Chris was a true professional and ridded us of a potentially hazardous situation!

Richard, What a "stroke of luck" talking to you the other day. Chris was a true professional and ridded us of a potentially hazardous situation with at least 50 queen yellow jackets occupying a subterrainian nest that we had on our property. As I mentioned to you, I did not want to "spray" and kill them if they are beneficial but Chris educated us on the species and performed an outstanding job. The only thing he may have done wrong is "underbid" the project. Thank you so much - you have a great employee and, apparently, a superb company and website!!

Your quick response and reassurance brought much peace of mind!

Hi Gail –

Thank you so much for following up on this! The bees were gone by the time the sun came up on Monday – it had begun to lightly rain, and they were near the top of a small tree that didn’t offer much cover, so I assumed they took off to find drier shelter.

Richard’s quick response and reassuring voicemail message brought much peace of mind. It’s obvious from your website that you folks really know your stuff, and I will turn to you again if I have any more unwanted visitors. I’ve already recommended the website to many co-workers and friends.

With much appreciation,

Kim

The Villages, Fla., Near Fatal sting victim thanks us for saving her life!

Richard,

You will never know what you meant to Pegge & I. She did suffer, but I had faith that she would get thru this. She was so happy you stopped by at Hospital to ask about her. I hurt all nite but having faith she would be OK!

Two people were special, God and you. She hurt at hospital , they really helped her.

Three bees were at the steps this morning, but no sight of any this afternoon.

I'm sure you and your wife hurt when any child hurts like Pegge did. You just have to pray & have faith & God hears you!

I want you to know you were a wonderful help to us. Your experience with people getting bit helped.

I hope we see you again to meet you!

God is Good! You have to have a good wife when you come home late!

Sincerely, Lucille & Pegge

(note from Entomologist Richard Martyniak... This event occurred last fall, where Pegge was stung by ONE yellow jacket & suffered an allergic reaction causing very low blood pressure and unconsciousness. As an entomologist and stinging insect expert, I'm aware of the seriousness of Bee and Wasp stings. All of our trucks carry sting kits, and I administered first aid until Lake-Sumter Rescue arrived. It's quite likely that this event would have been fatal had I not been trained & prepared for such an event. As it was, Pegge was able to play golf the next morning!  I will be posting a full story soon. --RMM)

Goats are now safe again!

Richard:

I just wanted to drop you a line to say how much I appreciated your removing that hornets nest from my woods.  It was quite remarkable how you did that and I really am very grateful.

Cindy Rosenfeld

PS The goats also wish to express their appreciation.  Now they can go back out there.

I would highly recommend this company and Richard to all my friends and family!

I just wanted to write a letter of Thanks to Richard for coming out and taking care of my bee problem! Richard was very pleasant to speak with and was full of knowledge concerning my situation. Thank you for all your help with the bees plus taking the time to inform me incase anything else arises in the future. I would highly recommend this company and Richard to all my friends and family! Thank you!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Dear Sirs,

I wish to thank you profusely from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and consideration in your prompt response to my urgent need for help with bees infestation in a tree at the front entrance of my house.

You were referred to me by the City of Palm Coast. Your very professional & courteous Miss Gail Burton answered the phone and upon my desperate assertions that I was concerned about possible harm from the bees but was unable to afford the cost, very sympahtetic & humanely she told me she would consult with her boss, Mr. Richard Martyniak, & would call me back.

Within the hour, she called back to state the Mr. Martyniak had agreed to help, and he would have a technician stop by tommorrow, July 16th for treatment.

You cannot imagine how wonderful it is to find such kind and considerate people to come to the aid when there is legitimate need. I would have been in an anxious situation, not been able to afford taking care of the problem that could cause harm to others.

I reiterate my heartfelt thanks, and may the Lord bless your organization, and particularly Miss Gail Burton, Mr. Richard Martyniak & Mr. Asheton Hoverkamp, who are true professionals and free of greed.

Sincerely,

Lydia Stannard

Thanks for educating our Residents!

Dear Richard,

Thank you so much for participating in Palm Coast's Arbor Day. As usual, your tent was a big hit! I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to educate residents. I hope we will see you next year. Once again, thank you for everything!

Sincerely,

Carol Bennett, Urban Forester
City of Palm Coast, Florida

RMM note: Thank YOU! Carol! We always enjoy participating in your fine event and meeting many of Palm Coast's citizens and educating about stinging insects found in the area. Many visitors were astonished to learn that African Honey Bees, (aka Killer Bees), are now encountered in Palm Coast and Flagler County.

I enjoyed looking at the pics on your site, and found one of a young citizen looking at some of our Yellowjacket nests (don't worry, not live yellow jackets!!) on display.

We did bring an observation hive of live honey bees, and samples of honey bee comb and of course..tasty honey from Winter Park Honey!

We also were pleased to find our friends from the Jacksonville Zoo, including Carl and his feathered friend:
