Get yourself listed on this and other websites as someone who captures swarms. Calling the city animal control is a good way to do it as well.

I get 99% of mine from animal control and the county ext. office.

An add on craigslist has led to a lot of cut outs for me, and a few swarm calls, i think i get a lot of responce for the cut outs because so few people around me keep bees, and the ones that do wont touch a cut out.

I'm working on a swarm removal site. I'm accepting listings now. When complete, it should be top ranking in searches.

My bee club has a website with a swarm list. Pest control companies, & police departments have referred people to me using the clubs web site.

Don't forget the Community Service section on Craigslist. I got a call yesterday from an ad that I placed on that site.

Barry, I could not put my info in. Am I doing something wrong?

The animal control and county extension offices are great suggestions. I would also suggest you contact your local 9-1-1 dispatch center (please call their business number- not 9-1-1!!) and ask to talk to a supervisor. Tell them who you are and what you do. Ask that they put you on their call list for bee removal. Virtually all dispatch centers have a list like that and people almost always call 9-1-1 when there is a swarm near by (trust me-people freak out). They would be the ones to know about a swarm even before animal control in many cases. I would also talk to your local fire department and give them the same information. Good luck!

In our small towns try the city halls, sherriffs office, conservation dept and local pest control guys, they dont like messing w/ bee's! anymore word of mouth gives me a few. So far 4 calls this season(2 where over 6 hrs away so I search the sites and foun folks closer!). Kinda slow this year so far.
