"For several evenings there were loud scratching noises in our attic. All City Animal Trapping determined they were entering our house through the crawl space and climbed up to the attic through a space next to the fireplace. A family of raccoons were found. Two traps using peanut butter were put outside our house. The first evening two babies were trapped. A few days later the mother was trapped
The employees were very friendly and gave us a bargain price to get rid of the family of racoons tearing up our attic and creating sleepless nights.
We recommended All City Animal Trapping to our neice who lives in Culver City Her dog was going crazy barking at the floor and she discovered the covering for the crawl space was damaged. Within 2 days a giant opossum was caught. Same excellent, friendly and efficient service.

"Rodent Control Inc did an amazing job from start to finish. The inspection was thorough, and everything was explained in a way that made it easy to understand. I really appreciated how patient they were with all of my questions and how quickly they were able to schedule us. The free inspection gave me peace of mind right away. When the crew came out, they arrived on time and worked efficiently, finishing exactly when they said they would. Everyone was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. I couldn?t be happier with the service and would definitely recommend Rodent Control Inc to anyone looking for pest control done right."

"Joel was extremely pleasant to work with.  During the initial estimate, Joel did a detailed walk through and inspection of the property, showed us photos and videos of the damages and gave us options on what we could do.  On the day of the fumigation, his team arrived promptly and worked efficiently to get the house tented and locked up, and did the same during the removal.  For the repair work, Joel was extremely dedicated to getting the work done, and when work exceeded the estimated time, he offered to continue the work on a Sunday for us just to get it done.  We also did additional service based on Joel's inspection post treatment and did the subterranean termite treatment as well.  Once again, Joel did a thorough inspection and showed us pictures and videos of where the damages were and our options available.
Worth noting is we also had other contractor work in progress in the house, and although Joel mentioned he would be able to perform the same services as well, he checked out their work and gave us comments on the good work they were doing (being up to code, cleaned up in the crawl space etc), and never once negatively criticized them in hopes of us seeking his service instead.  This really showed his professionalism in my books.  
Overall, I would definitely recommend Joel.  I had a lower quote on the overall project, but i'm glad i went with Joel's company.

"Excellent job over several weeks. Consistently on time, efficient and fast, always cooperative and pleasant to work with. Various size crews from one to three depending upon the job to be done. We had extensive needed work done. We feel the cost was reasonable though fairly expensive at a total of $9,800 plus $39 for the initial inspection. We have a single story, 2,500 sq. ft. house with attached garage and rear separate patio enclosure. First, a licensed inspector went over the exterior, the interior, the huge unimproved attic, the garage interior and separate patio enclosure. He provided us with a detailed plan view identifying the many visual and suspected locations of both subterranean and drywood termites as well as dry rot. Two different kinds of environmentally approved chemical treatment were used for the two types of termites. They treated all around the outside of the house by boring holes every 12 inches through the concrete slab and inside through the wall and windowsill to inject for subterraneans, sprayed for drywood termites in attic, garage inside and all exterior fascias/shiplap/corbels along with patio wood posts. Cost $3,200. Two year warranty. In the attic they cleaned out all insulation along with field rat droppings, vacuumed, treated rafters for drywood termites, spray sanitized, closed some air duct open spots, checked for and sealed rat access point, re-installed new higher rated insulation (R38), set rat traps which were inspected several times over about three weeks & no rats found. Cost $4,800. They removed and replaced damaged wood members, splicing in new wood or filling areas with minor damage with wood filler and prime painted these areas. Cost$1,800."

"I wish they had a 10 rating. PLEASE read this before you choose a pest control company. I had a little problem with mice. Now the mice weren't in the attic or foundation, but one of my cute little kitties was bringing them in as gifts for me. Four within a matter of minutes. All alive!!!! I always pick 3 companies when I need something done. I had two come out and Pestcal was the third. Now, you have to understand, unfortunately, when many contractors come to the house and see a little old lady, they think they can take advantage of her. The first company that come out, and they have great ratings here, told me I had rats in the attic, that there were droppings every- where in my house and that the job would cost $6,000. The second company came out and I was told the attic was fine, no problems up there but I had several areas in the foundation that needed fixing. To do the whole job would be $2,500. Then came the third company, Pestcal. Norman was great!! He actually checked the attic, not just poked his head in....no problem up there. Then he checked the perimeter outside...couldn't find any issues out there either. He said there were a couple of areas that could use some attention, but nothing major. Maybe a couple of hundred dollars. FINALLY, AN HONEST COMPANY!!!! Their priority is doing the right thing for the customer. This is the kind of company you want to hire for any work you need done at your home. I'm not going to name the other companies for several reasons, but I don't think Yelp allows that. I just want to reassure you that this is a legitimate review. As you can see by the other reviews the customers are extremely happy with Pestcal."

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Droppings from cockroaches, squirrels, mice, bats, and birds can resemble rat poop, making it easy to confuse one for another. Mouse droppings are smaller and more pointed, cockroach droppings resemble tiny black specks or ground pepper, and bat guano can look similar but usually crumbles into powder. Bird droppings sometimes have a similar shape, but often include white uric acid deposits. If in doubt, it’s best to consult a pest control professional for proper identification and removal.

Even if you have extreme ophidiophobia (fear of snakes), don’t try to shoot or kill them with a shovel. Besides being pretty cruel, killing snakes in most states is illegal unless your life is at risk and many species are protected. 

Plus, you're putting yourself at greater risk using these techniques if it goes wrong and the now-angry snake is venomous.

Pest control timelines depend on what services are being provided, size and type of infestation, and size of your home. Some inspections can take an hour or more, while preventative treatments only take 30 minutes to complete. Basic spaying for a problem like roaches or termites can take about an hour for small homes, but much longer for large properties and infestations. Consult your pest control pro for a time estimate based on your situation.

The primary attractant for moles is food. With a powerful sense of smell, they seek out grubs, earthworms, ants, and other insects in the soil. Other factors can also draw them in, such as moist, loose soil which makes tunneling easier, so an overwatered lawn can be an invitation. Additionally, male moles may enter your yard to expand their territory or find a mate, and if a neighbor has a mole problem, it's possible for them to tunnel over to your property.

You don’t need heavy-duty chemicals to get rid of a bobcat. In fact, one of the most simple and effective methods of preventing bobcats from entering your property is by keeping your yard clear of overgrowth by trimming bushes and trees regularly. This eliminates potential hiding spots for a bobcat and makes them easier to spot in general.
