Just curious what you guys charge for cutouts.    I have started doing cutouts in Kentucky and have been charging by the hour.   Is this what you do?    If so what do you charge per hour or do you do it by the job.    thnaks

i don't do them.  that's why i'm spreading the word on this one. 
i was in a conversation earlier this week on a Facebook page and one person said the rate starts at 300 dollars.  it wouldn't be worth it to me.  time is money and it takes a lot of time to do most cutouts.

Average cutout takes 4-8 hours to do a clean job. I charge  4-1000.00 depending on location of hive  and the type of home and area I'm in. What every the market will allow plus if its a business that is going to 1099 me its higher .

i kind of figured, it's a long drive for me too and it's also in a 100 year old church.  none of that sounds like fun.

Thanks for the response.    I charge $100 a hour with a $300 minimum.  Of course a business is charged more.  I have Insurance and got locally licensed.    I am with you guys on the time.   It always take 4+ hours and most of mine run around 8 or 9 hours.  I also let folks know up front if they have sprayed the hives that I am not interested.         I do swarm pick ups for free because I love feral colonies!!!

I do trap outs for $195 but will increase that to $295.   Waaaaaaaaaaay to much travel time back and forth to do.    I use a contract that is a mix of several contracts I found on line for both cutouts and trap outs.
