[Jeff Horwitz (jeff.horwitz]

Well, I just failed at email. Sorry everybody. Hugo,if you’re on here, apologies for screwing that up. I’ve definitely done a removal that didn’t stick before so I know the feeling.

Hey Eleanor —

I just spoke to Margaret about the Oakland extraction. The previous person who did the job was named Hugo and apparently the phone she had for him is disconnected. 

Obviously if the bees are coming back through the same hole they were getting through last year that’s a botched removal (it happens!). Before I give this woman a MUCH less expensive quote, I’m wondering if it might be possible for somebody who knows the membership roster well to get in touch with this guy and let him know he’s got a customer who needs follow up work done.

Does that make sense? I considered replying to your post asking if anybody knows a Hugo but it seemed better to be a little more discrete.

5950 McAndrew Dr, Oakland (off Hwy13). 

A year ago an expensive extraction was done. Person said he sealed it and filled it. But now another swarm has moved in.
