Dan The Bee Man...IS YOUR MAN! We had a yellow jacket nest that had taken up residency in our kitchen wall. They were entering into the kitchen somehow. We called our usual pest company and they came and sprayed the nest - during the middle of the day. That night I got stung. It was not pleasant. We ended up with our kitchen being off limits for almost 10 days because they KEPT COMING INTO THE HOUSE! After repeated calls to the pest guys (who kept reassuring us that the spray takes time), we finally called Dan! Dan came to first give us an initial consult 5 days into our ordeal. He wasn't convinced that our problem was taken care of then, but we were all in agreement to give it a few more days. Well the few more days didn't help. And here we are...today. We called Dan back and he came with no hesitation and had an action plan already in mind! He made his first cut behind the dishwasher-because we had seen the yellow jackets flying into the house from the sides. Upon moving the dishwasher, he was greeted with about 100 dead yellow jackets. Unfortunately the nest was not there. He then examined outside where we had seen them coming in. He then made a second cut inside through our lath and plaster (about the size of a softball-maybe a bit bigger) and FOUND THE NEST. The spray had only partially damaged it and it was 'still alive and very active' and was about the size of a large honeydew. Dan removed it quickly and patched up all the holes. Dan also gave us recommendations on how to fix it going forward. He also patched up the hole outside with steel wool to prevent any more yellow jackets from coming inside! Dan gave me my life back! I am no longer terrified to go in my kitchen! Thank you Dan The Bee Man! read more

I haven't hired Dan BUT I had a bee infestation issue a while back for a property I manage and he was EXTREMELY helpful over the phone. Spoke to me in great detail about my options and just general info on how to handle the situation, was honest with the fact that his services wouldn't be necessary for my situation and didn't try to sell me. I truly appreciate him taking the 15ish minutes to patiently speak with me. I am positive he would offer excellent service and he was so genuine! read more

I wasn't able to use Dan's services as it turned out I was outside their area, but they very kindly asked me to send photos of the wasp nest and activity in my compost bin and advised me on what I could do. I really appreciated that they would do that for someone who wasn't their customer. read more

I had two nests on my property - 1 with bald-faced hornets and the other with aerial yellowjackets. I also have two honey bee hives on my property, which can be threatened by both of these stinging insects. I didn't want to use any poison to remove the nests and sent Dan an email (his preferred method of contact). Although he had been booking out a week AND I was outside of his normal service area, Dan made the extra effort to come out and take care of the nests on short notice. He's a super-nice guy who has deep knowledge regarding the pests he is removing. He's professional, on-time, efficient and has a genuine interest in serving people and doing what's best for the environment. For my trip, he was capturing and sending (at extra time and expense to him) the bald-faced hornets to a lab to have their venom extracted to be used to make immunotherapy treatments for people with severe sting allergies. Impressive. I also really enjoyed that Dan is a beekeeper with many hives and many years of experience. I enjoyed talking to Dan as he did his work about both his experiences as a beekeeper (with much more experience that me) and mine. He certainly has quite a bit of knowledge. To sum it up, I cannot recommend Dan more highly to come out and humanely, and without poison, remove stinging insects that have decided to make their home somewhere that is dangerous to you and/or your visitors. read more

We had yellow jacket problem at our ally , I started to panic. I have never been stung by a bee or wasp or hornet mainly because I am so careful around them. I watched a lot of national geographic as a hobby so I figured it was a nest on the ground since it was more than 10 yellow jacket flying in and out. They are pretty amazing creatures, I just don't want them living with me. Because the area is really close to our ally we need to remove. So i did my googling, first found another company who sprayed chemicals. They were going to charge almost 300 plus miles etc without removing the nest. Then I did more googling and youtube watching on how to remove yellow jacket hive or how not to remove lol. We decided that We didn't want poison nor accidents like the poor youtube posters, so I yelped around again and found Dan. My Friends offered to remove it for me for free, but if they fail and anger the wasps... it becomes my liability and insurance claim. I rather hire someone to remove it properly and get the Queen. Dan's rate is reasonable and he replied my email very quickly. He offered an appointment in two days. Dan came on time, no issue and was really polite. I quickly showed him where I thought the nest was and asked him if there is any more around the ally. Since they are territorial there wouldn't be any at the ally but I also suspected we had something under neath our roof line since it is the modern type and there is a gap. I keep seeing bee looking type of bugs flying in and out, I thought they were bees but asked Dan to check them out. Dan looked at it and took some photo and found out there was another nest not a bee nest but yellow jacket a different type sigh. Yes another nest right next to my roof deck sofa. My little pup always goes under , we are so lucky nothing happened to him or me. I could have endangered my friends over a BBQ because it was right next to our out door lounge sofa area. Dan quickly explained it was the size of an apple thank god I found it early. He removed both at the price of one without charging us extra. He also explained how we should set traps out next year to catch the queen etc. Dan finished removing two nest in an hr. over all he is really great and I highly recommend him. hopefully I never have to call him any time soon. If I have wasp problems again, I will call him. Now the wasps are removed I will wait for two days before I go up on my deck to garden LOL. Also dan offered to come back if the wasp still comes back more than 10. We referred him to our neighbors, will use again for sure. read more

