Dave was awesome! He was able to come out the same day I called him to check the beehive in the eaves of my roof. He assessed the problem and quoted me a very reasonable price. He was back at my place the next morning at sunrise to deal with the beehive. He was very personable and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him and would use him again. But I hope I don’t have to. 😊read more

We had a large hive in the wall of our master bedroom. Donning his bee suit, Dave went straight to work -- cutting a hole in the drywall, extracting the bees, cleaning out the hive and sealing the holes where the bees were coming in. Then he neatly closed up the hole, drywalled and even matched the paint exactly. You can't even see where the hole was. The cost was reasonable and the service was very quick. But the best part is Dave cares about the bees and relocates them to the hives of local beekeepers. Other bee removal companies may say they are removing when they are really exterminating. The D-Tek social media is full of interesting facts about bees, and the website is very informative. Highly recommended.read more

Had a wonderful experience with D-Tek! Dave was awesome and very personable. He was able to come out right away and got rid of our bees efficiently for a very really good price. He texted photos of the hive in the wall during the removal process and then showed it to us once it was safely extracted. Would highly recommend!read more

After several very stressful hours yesterday killing 20+ bees that had entered my house through our chimney, I placed a called Dave around 5:45 p.m. PT, requesting an appointment for the next day. He clearly sensed my panic since I have a young child and could tell I was distraught over how I was going to keep them out of the house. Out of the blue, he offered to come to the house immediately! Not only was Dave totally knowledgeable and explained these were just "scouts" looking for a new place to settle and build, but he managed to calm me way down. However the icing on the cake was that he REFUSED to invoice me because there was no sign of a hive yet. Being a business owner myself, I cannot tell you how admirable it is to meet another businessperson with such tremendous integrity. Dave will be our go-to-guy for all our "bee needs" and I will recommend him to anyone and everyone who will listen!read more

I noticed we had some bees hanging out on our back building. I made a few calls and Dave was the only 1 out of 5 companies who came prepared with the right tools to give an estimate the same day. There was no waiting around to hear back from someone else or waiting for an email quote. I needed the work done asap. He was able to schedule a time with me and get it taken care of in three days. I was surprised to learn he actually relocated the bees to a bee keeper. I was also pleased with the repairs that took place after he removed them, my wall and awning look great. I couldn't believe how big the hive actually was, and Dave was more than happy to walk me through each step of what he was doing. When i had a small cluster appear he happily came and removed them too. I could ask for better service and am more than happy to recommend D-Tek live removal to anyone. A great experience ll the way around.read more

Dave came to the house when he said, reviewed the problem, scheduled when he would come back and do the work at a safer time a day, and completed it quickly. Very pleasant guy. Explained in detail what was happening and what he was going to have to do to get rid of the bees. Will use him again and will refer him to other. Thanks David!read more

Bees decided to make a home in the eves of a retail building I manage. Dave was very accommodating in going in after business hours. Well, WAY before business hours so that people enjoying a nice stroll along the sidewalk wouldn't be inconvenienced and so the store owner could open and not lose any business. He also sent photos as the work progressed. If I have any more bees, D-Tek is who I will be calling.read more

I called for bee removal for a construction site, Dave was extremely informative and indicated he would be able to get all of the bees if he came early in the morning the next day while they aren't out and about. He still offered to arrive in the afternoon the same day I called, should there be an imminent hazard from the bees. Dave arrived and relocated the bees without any issues and at a reasonable price. If I run into bees again at my project sites, I will be giving him a call. Thanks again for your service.read more

Dave was quick to come in and out and remove the bees out of our hillside brush within 48 hours of inquiring about his service. He even removed and disposed of the tire they had took refuge in. He was also nice enough to leave a couple pieces of the comb per the kids request to take to show and tell, and provided us with up close pictures of his discovery. We will definitely call Dave again should we acquire anymore unwanted residents. Thanks Dave!read more

Dave was not only prompt but explained the work he was going to do, the types of bees we had and expertly removed them. The area our hive was located was not easy to access, in a hill and buried in brush, but he removed them with no problem or hassles!! Would highly recommend his services.read more

Spring is here and so are the bees! Dave was amazing! He called me right back and Came to take care of the Bee situation immediately.
