Q: Is there anything I shouldn’t do when trying to get rid of snakes?

• <div><p>Even if you have extreme ophidiophobia (fear of snakes), don&rsquo;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. </p><p>Plus, you're putting yourself at greater risk using these techniques if it goes wrong and the now-angry snake is venomous.</p></div>

Q: How long does a pest control service last?

• <div><p>A treatment from a pest control service can last anywhere from<b> 3 to 6 months</b>, depending on the type of treatment, what pest it&rsquo;s treating, and what environment you live in. This is why pest control service companies often offer packages where they come out multiple times a year to apply treatment to the outside or inside of your home. </p></div>

Q: Can badgers benefit the environment?

• <div><p>Yes, badgers can benefit the environments they live in. As they dig and feed, they carry and disperse seeds, which helps plants spread and grow. They also build tunnels that other species, like rabbits and foxes, can move into. However, these benefits may not be desirable on your property, and badger removal may be preferable.</p></div>

Q: Can you get rid of badgers naturally?

• <div><p>Badgers have a strong sense of smell, so it&rsquo;s possible you can deter them with strong scents, such as applying citronella oil to the bottom of your fence, adding crushed scotch bonnet peppers sprinkled throughout your garden, or mixing both of these into a solution to spray around your home and garden.</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.

"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."