See all

Dan was extremely quick to call us back and schedule a time to come out. He safely removed the yellow jackets we had coming in and out of our crawl space from the outside vents. Turned out the nest was about the size of a basketball, which surprised him based on the traffic from the outside. What my husband appreciated the most was that he didn't use any chemicals and set them free responsibly away from our area. Using a vacuum and a cranberry juice container he safely removed their home and guests. He estimated about 1500 Yellow Jackets between the nest and crawl space. will not hesitate to call him back, especially if our hornets nest falls while still occupied :) Thanks Dan! read more

Love Dan the Bee Man! Had him out yesterday for another yellowjacket ground nest. Arrived on time. Took care of it in about an hour. Easy Squeezy! read more

Dan and Karin were very responsive. They scheduled us for an appointment just a day after we contacted them. Dan arrived and gave us a detailed explanation of the type of wasp we had and its general behavior. He then offered us a couple of options based on the specific wasp problem we had. He also gave us great tips on how to avoid getting nests next year. We ended up choosing to have the wasps removed even though it wasn't much of a threat. Dan was quick and thorough. High recommendation! read more

I'm very happy with the service Dan the bee man provided for us. We had a yellow jackets best at our house. I emailed and got scheduled for the next day. When Dan arrived at was a pleasure to talk to him and he provided lots of options to deal with the yellow jackets. He listened to my input and when we had agreed on our option he got to work. An hour later he was done, yellow jackets gone and I could hardly see where he had worked on the house. I would recommend Dan to my friends. read more

If you're having bee problems (or in our case, yellow jacket problems), Dan is your guy! We had a yellow jacket nest in our wall. Dan assessed the best way to get at it and was able go in through a small hole in our siding behind a light fixture and remove the nest. Over the next few weeks, we were still noticing some yellow jacket activity despite the nest removal - it seems we won the award for most persistent yellow jackets. Dan came back no less than 4 times to make sure the problem was taken care of at no extra charge, and at one point offered a refund of his initial fee since he had to come back so many times. We were just happy to have them finally gone, but it was a nice, honest gesture. read more

Dan came over, identified that I had common Yellowjackets nesting in the beam of my front porch. He was able to cut away part of the porch roof remove the entire hive and the yellow jackets, and replace the porch pieces leaving it completely intact. This was all done in about an hour! Could not be more impressed or happy with his service and communication. Highly recommend! read more

Dan The Bee Man - Pest Control Near Me

I first hired Dan last year because yellow jackets were nesting inside a wall and getting into the house, and I wanted a company that could remove the nest without using poison. But because I live in a very old Craftsman, the architecture apparently makes for a lot of nesting places that are hard to find, and after inspecting where the nest was from the outside (he also spotted two other nests that I hadn't seen), he said it would be really expensive if he broke into the walls from the inside to find and remove the nest. Since it was late in the season, he suggested I wait them out because they'd be gone in a month or so, and he taped over the spot in my dining room where it appeared they were getting into the house. He offered to send me the names of some companies that could remove them with poison if they were still getting into the living space. I was really impressed that he gave me options that would save me money and solve the problem, even though it meant he lost out on a job. Fast forward to this year, and I spot a hole in the ground next to my back stairs where yellow jackets are flying in and out. I sent him an email on Sunday night and Karin, the BEEsness Operations Manager, replied to me overnight saying Dan could make time to come out Monday evening. She gave me an appointment window of 6:00 to 8:00; he arrived shortly after 6:00 and the nest was gone by 7:00. He also inspected around the house for other nests and didn't find anything, which is a huge relief. Both Karin and Dan are unfailingly efficient and friendly. They do great work and are really knowledgeable and honest. I would definitely hire them again. Highly recommended. read more

Called Dan about a wasps' nest on my property and even though I was outside of his service area, he and Karin (the "BEEsness Operations Manager") offered to look at some photos and video I took and provided me with helpful advice on what I should do. Turns out I may not need to hire anyone. These two provide customer service that's as good as it gets. Commendable. (Meanwhile, five of the other six companies I contacted four days ago haven't returned my calls or emails.) read more

