We remove hives of stinging insects, such as honey bees, wasps, hornets, & yellow jackets.  We remove the whole hive and relocate colonies of honey bees, which are dwindling in number.  We make sure to seal the opening into the house, if you've had a hive of stinging insects inside the walls of the building. We safely and permanently solve bee problems and have the proper equipment and licensing for stinging insect projects. As with our wildlife control work, we strive for the best in customer care, we listen to your problem over the phone and give you a fair price quote, and arrive on time and do professional work.  Many Los Angeles pest control companies don't do stinging insect and bee removal, but we specialize in it.

Greetings! Have been finding this spider in our bedroom ~ we live just north of Hollywood in Orange County. I don't like to kill these creatures, but I want to know if it's a dangerous spider. I still have him in a jar since this morning. Would be happy to mail him to you if you collect them.

I have been cleaning closets and drawers and maybe I have disturbed a nest? Is there a prevention for spiders? Should I put a bug bomb in closet, drawers and under bed?

I have a few friends that have been bit by brown recluse and they still have big blue legs and scars and various problems since the bite.

Those were the only ones that looked like mine so now I'm very worried that it is the same kind of spider. I took from top side and under side, where I can see two yellow markings on under abdomen. I have other photos but these are the best.

I was looking at your 'brown widow' photos and I think you may have actually had a very young immature female black widow (apparently they start off brown with unusual markings and they become black with the signature orange-red hourglass at full maturity) that matured in your care. I'm not a spider expert or anything, I just found your site after I was on Wikipedia looking up black widows when I saw the fact about females going from brown to black during maturation.

I am curious to know what you did with the egg sack? Surely you didn't let it hatch in your house? The whole reason I was even looking up black widows is that some of my classmates and I got into a discussion about what would happen if you ate a black widow (assuming you weren't bitten in the process).
