Bzz Bee removal

David and his assistant were timely, very efficient and cost effective. They did a first rate job of ridding my walls of bumblebees that had taken up residence. I was also happy that he did all this with a minimum of chemical intervention; he carried away a bag of bees that I understand he will release elsewhere (we need our pollinators!). I recommend him highly and would definitely call on him again.

David was the best! He took care of «bees“ness! He had to come back once but because his work is guarantees 3 months it was no issue.
I highly recommend him and if he does come out he takes photos of his work if you ask! I’m just waiting on a photo of our hives new home in Pacifica.
Happy Dance!!!

David and his hardworking guys should be called «The Bee Busters». We had an active yellow jacket nest in our front yard. I tried killing it with three cans of bee bomb but it only made the yellow jackets mad. I called David Williams and with his experience and help of his brave team, the dug out and destroyed a large nest, filled with larvae. Folks, This is dangerous business. David and Crew know their stuff. Call the experts!

Kudos to David and his crew.
First, David answered his phone at 7am on a Sunday morning and arrived perfectly on time at 7am Tuesday to remove a growing nest of yellow jackets from my wall.
Talk about being on the front lines. All were stung multiple times, essentially on my behalf.
The thing about yellow jackets is that they’re nasty and a nest in your wall will quickly become an invasion of your house if you don’t get on it quickly. Apparently, they make their way through a wall in less time than you might imagine. David said we were two days away from that happening. Think Hitchcock’s The Birds with Yellowjackets.
The end result: nest removed, sheetrock replaced, patched, exterior hole sealed. So neat and tidy you’d never know that they’d been there.
Hard to imagine that some people have had a bad experience.

I like Dave, i found him to be personable and knowledgeable. We had some wasps in the ground that they took care of with no problem. We also had a nest in the wall of the house that took two visits to try and kill them. They were unsuccessful. I’m sure getting rid of structural nests isn’t as easy as it sounds, That is not why the two star review. The issue that i had with them is that after the second visit, they stopped answering my phone calls and did not return any messages. I still had an active hive in the wall with some overflow into my bathroom. I had to contact another company to come out and finish the job. It was extremely unprofessional, I was left with a yellow jacket infestation and out about $ 400 (200.00 per nest)

David just came by to remove & relocate a bumblebee nest that I stumbled upon in my front yard. I called the day before and he offered to come the next morning. He came exactly at the specified time and finished the job in a little less than an hour. He’s really friendly, explains what he’s doing (if you want to know), and guarantees his work for 3 months. He did such a great job, I almost wished I had another hive for him to work on.
The cost of the work was very reasonable and he’s been doing this for 20+ years so he knows what he’s doing. He also does landscaping, painting, and home repairs. Thanks, David!

Dave is conscientious and helpful. I’ve called him at least 3 times and he’s always available for service within 24 hours of my call. He is polite and gets the job done. I recommend him highly.

David Williams was super personable, responded quickly to my call about a big wasps’ nest and scheduled a visit for the next day. He came right on time, found another nest I hadn’t even noticed and cleaned out some thick spiders’ webs too. I really liked that he asked me before spraying where the wasps’ nest had been — and the soap spray he uses is non-​toxic anyway. His excellent service and three-​month guarantee left me feeling confident and relieved. A great, easy experience.

David really knows his stuff! He carefully located our bees and told us the most effective way to remove them was through the living room ceiling. Not what I wanted to hear. But he did such an amazing job removing the wasps and patching the ceiling, it was painless. And while he was at it, he patched an entirely separate hole in our drywall which we have been meaning to patch for a long time. And on top of that, he fixed a broken light fixture which our electrician had not managed to troubleshoot. I only wish I had called him sooner. But better late than never. He is also very friendly and is into bee art.

Dave Williams is a beekeeper and experienced in bee removal — but he is also wonderful with garden and yard work. In a few hours, he and his crew transformed our miserable, overgrown, hard soil front yard into a lovely oasis of beauty. They cleared the weeds, removed old, tough plants that were no longer useful; turned the soil, dug the holes for new plants (not easy); then amended the soil and planted. The final touch was the black bark mulch over the entire area. The result is profound and hard to capture with a photograph, but the yard is just beautiful. While bees are his business, he’s capable of much more — truly getting impossible jobs done. Thank you, Dave, and thanks to your able and happy crew!

Sunday morning we found a swarm of bees around a small hole in our house. I called David Williams and by the next morning he and Rodney had safely and humanely removed the hive inside our wall. They even sheet rocked the wall they had to open and moved and covered our stuff so it was not damaged. They were punctual, courteous, professional and friendly. David even warned me that the stragglers might try to get back in where the hole was, and offered to come back if they didn’t move on in a couple of days. (If I had wanted, we could have just put plexiglass in so we could observe the bees instead of remove them!) I would highly recommend David if you have similar issues.