Knowledgeable, friendly, and prompt. I highly recommend using Dan for your bee problems. He got back to me right away, arrived promptly at our agreed time, then quickly located and removed the troublesome yellow jacket nest from my yard . As a added bonus I learned a ton about bees and yellow jackets from him; getting a few tips about how to avoid more nests in the future. Would not hesitate to use him again! read more

4 emails, and Dan the Bee Man was out within a couple of days to look at the bee's nest my neighbor had pointed out a couple of times. It turned out to be yellow jackets, which are near the end of their season and will die off in a couple of weeks. He used a thermal camera to show us exactly where in the wall they were (which was super cool). He's quite knowledgeable, and told me that his course of action would be to wait them out, unless we started to hear knocking or munching noises (which would indicate they were about to bust through the wall and probably needed to be removed.) I thought it was very pleasant talking to him, he answered all of my questions, I feel like I learned a lot, and I really appreciate what turned out to be a free consultation. I know if I ever have a similar problem (perhaps more serious?) that I'll call him to come out and take care of it for me. He even offered to let me give my neighbor his contact info and he could assuage her fears if needed. What a nice guy! read more

Not only did Dan humanely relocate a bumble bee hive that had started in our compost bin, he provided me with enough fascinating information that I feel like an expert now. A few days later I thought we had another group of bumbles setting up shop in the bin and Dan offered to come out for free to clean them up as well. Turns out they were probably just workers that were out of the hive when the queen and nest were moved (so sad!). But I appreciated his offer. Knowledgeable, friendly, fast, and patient. As others have said before me, I hope I don't require services like this in the future but, if I do, I'm calling Dan. read more

Done and dusted in under an hour!?! After watching too many yellow jackets hang out in the eaves above my door last summer and deciding to wait them out, I was dismayed to see wasps again this year so close to an area frequented by people and pets. The DIY chemical sprays that I investigated had a lot of warnings that seemed problematic; and the wasps seemed particularly vigilant this year. I wasnt up for challenging the flying stinging critters myself. Enter Dan the Bee Man! I emailed on Sunday and got an email back from his team within hours for an appointment Tuesday evening. Super convenient. The email detailed the removal technique and pricing and even warned me that an access hole might need to be cut. Dan arrived on time. Within minutes he assessed the situation. Fortunately it was not very complicated - and with none of the worst case hole-cutting needed. The nest was small, new residents were paper wasps rather than yellow jackets and they don't tend to build nests that would go behind siding and inside of walls. (Who knew?!.... other than Dan, that is.) 30 minutes later, thanks to his efficiency and removal gear, the nest was gone, the nest occupants were gone and I had some good/easy tips that might help block a third group of buzzers. When it was done, he told me to call him if I spotted any evicted occupants who may have been out and about during the removal still hanging around at the weekend. All this and nobody got stung! I appreciated the up front pricing, information flow and responsiveness. Nothing is better than a professional who knows his business and is willing to take the time educate you. I would absolutely recommend Dan's services. In retrospect, I should have made the call a year ago! read more

If bees have buzzzzzzkilled your party- you need to call Dan! I have an unused patio that I discovered was quite busy with bees, so I emailed Dan and he was able to come out the very next day. He was super accommodating to my schedule, which was nice. He immediately identified the little buggers as yellow jackets, quickly explained his process, and got to work. I'm allergic and have an actual phobia of bees/wasps. I though it was very sensitive of him to spare me the scary details. About a week later, the leftover yellow jackets were still hanging around, so I asked Dan about it and he said he would come back out to check it out. He returned, suited up, and removed the rest of the bees- no additional charge! Dan, you are the real deal and I don't know how you do such a scary job, but I'm sure glad that you do it. I sincerely hope that I never have bee issues again, but if I do, you'll be the first person I call! ^.^ read more

Daniel was fast and thorough, sucked up the yellow jacket nest in one visit and made it look easy! And the price is so much better than the guys with poison who want to lock you into a year contract. Highly recommend Daniel! read more

Service like this is rare these days. His non-chemical approach, his responsiveness, his willingness to go the extra mile, his clear understanding of the ecology of these critters... just top notch. Thanks Dan! read more

He did an excellent job of solving a bees in the wall mystery and worked meticulously to remove the bee hive and queen in a high corner of the house. He's resposive, easy to schedule, professional and courteous. His costs are pretty straight forward, he clearly has the experience and told me upfront what was going to be involved. I'd definitely hire him again (while I hope I never need to :). read more

