| - So I found this place online, after discovering a beehive in a tree in our yard. Wish i would've read yelp first! They also showed a $25 discount on any bee removal service and when I called the guy who answered was friendly and said they would come today and give a 1 HR courtesy call. I decided to go with them.
So, the "one hour" courtesy call came and we were not at home. However, we had planned accordingly and could get home in 15-20 min. The guy said he'd bee (pun intended) there in 20 min. I call that a 20 min courtesy call, not 1 hour! It worked out and we made it home before he arrived because it was more like 25-30 min. Guy shows up and has the enthusiasm and service of well... A rock!
I take him to show the hive and he says, "Ok, $140". I asked him about the $25 discount and he said, "ok, $115" and walked away, almost angry I think. It took him about 15 min total to do his work, incl prep time to put on his protective gear. Afterwards, he wrote up the invoice and said that we may have another problem if the bees come back. What?! No type of guarantee, I ask?! He says for $25 he can come back and spray if they come back. I asked, "what if they come back in say 2 years or something?". He says for $50 he can guarantee it til then. What kind of sham is this? I decline and give him a check for $115.
I would recommend you buzz around (ok I can't resist the puns) and look for a place with better service and some sort of guarantee, even if for a short period.
