Craigslist is great for getting swarm calls.  It's probably one of the best sources... that and police/fire departments.

Don't forget Pest Control Companies....

The pest control companies are the best.

I had some business cards made for "bee removal" and hand them out to every pest control guy I see. Once you are on their list AND respond AND have happy satisfied customers, the calls will keep coming. Biggest thing I hear is "we called a couple of other beekeepers but they never answered the phone", after asking these keeps about it their reply is always "did not recognize the number so I don't answer".

Not bragging but did almost $10K in cut out and trap outs last year.  :cool:

Congratulations on your cutout success! One season was plenty for me as I was using cutouts for an avenue to obtain bees.... I will still do one occasionally.

Pest Control was my best experience also G3. I went to fire stations, police departments, even the 911 folks. But Pest Control Companies were the folks that got the results.

I get most of my calls from the Jacksonville bee club website. Lots of them. I do get a few from local pest control companies.