Dan is definitely the Bee Man! Dan came to help us cut down a weed in our backyard, that turns out was covered In aphids, and had 3 different kind of wasps attracted to it. He arrived same day and was such a delight! Highly recommend him! To not have to harm the bees that provide us so much on this planet is the greatest feeling. I am so happy that Dan is out there supporting that goal! Thank you Dan! read more

Dan the Bee Man was great to work with. He very clearly explained our hive situations and how they would be removed, and he answered all of our questions before and during the process. He was friendly, on time, easy to coordinate with, and worked efficiently. Strongly recommend! read more

Yep, another 5 star review for Dan. We discovered that bees were coming in through one of our rooms at about 10pm on a Wednesday. We called Dan the following day...and he was booked, but came over at 6pm. At first we were both sure that the bees were coming in through our attic. Dan crawled up into our hot and uncomfortable attic in full bee gear and came down drenched in sweat. Instead of being discouraged...he said, "Guess they aren't up there". He then found the source of how they were entering our house. They were coming in through a tiny hole in the closet. He spent 2.5 hours total to take care of a pretty rough problem and only charged us for 2. Not only did he remove the bees and block their entrance outside of our house...he gave us tips to ensure that this wouldn't happen again next summer. If you have a bee problem don't hesitate to call Dan. He does this as a side job...his full-time work is in IT in the computer industry. The guy is super sharp and you will immediately feel confident that he will isolate the problem quickly. -Rusty read more

Dan is a nice guy, and a consummate professional at his trade. I am a former farmer and amateur bee keeper and I was amazed how quickly he was able to remove two very large nests of angry wasps embedded in old rail road tie planters. read more

I had two wasp nests this summer. I reached out to Dan because of the good reviews and he replied immediately, showed up on time, and was clearly knowledgeable. He removed the nests in one hour and gave me great advice. A couple days later I noticed a few wasps flying around. I reached out to him on a Sunday night and he promptly got back to me, stopped by the house and took care of it, making me feel very comfortable. He doesn't use any chemicals, which I appreciate very much. If you got a question or concern about wasps or bees around, contact him. He's a pro and very very nice guy. read more

Dan took care of an impressive aerial yellowjacket nest in our back yard. It was the size of a basketball, about 15 feet up in a tree and only a few feet from our neighbors' bedroom window. I found Dan thanks to Yelp, and with his 5-star rating I figured I couldn't go wrong. I called at around 10:00 am on a Saturday, and he was here by 4:00pm to take care of the nest. He was here for less than an hour, and the nest & its inhabitants are history. He seemed to enjoy explaining the to us the various habits of the yellowjackets, and he even hung a trap to take care of the stragglers. I will certainly call Dan if/when I have another bee issue, and I will not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. He was polite, professional, and a pleasure to do business with. read more

Problem solved. Within two days of reaching out via email, Karin (BizOps Manager) had me on the schedule for an appointment. One day later she offered an appointment a day earlier. Super. It took Dan two seconds to confirm I had a yellowjacket nest and he was able to proceed straight to removing it. The nest was in a wall in my house and was removed by cutting a hole in the inside wall of an upstairs bedroom. Dan was very quick, thorough, and tidy about it. He also used heavy duty plastic to cover the hole until I get around to patching the drywall (I was fully prepared for him to need to cut a hole - his website is clear about that and there's really no way around it). Even though he was fast, he wasn't at all rushed about answering my questions and providing me with some advice about how to avoid having more insects nest in my house in the future (this is the 3rd nest I've had). Believe all of the Yelpers who highly recommend Dan. He knows what he's doing and is incredibly efficient. In fact, the whole process (including scheduling) was refreshingly easy. His fee is very reasonable as well. read more

I should have written this weeks ago, so sorry I didn't get to do it earlier. I actually didn't work with them. Book via email and was told that he's fully booked and not accepting anymore appointment. To my surprise, I got a message that night from Karin with very helpful advice on how to deal with bee issue in the meantime, until we got someone else to take care of this. And she said: Feel free to ask me if you have more questions. That's such an ethical business. So amazed with the way they treated people who's not a prospect of doing business with them. I'm sure they have tons of happy customers. read more

Found Dan on Yelp and he is as great as everyone says. Maybe better! He came out to help with a bee problem which turned out to be a 'wait and see' level of emergency. He really told me everything I needed to know about our biting insects (yellowjackets) and how to proceed once they died off. Even after spending a good 45 minutes at our house, there was no charge. I will keep his number on hand for any future problems, without a doubt, although I really hope we don't have any future problems. One yellowjacket bite is enough for me. read more

