Q: What is a natural way to repel bears?

• <div><p>Using chemicals with harsh odors is a natural way to repel bears. While the animal&rsquo;s strong sense of smell is an asset in the animal kingdom, it&rsquo;s a weakness here. Simply place bleach or ammonia in a bucket and leave it outside day or night. Ironically, bears also dislike the smell of pine, so you can use pine oil or a pine-based cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaning products with fruit or citrus smells, however.</p></div>

Q: Are professional treatments safer for families and pets?

• <div><p>Our experts prioritize safe, family-friendly treatments, minimizing risks while managing pests effectively.</p></div>

Q: Do coffee grounds keep deer away?

• <div><p>There are quite a few opinions regarding using coffee grinds to keep deer out of your garden, with many people convinced of this method. It makes sense that it could work considering deer have a strong sense of smell and likely do not like the smell of coffee grounds. However, there&rsquo;s no hard evidence supporting the notion that coffee grounds keep deer away, but it may be worth trying.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove animals myself?

• <div><p>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. </p><p>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. </p></div>

Excellent work! He did the fences and wooden gate. He redid the decking on our pool. He has painted, replaced doors, taken off wallpaper and replaced the decking on our gazebo. All work was done with precision. I highly recommend Art for any project.

They did a great job trimming a paloverde tree and two sago palms. They came and did a esimate the next day and trimmed the trees the following day. They cleaned up all the branches and hauled them away. A proffessional company, I will hire them again.

The owner and his foreman came by for the initial bid, and both were very personable and professional. The bid seemed fair and the time frame was great. The work was done quickly and the workers left no mess. We love our new fence and would highly recommend Central Valley Fence.

"I requested estimates from fencing contractors through Angi. Within hours Premier Fencing Co. called and setup an appointment to give me an estimate to replace my aging, dilapidated fence. The owner, Brian Koehn came up with a bid that was within our budget. The project was not an easy one. Posts had to be set adjacent to a bamboo stand and mature trees with large roots. Pipes used to reinforce existing rotted fence posts were difficult to remove. The finished project was exactly what I had envisioned. Top notch workman. Enjoyed the process. Would highly recommend this company for your fencing needs."
