"The work was excellent. Will came for the estimate and was very polite and kind. He explained the process to me and answered my questions. Fortunately, whatever was in my attic vacated before Will arrived so I was able to proceed with repairs without fear of trapping any unfortunate critters inside my attic. All of the work was unobtrusive and remained outside. J.P. and Austin were the ones that did the repairs. I was very happy with the end results! They too were both very kind and polite and addressed all of my questions. For both appointments (estimate and repair), the technicians were on time. They worked very efficiently too. I was very happy that I found a company who could deal with both possible animal removal and the repair of damage caused by animals getting into the attic."

My name is Sheldon Faison; I am a home inspector with Faison and Associates Consulting & Environmental Services (FACES).FACES Inspectors are leaders in the home inspection industry. We have over 20 years of experience in the construction and inspecting field. In today’s changing market a strong inspector is needed to teach and advise home buyers in one of the biggest processes of their lives. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration, I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future. Please call (202) 327-3276 to schedule an appointment.
"Sheldon Faison F.A.C.E.S. LLC served as my inspector during the month of August in regards to closing on my property. Since then -- and barely a month later, I experienced issues in regards to the heating system. I paid to update it and was informed I would need to replace the HVAC unit completely before the end of the year (*this is noticeable because the HVAC unit was perhaps the first thing I inquired with you about but I was told not to worry about it and that the system was still "good"*). Note that this will cost approximately $6,000 - $10,000 in addition to the $1,000 I've already paid. Secondly, we are now in the month of March--I haven't been in my home for a full year and already, there are issues with water leaking from the third floor bathroom unto the living room floor. If one actually looks closely, there appears to be a very obvious bulge in the living room ceiling that was there since the day of closing. I reviewed the report and while it does mention issues with ceiling drywall not being sealed properly, this was not mentioned during the walkthrough and no added importance given to this issue versus less serious issues being given high importance during the walk though despite this inspector placing a great importance on explaining things to the minutiae. There were also issues with the toilet running that resulted in a higher than normal water bill for a few months that I also had to account for and again--this was not mentioned in the inspection report. I am sure there are quite more issues that haven't come to light yet but as a first time homeowner-- it is extremely disappointing to me that these items were not factored in the inspection report as this would have made all the difference in my decision to purchase this home."

Swarms of bees stay for just a few hours, but can remain for two or three days. Under the right conditions, beehives can last indefinitely, as bee colonies are self-sustaining. The queen is the heart of the hive and can live for up to five years. As she ages and her egg production declines, the worker bees replace her by raising a new queen.
Worker bees live up to six months if born in the fall, but only about 40 days when born in the spring or summer. Drones live between three weeks and three months. The queen continuously lays eggs that quickly mature to replace bees that die. Ask your beekeeper or pest control specialist for further details based on the type of bees you have.
Ideally, you should remove a bee's nest very early in the morning or late in the evening when all of the bees are in the hive.
Bees do not fly at night, so although they may buzz and show some activity, they will not fly or swarm. This allows you to remove the entire colony safely in one attempt. While bees may be slightly more active in the early morning or late evening, most will be in the hive, minimizing the number of stragglers left behind.
After complete bee removal, stray workers will not regroup if all traces of honey, comb, and pheromones are thoroughly eliminated. Professional removal procedures seal access points and remove every residue that could attract bees, ensuring the area remains bee‐free. Follow-up inspections confirm that prevention measures are effective, so your home remains secure against any re-infestation.
