I am an 84 year old widow on a fixed income who panicked when being confronted with bees on my house. I immediately called the first bee removal outfit I found on the internet. A young man arrived shortly after my call and I foolishly said to do what ever has to be done.
I was still in a panicky shock-like state of mind when I signed two contracts and two checks, one for bee and honey removal $645 and one for roof repairs $745! After realizing my error, I called the company in an attempt to negotiate the price. I was told it was too late. They already had my signature. So I stopped payment on the checks and later sent a money order for $645 plus check charge of $12 noting that this was payment in full for all work done by them. They responded with threats. I am really upset and feel I have already paid them way too much.
I feel that $1390 was a tad bit high for the removal of honeycombs located under the roof tile of my one story home. It took the young man about an hour to complete the job.
I can't help but wonder if this senior woman was taken advantage of. A couple of roof tiles were removed and replaced for the whopping price of $745! A day after the job was done, I was told by my yard maintenance man that there were no bees at his last visit and there was no way so much honey could have been made in that short amount of time.
Like services from other companies range from $150 to 350.
Be sure to get more than one estimate!
