"A few years back our company was taking a large tree down and it had about 1000 bee's inside the tree. Bat Bee & Hornet came and removed the hive and the bee's. So now I had a need at our home, we had a next of about 30 to 40 European Hornets living inside our Gazebo. I called Paul and he came out, I was not home when he performed the work, but my neighbors watch him and when I came home, no hornets not even a dead one on the ground. It has been over a week now and still no hornets. Now Paul did say they can return and eggs could be around that have not hatched yet. I am hopeful they are gone for good. I must say I did call another company first, because I forgot at first about the Bee's in the tree since it was work related vs home related. And the other company would only work with us if we became a client that used their services for home pest prevention's. They quoted me a price a couple hundred more than what Paul quoted me, and then once Paul did the work he discounted his price close to 20%. Yes i would call Bat Bee and Hornet again."

"The owner, George Davidson, supervised the work and personally interacted with me and my daughter whose house needed the roof. He also made recommendations that improved the look and quality of the roof. The workers were very prompt and cleaned up everything. Having dealt with many companies in my lifetime with varying satisfaction I have to say this was among the best if not the best I have experienced."

"I hired John who had to eliminate a number of ground hogs digging around the foundation. John explained what he was planning to do, the reasons behind his plan and then executed the plan which took a number of visits. He even released a possum which got caught up in the traps. I liked that he dealt with the problem without causing "collateral" damage to non-targeted animals. John also sealed up miscellaneous entrances to the crawl space so don't have to worry about other rodents moving in. Very easy to work with, explains everything and reasonably priced."

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Petersburg, VA

You're likely to find nesting birds in external areas such as your gutters, eaves, porches, and chimneys. Some birds also nest in less obvious spots, like attics or even in your ventilation systems if they gain access. A reputable pro will conduct an inspection before starting any work to check for evidence of where birds may have set up roosting or nesting sites in your home.

Leaving birds to roost and nest on your home creates significant risks that affect both your home's structure and your well-being. The constant droppings, aggressive swooping, and persistent noise can damage siding, allow moisture intrusion, and stain exterior finishes. In addition, the birds’ pecking and droppings can spread diseases and parasites, which can lead to escalating repair costs and health hazards.

Yes, humane removal is possible and ensures that birds remain unharmed during the extraction process. Experts use proven methods to safely capture and relocate both birds and their nests to secure environments. Professionals employ stainless steel spikes as a deterrent while avoiding harmful techniques such as poisons or glue traps. You can rely on trusted specialists who strictly use safe, noninjurious methods, thereby protecting the birds while resolving the nuisance.

Yes, there are legal considerations when removing birds and their nests. You must adhere to strict local and state regulations, which safeguard protected native species during nesting season. Special authorization is required to remove protected birds, their nests, or eggs under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Observing these legal mandates avoids violations and ensures safe, responsible removal.

To prevent birds from returning after nest removal, you can implement deterrent methods. Installing stainless steel spikes creates a secure barrier that prevents birds from roosting without causing injury. In contrast, loose nets may entangle birds and other wildlife, creating additional hazards. A trusted professional will choose and install the optimal method to keep your home bird-free.

A bird’s nest remains viable for a period that depends on the species. The construction phase concludes within 2 days to 3 weeks, followed by a rearing stage lasting 2 to 10 weeks. Most birds become fully independent within 2 to 6 weeks, while certain predatory species require up to 2 1/2 months. This timeline can guide you on when it's safe to intervene.
