Not sure about Maine, but here in Fla., we often apply treatments to 
areas where swarms have vacated. If not, a cluster of bees can remain 
for several days, getting more agitated as food stores are consumed. It 
becomes a public health threat, especially for a municipality. We are 
frequently called to such sites after beekeepers remove a swarm and 
refuse to return and clean up the leftovers.

Except for a label I'm unfamiliar with, it looks like the pest control 
company did just fine to me... of course I am one of those despised 
"Pest Control Operators". boo!
