Home Services reviews in Oakland, California

Hugo is my new Best Friend!! We ended up having a bees nest in our kitchen oven hood. There were hundreds of bees flying in our house (and thousands in our vent!). My husband called Hugo on the weekend and he was at our house within 1.5 hours. He was Courteous, Professional and he explained everything to me as he was doing it and answered any questions that I had. He did not leave until every bee was gone! Also, the bees were relocated and not killed. If you ever find yourself in this situation, I highly recommend that you call Hugo.

Hugo saved the day!!! He arrived quickly to relocate a hive that was starting to build in my walls. He was here when the queen was being ushered in and influenced the swarm to vacate my walls. Thank you Hugo!

I called Hugo and he came out the very same day! He was so informative and taught me a lot about bees and let me know everything that he was going to do. We had two yellowjacket nests in a stump hole in our backyard. He spent extra time to make sure he got everything out so that we would not have any issues going forward! He even took the time to clean up and replace the stones which he dug up! Everything was so professional--just the way it should be! Thank you so much Hugo! Highly recommend!!

Humane bee removal from decorative garden wall. Very prompt response to inquiry and thorough and professional inspection and resolution of the issue. Business owner, Hugo, is also very knowledge about home repair and gets to the root of the problem to solve it which is great for a homeowner trying to mitigate future projects.

Hugo, also managed some water damage in several areas of our home and was the only contractor interviewed to get to and solve the root of the problem. Dedicated to excellence and high quality workshop. Would definitely recommend and use again!

Hugo responded within about an hour of my call in regard to a wasps nest established in our attic. He was over the same day and had it removed and de-pheromoned immediately so that we could have some peace of mind. Two days later, he came to check on the thoroughness of the removal, and to eliminate all points of access for the wasps. He spent several hours on the work and was very polite and mindful about Covid practices, cleaning all the surfaces as he finished up. We were very happy with his work, which he also guaranteed.

Hugo at Bees Evictions is top notch! I needed a wasp nest removed in my yard ASAP because I had guests arriving - I called Hugo and he was available to meet the same evening! Hugo quickly dug out the "ground nest" - nearly the size of a soccer ball - excavating under a bush. He also spent time ensuring that he removed the entire problem from my large yard (yes, there can be other nests!) and explaining to me what to look out for. I HIGHLY recommend Hugo. He will save you $$ and your sanity!

We live in San Jose and Hugo was able to come down immediately to clear out a yellow jacket nest in the ground next to our sidewalk. His price was much higher than others but it was well worth it. The next was 7x larger than normal and the yellow jackets had already stung a family member. He was very thorough digging out the nests (plural!!), vacuuming the yellow jackets, and treating and then replacing the soil. He then checked around the yard for more possible nests. In all he spent over 2 hours. If we ever need help with anything that buzzes or stings, we will call him.

Hugo was wonderful! He came out same day and removed our yellow jacket nest underground.

Before calling Huge at Bee Evictions about a yellowjacket nest, I had the county vector control come out and whatever white powder they dumped around the nest only made things worse. I called Hugo in the morning and he was able to come out that evening to remove it. He does not use toxic sprays. Instead he is able to remove the entire nest with the yellow jackets in it. While doing the job he found and removed a 2nd nest and he let me know that if I see any remaining yellowjacket activity he will come back out, all at no extra cost.

Hugo arrived within one hour of my initial call. I pointed out the honey bees swarming at the corner of my roof. I told him about about other hives over the past ten years that had been removed from the same area. Hugo said the previous bee removal services had only done a partial job, and he explained what needed to be done. He said the entire void space under the roof had to be opened up to remove the hives and clean out all evidence of prior hives so that the bees would not return again.
Hugo started work the next day and put up his 22 foot ladder to just under where the bees were getting into the house. He opened up and removed the bottom of the space where the new hive was. He also found evidence of 3 other abandoned hives, one of which was so old the wax had turned black, and was from a time before we bought the house.
Hugo scraped and cleaned out all the hives and the mess the bees had left behind. He caulked the entire area inside and out, painted the inside of the spaces under the roof, and then replaced the wall board he had removed to get at the hives. Hugo did most of this work standing on the top rung of his 22 foot ladder.
Hugo was friendly and did a remarkable job under difficult to dangerous circumstances. Over the years I have called four other bee removal services. This time I called the right one, and this time, I'm sure the bees won't be back.
I highly recommend calling Bees Evictions if you have a bee problem. Hugo was relentlessly remarkable.

Hugo does wonderful work! He came fast and diagnosed the problem and had the hive removed and wall patched in no time. I even referred him to my neighbor for her hive removal. I could not be happier with his work

Hugo is incredible, we had a nasty nest that our poor kitty cat discovered the hard way. After a number of calls and googling DIY yellow jacket nest removal- Hugo was the 1st and only one that called me back. He had one job and then came to our house that evening, texting when he was 10 minutes out. He’s friendly, considerate and knowledgeable. In an hour or so, we were yellow jacket free. We are so grateful! If you are having a yellow jacket problem, DEFINITELY don’t hesitate to call Bees Evictions.

Hugo is the best! He came over right away after my frantic call and found I had yellow jacket wasps in an exterior wall. Next morning he arrived and immediately got to work quickly removing the nest. He then put back the exterior window frame and completely caulked the area. He was done in 90 minutes- amazing! Highly recommend!!

Hugo went above and beyond to take care of our bee problem on short notice. He also came back to take care of another swarm days later. Thanks to Hugo and his team for the quick and thorough response. Highly recommend!

Hugo took my call on Sunday afternoon and showed up Monday morning to remove a huge hive from my yard. In and out in two hours and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Hugo is amazing! I highly recommend!
We discovered a hornet’s nest in a vent close to our roof because we saw hornets going in and out. Within an hour of my call Hugo came to our house and evaluated the situation. He told me he would be back around 6:30pm because that is when the hornets would be more docile. He was back at about 6:25pm and proceeded to get stuff out of his truck so he could be ready right at 6:30pm to get to work. He climbed a super tall ladder and was able to get right up to the nest. He was so fast and professional removing the nest. We also found out that he takes the hornets he removed to a farm to pollinate. It is a win win! The hornets didn’t have to die but they also were removed from the vent on our house. Call Hugo for all of your hornet and bee removals, he is the best!

Wow! Came out on a Sunday, and it was Mother’s Day! No increased fee for a weekend call. We had honey bees building a hive in the chimney, and bees were getting into the house. They were removed live and brought to a bee keeper. The chimney was cleaned of all residue and a barrier installed to prevent future hives. Hugo is very knowledgeable, and as an added bonus, he can personally return your structure to pristine condition even if the bees are behind walls, bricks, etc.

Hugo came out right away to help with a giant yellow jacket nest. He knew the time to come to ensure success based on their habits. Did a thorough job and removed the nest. Would highly recommend.

Hugo was great. He came out and removed my carpenter bees and treated the area for no return. He stayed true to his quote even though the nest was more widespread than expected. He knows his bees!

Hugo was great with explaining the process of removing the carpenter bees as well as getting them out of our patio! He also put a premium
on making sure we were happy with his services. Highly recommended!

Wonderful professional service from Bees Evictions!! I discovered a rapidly growing yellow jacket nest behind my house. Hugo came the same day that I called and took care of it on the spot. The yellow jackets had dug in behind a moss rock retaining wall, which Hugo expertly reassembled when he was done. No more yellow jackets and it looks great. Highly recommend!