We discovered a massive paper wasp nest (underground at the base of our 100ft redwood tree)!!! Oh Boy! Had gotten stung several times.
Found Dave through Unilocal & decided to call. He came out the next morning. Within an hour to an hour and a half… he & his partner removed what turned out to be a wasp «hive» of probably more than «hundreds of thousands» of wasps.
Can’t say enough good things about his service! Price VERY reasonable, service
prompt, providing good info on what to expect over the next couple of days at the «nest».
Love the fact that he is a bee-​keeper and that (based on other Unilocal info) the Berkeley Horticultural Society refers «situations» to him.
Thank you Dave!

We had a nasty yellow jacket nest in the very front step leading to our house from the sidewalk. We figured it would be a complete drag for trick or treaters, so we searched Unilocal and found Dave Williams and Bzz Bee Removal. Called him last Saturday afternoon 10÷26÷13. He came out the next morning, SUNDAY!, at 7:15am. He and his assistant took apart the wood framing and pavers of the step and removed the nest. It was pretty big. They put the step back together perfectly. We have not seen any bees since then and our neighborhood trick or treaters didn’t get swarmed! Yay! Highly recommend Dave!

We found Bzz Bee on Unilocal while looking for help with removing some wasps nests that formed around the awning of my two-​story home. They were all the way up there and pretty difficult to reach. We called Dave on a Thursday and he came out on the following Sunday morning bright and early (apparently, the wasps are least active during the early morning).
Dave and his staff were very friendly and professional. They got rid of about 5 – 6 wasp nests that were all around roof level and even enlightened me with a few facts about wasps and bees alike. He charged the exact amount that we were quoted over the phone despite the needed effort to reach the wasp nests. I willingly paid the additional amount for a attic inspection he offered (which didn’t feel like it was pressured upon us at all). I was very happy with the service and he said he’ll come back if the wasps return within a month.
I’d recommend their service to anyone with wasps, bees, hornet, etc. problems.

Super happy with David! We had about 10 paper wasp nests being built around the awnings of our house. It wasn’t until I found one on the INSIDE of my porch swing that I decided to take action. I called David, who came out the next day, bright and early and took each one the the nests down. including the Queens. He sprayed with a non-​toxic spray that has kept them from rebuilding and tho, I am happy with bees and wasps doing their thing in my garden. I’d rather keep them away from the house and kids :)

Great job. David was willing to come to our place on the weekend or a weekday. He came early when the wasps were sleeping and cold, He hand removed a nest from the door-​well of my van and sprayed with a non-​toxic soy spray. He also searched for more nests and found a small one, which he also removed by hand – and didn’t charge anything extra. $ 95 including a 3 month warranty. Everything I hoped for and more than I expected. Highly recommend Bzz Bee.

wow… this is the best guy in the bee business! Dave can help you with all sorts of household situations. but when it comes to bees he’s the man: removal from walls and structures, beehives, swarms, hornets, wasps, bumblebees… if you have a pest problem call him. he has helped me with bees and other home improvements that are major accomplishments. if you have an impossible job call
and you will be satisfied.

I hired David Williams after being referred to him by Berkeley Horticultural Society and a good friend in Oakland that raises orchids and all types of garden flowers (Brian the Orchid Guy). I began noticing bees in my bathroom strangely after my handyman cut back my trees before the weather changing. I suspected more when my neighbor noticed bee activity near my kitchen window while I was barbecuing the Saturday before the Super Bowl.
David came out on very short notice to look at what I discovered was a bee hive identified by Terminix who does not sustainably deal with these problems (structural extermination is what Vector Control calls it).
David came out and gave me a very reasonable estimate to not only remove the hive but also repair the wall, since unlike most bee removal folks he also has carpentry skills (his rate actually was terrific since a former colleague of his wanted about $ 50 less just to remove the hive and not repair the area to its original likeness).
He came on time with his colleague and went into the wall, told me it was yellow jackets and bees and got those buggers out. They repaired the wall and seriously I couldn’t tell they even opened the wall, they repaired it that good (lath/​plaster and Sheetrock).
David told me he would come back if I found problems; I did see some bees in the bathroom after he left, but these were clearly ones that weren’t in the hive at the time of the extermination/​removal of the queen; I just helped them by opening a window.
Went out later and saw 1 bee upon my return so far (another stray no doubt). He explained tat the flight patterns of bees clearly remember where they were before. My goal was to have him sustainably remove what was there and he did that; efficiently, neatly and successfully.
I was so impressed with the work I asked him to give me some carpentry estimates on my fence and deck.
I don’t know about the other reviewers here on their experiences but I would definitely recommend to anyone needing the service to contact him. My neighbor wants his help with a backyard bee hive so I’ll be seeing him again I’m sure.

hired David Williams of Bzz Bee Removal to remove a bee hive in our apartment building. He came out and removed the bees, no problem. Even gave us a warranty. Price was reasonable. Two weeks later, the bees are back. He was slow to come back and handle the problem, but as of this writing he is taking care of it, albeit a bit later than we would have preferred.

I have used Bzz Bee to help with a wasp infestation. David was initially very helpful and gave a 30 day guarantee for follow up. When the problem did not resolve he was not responsive to phone calls or emails. He had promised to come over and did not show up or call. I was very disappointed with the service.
