gave me a free assessment and quote. The next day he came by at 7am and within one hour he had the bees locked up and ready to transport to a local bee keeper. Apparently the rumor that bees are having survival problems is a myth or fake news tied to subsidies. I don't know but now a days I'd believe it. Very satisfied with David and his professionalism. read more

We had some bees that were trying to move in an area outside in our condo complex. Dave came on site, quickly determined they were scout bees and they hadn't quite moved in yet. He gave me his expert opinion and a few options. I chose to bee-proof the area and rub some deet on the area to stop them from coming back. Two days later, we are bee free! It's a well-spent $180! I'll give Dave a call if the bees decide to come back over. read more

Service was excellent. Removed the bees no problem & no return of any bees This should be the only choice you should make read more

Dave was responsive, quick and efficient. Pretty friendly guy, too. Seemed pretty knowledgeable about construction based on the conversations. He caulked and sealed the areas where the bees were able to get in. May need more time to tell how things are holding up, but so far, so good. I never got quotes from anyone else, but I believe his pricing was reasonable. Would recommend him to my friends and would give him my business if another issue arose. read more

Best contractor in 25 years of homeownership. Super-friendly, on-time, on-budget, knowledgeable, efficient. You won't be "bee" disappointed read more

We had a bee issue, about 20-25 feet up on our roof! Dave was professional and extremely personable. He was responsive and quickly came out to look at our bees. Price was reasonable and lower than many, ANOTHER company was going to charge us DOUBLE for the same job. We're so lucky we decided to go with this business after receiving various quotes. He was fast efficient, real, down to earth and very knowledgeable! 100% recommend to anyone. read more

D-Tek Live Bee Removal - Bee hive - Pest Control Near Me - Vista, California

I was referred to Dave by Joshua's Pest control because they do not offer bee removal service. My wife noticed some bees going in and out of weep holes under our second story eaves. I called Dave in the morning and he came out that same afternoon. He arrived on time and discussed the situation for almost 30 minutes, was not concerned about the apparent "scouting activity" and recommended a wait and see approach. 3 days later, activity remained the same and Dave returned that afternoon to treat the problem which included chasing the bees out, applying 1/8 inch cloth over the weep holes and surrounding weep holes in the area. He also applied caulk to small gaps in the eaves. Dave is very experienced, reliable and does clean, high quality work. I felt his pricing was extremely fair and I elected to pay him more than he requested in appreciation for him making two trips and the time he spent on our property. If we have any future bee related issues, we'll be sure to contact Dave again and would not hesitate recommending him to others. read more

Dave was very courtesy and professional. He was able to remove bees from our pepper tree the day after my call. He also blocked several entry points to the trunk of the tree. I would definitely recommend D-Tek Live Bee Removal. read more

Honest. Responsive. Great Service. Called Dave for a bee problem we noticed at our place and he came out the next day and provided a "FREE ESTIMATE". He set us up with an appointment to come back for the actual service call to deal with the situation, kept in communication with us and confirmed the appointment. When he showed back up though our little buzzing friends were mostly gone and those remaining were dead and in the process of being on their way out due to some sort of pesticide or poison they brought back to our house with them. Dave was in honest in advising us as to what happened and not providing any service that we simply did not need. If they return - we know who to call. Highly suggest D-Tek if you have a bee problem. read more

Can't say enough good things about Dave at D-Tek Live Bee Removal. It's so refreshing to engage with such a friendly, efficient, and highly responsive professional as Dave. I highly recommend him and have already let our neighbors know about him if they ever need. Thanks again for everything! read more

Dave was so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! Took a lot of time to explain options and helped me to understand what was going on with the bees in my house. Highly recommend. read more

There was a 3 foot long beehive embedded in the corner of our roof. I called D-Tek on a Wednesday and left a message. Dave called me back within 5 minutes and asked me several questions to properly diagnose the problem. Since the bees were around for more than 3 days he explained the situation and informed me that they had already settled in and started a hive. I appreciate the level of detailed information he provided. An appointment with as scheduled for upcoming Friday. Dave messaged me the day before to confirm the 7am appointment. He arrived on time, immediately started the job and finished ahead of schedule. Overall he was very responsive, honest, professional and punctual. I highly recommend D-Tek! read more

We had a large swarm of bees in front of our home and we called D-Tek and he arrived on time, removed the bees humanely and was the consummate professional in every manner. Highly recommend DAVID and D-Tek Live Bee Removal. read more

Dave is a genuinely good guy. I spent 11 years in law enforcement. Trust me. I can spot shady types very quickly and unfortunately that's about 75% of the home repair/construction contractors I've had to my house. Dave could have easily upsold the job and ripped out my drywall to remove the combs because that was what I thought needed to be done before he even got here. Instead, he was sure he could get the bees out from the exterior and seal up my chimney flashing to prevent further infestation. The chimney sealing he did was better than I would have done. I'm not stoked I had to deal with these bees but paying Dave to do the work was money well spent. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends and family. read more

Dave is amazing. Came out immediately to remove bees in our attic above our kids room. As a paranoid parent, I am very happy I contacted Dave. He was extremely accommodating and professional. read more

I got 3 different bee removal companies to give me a quote yesterday. I picked this company over the others because: 1. Had 2 guys instead of just 1. 2. very polite . 3.they had a thermal sensor camera and showed me exactly where the bees have invaded and what the job entailed. 4. Gave me a fully detailed description of job and guarantee. 5. I asked for photos--no problem. I asked them several questions-answered me. 6. Asked when can they do the job and they said now. They came prepared. 7. Live bee removal. Bees are important for our environment and ecology. Most important: Asked them since they have to tear into roof, make sure after Bee removal, roof after is exactly as the before. They took photos before and after and they did what they promised. Highly recommend them to everyone! read more

Dave did a great job. He really cares about his work and does a great job. Highly recommend him!

Helping a friend of my wife get a rental property that's been sitting empty for 5 years one of the things that needed to be done was 2 massive beehives. We didn't want to kill the bees so we found D-Tech and after getting a few estimates Dave came through and seemed not only the best knowledgeable but the best price as well. He removed two massive beehives.. I will post the pictures. Very friendly quick and efficient. Thank you D-Tech ! Highly recommended ! read more

Soon after I wrote my review we were contacted by Dave. He explained the reason he didn't contact us was that he was no longer operating in Las Vegas, and was trying to find a replacement company who would honour the contract for us. I appreciate his honesty and just wish he told us that sooner or was more transparent about the difficulty. We would have been understanding rather than frustrated through the process. Since he's been unable to find a company to help us, he offered to refund our original service to help us cover the cost of finding a new live bee removal service. I'm revising my original review to consider the quality of the initial work, for his interest and effort in making sure we were happy with our experience, and because there are so few decent companies out there that do live honeybee removal. read more

Definitely would hire him again and suggest you call him immediately If you have a any problem and want to save the bees. Additionally, his price was extremely reasonable. Found Dave through the Internet. I was looking for a professional who would save the bees and remove them from my owl box installed on a tree. Dave was extremely punctual and professional. I cannot say enough good words and recommendations about him. He's a keeper!!!!! read more

Dave was quick to come in and out and remove the bees out of our hillside brush within 48 hours of inquiring about his service. He even removed and disposed of the tire they had took refuge in. He was also nice enough to leave a couple pieces of the comb per the kids request to take to show and tell, and provided us with up close pictures of his discovery. We will definitely call Dave again should we acquire anymore unwanted residents. Thanks Dave! read more

Fantastic service! Very respectful on property. I recommend D-Tek to everyone who needs help removing bees. Our have not returned and it's been months! Thank you! read more

Clint and his team was great to meet and work with. They came to my home within 20 minutes of my contacting them and addressed my bee problem. They removed the bees from my attic in less than an hour. I had a few bees left that were coming into the house and they responded quickly when I called. The bees are completely gone now and my life is at ease again. Thank you very much for professionalism and your calm and patient attitude. I will (have) referred them to others. Regina read more

Thanks for the second time Dave. There is no one else I would call when the little bees take up residence in my backyard. I am so grateful to know you. Thanks a million. read more

Dave was awesome!! He fixed our bee problem and did amazing quality work!! Our bees were in the roof. He fixed our roof after removing them and made sure to seal it so they don't come back!! The roof was waterproofed to make sure we didn't have any other problems and he guaranteed all his work!! His price was half of what everyone else wanted to charge us! I couldn't ask for more!! read more

We had a giant beehive in our pool water feature. We called Dave at D-Tek who came out and assessed the situation, suited up and evacuated the bees while trying to save as many as possible. An hour later we were at peace again. Thanks, Dave. By the way, he also installs holiday lighting. read more

Dave is a true professional. He came to our house right away, and dealt with a hive in our bbq. I will not hesitate to recommend him to other homeowners and businesses. read more

Dave, the Bee Guy, was responsive and professional. He removed the hive and was on his way in an hour. Couldn't be more pleased. Thanks, Dave! read more

We thought we just had a bee's nest. Turns out we had SIX wasp nests we were unaware of. They came during a busy schedule and got up at 5 am to be at our house to make sure our situation was taken care of in a timely manner. They communicate well and clearly care about what they do. We highly recommend them. read more

I don't know if these guys are still in business. It doesn't seem like it because they don't answer their phone. But they really screwed me out of a bunch of money on their last visit. This was two years ago when I had them remove a beehive. I had them install screens over the attic vents so that they wouldn't come back. I paid for the service but realized much later that they had never done it. Avoid these guys at all costs. read more

We had a cluster of bees on an awning above the walkway to our front door. Dave was out the same day to re-home the bees. Additionally, he moved our trash cans back that we had used as a barrier to stop people from walking up and cleaned up the cardboard signs we had left to warn people of the bees. Whats more is he charged us less than he had quoted because there were less bees than he had thought. Great guys and great service! read more

Went to check on the breaker box today only to discover a decent number of bees hanging out on our trash cans. Now, we have had a hive built before so I wasn't going to waste time. Dave came out within an hour of our phone call to access the situation. He was very knowledgeable in the behavior the bees were showing. Turns out, the bees we likely scouting and found our trash cans to be very desirable. Dave vacuumed the scouts and helped me move the trash cans to, hopefully, deter them. He was very professional and knowledgeable. We will definitely be calling him if they come back!! read more

We had an active hive in an accessible tree for about three months. It was bigger than a basketball. I had a very unfortunate experience with another company elsewhere,that was supposed to save the Bees, but poisoned them instead. After spending a day on the phone researching, I found out that it is illegal to kill Bees in CA. That does not stop the companies from doing so, as they have ways of getting around the law and doing what is easiest for themselves. Luckily I found DAVE! He understands Bee behavior. Vacuums out the Bees for safe relocation, and is reasonable in price. Believe me! DAVE IS THE MAN FOR THE JOB. Bees are declining and endangered. They need to be safely re-located. Call DAVE! Don't get stung! read more
