"The consultation was excellent! In a timely and very professional manner, Mr. Sweezy and his associate entered my home, introduced themselves and inquired of services needed. Having had squirrels in my attic before, I described the attic noises. They examined the entire attic and determined the sounds were possibly overgrown trees over the roof; no recent squirrel activity seen. Tree service is planned. Mr. Sweezy suggested, wait to see if the attic noises stop after the trees are trimmed; if not, call him at that time. No service fee required. I teared up because I greatly appreciate Mr. Sweezy's honesty. I highly recommend Nuisance Wildlife Control and will call them in the future, if needed. One week prior, another company came to my home and quoted $2,000 to rid attic of squirrels with a $99.00 service fee paid."

"My experience was amazing! The service i I received was more than what I expected. The technician was wonderful. I’m a widow, upon his arrival I told him I thought I saw a snake in my back yard. He immediately addressed that issue by attempting to look for the snake. He showed concerned about my safety in addition to taking care of the job he was hired to do. Will I use Home Advisor again? Yes I will!!"

"The technician was very knowledgeable, friendly and polite.  He treated multiple active carpenter bee holes around the facia and chimneys.  He came back a week later to seal the holes with caulk.  The bees disappeared almost immediately and have remained absent ever since.  A little pricey, but the result was what we hoped for.

"They are excellent and they did a great job.  We had a board that had got loose.  But we had got it fixed.  However, it was not done properly and they got it all fixed right.  They did a lot of work.  They sealed the entire roof line, removed the bats and birds and sealed up holes.  They came quickly and were very professional.  They explained everything.  They followed up and came back for two days to do all the job.  We were very pleased with them.  They came when they said they would."

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.

The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.

Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them. 

Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.

When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try: 

  • Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.  

  • Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away. 

  • Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.

If you’ve had a prior bat infestation or simply want to avoid having bats invade your home in the first place, there are a few steps you can take without the need for a pro. 

  • Seal entry points, such as where your chimney meets your house, or other gaps or holes exist.

  • Use bat deterrents like bright lights or ultrasonic devices to force them away from your home. 

  • Reduce bat attractions like standing water and bird nectar feeders inviting bats into your yard.

Keeping birds away from a porch can involve a combination of strategies. Start with cleaning your porch. Remove food, debris, and plants that may be attracting feathered friends. Afterward, install physical deterrents like netting or spikes. Next, top off your porch with a decoy or two—and owl or hawk works. When wondering how to keep birds off the porch, it is always best to use humane efforts that won't harm winged creatures or the environment.
