"I have called on Nick to help me several times over the last several months.  He has done everything from fixing fences to refreshing my landscaping with absolute professionalism.  He is my "go-to" guy because he seems to be able to do anything.  He is efficient, punctual, affordable, and a problem solver.  My only reluctance in posting this recommendation is that he will become so busy that I won't be able get him as quickly as I might want to."

"Joe to the rescue! I was having the worst Monday ever. I knocked down my mailbox with my car this morning. Joe came right over and saved the day! He was prompt, polite, knowledge, friendly and courteous. I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. I now have a mailbox that I know will last many, many years. Thank you, Joe!!"

"Hired Feliciano Remodeling to replace part of a fence. They gave an honest quote and completed the job expertly. They made sure we were happy with the finished project. Our neighbor has already hired them for another fencing job and we have a few other projects we will be bringing them on for."

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

Scented mouse deterrents, like peppermint oil, can be effective in the short term. The pungent smells may temporarily repel mice, but they lose effectiveness as the scent fades or mice get used to it. The main drawbacks are frequent reapplication and the fact that these deterrents don't address the root cause of the infestation, such as entry points or food sources. While they can be part of a broader strategy, scented deterrents alone are rarely enough to eliminate a mouse problem.

Squirrels hate not having access to secure shelter or food sources. Your best line of defense is to make your property less attractive by removing access to these things. There are chemical squirrel repellents, but these have mixed success. According to Pennsylvania State University, you can apply products containing the bittering agent denatonium saccharide to a squirrel's favorite fence, tree, or roof spots. However, you need to reapply repellents regularly, which aren’t scientifically proven effective.

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Like many other rodents, squirrels can be a little difficult to get rid of (especially in the case of an infestation), but the best approach is to make the place as unattractive to squirrels as possible. If you do have an infestation inside your home, then professional help may be necessary so you can lay as many traps as possible. 

For the most part, goats are friendly and won’t charge at you, but there are exceptions to this rule, as there are with any animal handling practices. Typically, goats don’t attack unless they feel threatened. Avoid cornering or rough handling goats to avoid getting head-butted, bitten, or kicked, and always supervise goats when they’re near children or pets.
