Title: First removal of 2012!
Post by: gardeningfireman on March 20, 2012, 12:43:27 PM
I can't believe it. It's only March and I am scheduled to do a removal on the 22nd already! Normally it is the end of April at least before removals are feasable up here. This colony is in a roof between the rafters. Shouldn't be too bad (I hope).Homeowner said they have been there five years. Talked to another woman yesterday whose daughter just bought a house that has a colony in a wall. I expect to hear from her any day. It's gonna be a GREAT year!! :-D

It does seem early doesn't it?
I have had several calls already. I finally got one close enough to go check out.
We just started seeing capped drone cells on Saturday.

It wasn't until April last year for the first call.

Good luck with the removal.

Joe