Dan and his wife are awesome - super friendly and knowledgable about bees and wasps! We had Dan come out for a consultation where we had a common yellowjacket infestation in our attic and top rooms. After educating us about the particular behavior of these yellowjackets, he suggested that we not perform the more expensive (and destructive) nest removal, because they are naturally dying at the end of the season and won't be an issue soon. The problem is indeed lessening now and we're happy we didn't have to cut open a wall and spend money when it wasn't needed. Dan is also cheaper than other generalist pest control companies (that don't seem to know much about bees and wasps, and certainly aren't interested in coming out to track down the source of the problem) - you won't regret giving them a call if you have any bee or wasp issues! read more

My wife found some bees or yellow jackets (we weren't sure which) nesting in our external wall in late June 2018. I emailed Dan the Bee Man a video of them going in-and-out of the hole, and they identified them as yellow jackets. Karin got us scheduled for 2 days after my initial email, a Saturday. Dan came by, identified the problem, found the nest, and removed it (with no chemicals, as per their MO) all within ~45 minutes (work itself was about 30). When he was inspecting and getting ready I was asking him questions about how to prevent it in the future and what to do, and he was both knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to. This is our first home, into which which we just moved in November 2017. We've already dealt with several types of contractors/workers as we improve the place. The experience with Dan/Karin was definitely in the top tier for all the companies we've interacted with - not a single complaint or issue I can think of. We were honestly a little taken aback that there were no complications after the wave of other things we've run into. We've already recommended them to 2 different couples for similar issues. I'd recommend them to you too if you need this type of work done. Thanks Dan and Karin! You helped turn a potentially big stressor into a task that came and went in a weekend with no muss or fuss. read more

Definitely hire Dan. His is courteous, on time, responds quickly to emails, and operates with the highest integrity. Dan removed a nasty nest in our rockery. The next day, more yellow jackets were zooming in and out of an adjacent crack in the rocks. I emailed Dan and he immediately offered to come out that night (!) to fix it. He spent an additional hour at no extra charge to solve the problem. I am happy to support small, local businesses; and I so appreciate working with sincere, knowledgeable people who really try to do the right thing. Dan is the real thing. read more

Fantastic job done!! Dan did the job VERY thoroughly and efficiently in removing the huge nest and even taught me a lot. He got everything taken care of. Even the customer service scheduler Karin was very quick in responses, communicative and helpful! Dan and Karin really exuded positive and caring service and care. They truly seem like people who love what they do. I felt happy and reassured during the entire process. They went above and beyond and I feel relieved. Worth EVERY penny and if I could give more than 5 stars I would! read more

Both Karin & Don were very responsive & professional from our initial call regarding a yellow jacket infestation on our back porch! On Wednesday Dan came exactly on the scheduled hour Karin had set for us & removed the basketball-sized nest that had been there over a 3 year period of time. Dan was exceptionally focused and used an infrared gun to locate the nest. He set clear parameters around cost & labor time through a formal work agreement signed before he started work. The effort lasted 1 1/2 hours which included identifying the nest, entry & repair into the porch ceiling, removal of the nest & follow-up after the nest removal to remove straggling yellow jackets. It refreshing to work with such fair, dedicated, honest & hardworking people. What a relief to have the nest removed!! Thank you Dan & Karin! read more

Dan came out within a day or 2 and assessed the nest in the ground/stairs. This was a hidden nest buried in a cement stair case. Dan new exactly what these yellow-jackets were up too and got to work. He was amazing with his work and very professional indeed. Thank you for coming out Dan!!! It is wonderful to support a local business and Poison-free...BONUS! read more

Dan was amazing! Not only was he very nice, knowledgable about bees, professional, but was very swift to come out to our house and look at our situation. After experiencing what Dan can do, I will not use another service for a bee problem, and would recommend him to anyone that has bee issues! You the man Dan! read more

We had Dan out today to remove a huge wasp nest from underneath some siding on our house. He was professional, quick and did a fantastic job. Well worth the money. Plus, no poisons! I would not hesitate to have him back should we need his services again. It is great to know that he is around. read more

Dan came by today to take a look at a wasp nest we have under the eaves in our back yard. He told us they weren't the same wasps who had been bothering us when we were eating outside. He was very knowledgeable about all the different kinds of wasps and where they like to hide, giving us prevention tips for discouraging nesting of the yellow jackets who are the pests who have been bothering us. They are likely coming from somewhere outside our yard. In the end, we elected not to have him move the nest we have because they aren't the culprits of our problem. We feel a lot more versed now in what to look for and will absolutely call him back if yellow jackets end up building a nest anywhere on our property (or for any other bothersome wasps who may move in - apparently there are 6 types of native wasps). read more
