"It went very well. The trapping was very successful. Over two weeks six raccoons were trapped and I was happy that the animal were treated carefully. Great service with nice people. Sean was great."

"On Saturday, we found a snake in the back yard who looked like he went under our house behind the a/c unit - next to our doggie door (yikes). After speaking on the phone with David who was a great communicator, he investigated with his manager and found they could not go under our house (we have a manufactured home with a 2-3 foot crawl space) but they could come out and put sticky traps which have worked for them in the past. Javier and Jorge arrived at 6pm on a Saturday night - great service last minute on the weekend which I really appreciated as I have a small dog and couldn't let him in the yard. They thoroughly checked our yard and the yard next door - and the a/c unit next to the house and set out 2 traps. Unfortunately the traps did not work, I checked the next morning and one was covered with sand from the wind (here at Windy Point) and the other caught a mouse and it took 5 hours for him to die which was awful. Have not seen the snake since and am being extremely cautious when we go out. We believe the snake, beige in color, was probably not venomous but we no nothing about snakes. It was $90 which for a Saturday night I was fine with paying. My only con was the traps didn't work for me and my snake. I greatly appreciate Pest Control Solutions who was the only company I could find that would come out for snakes. I had never had this experience and didn't know what to do so called our property management, Animal Control, my current pest control company, and several others - and no one would come - EXCEPT PEST CONTROL SOLUTIONS!! Oh when they arrived we recognized Javier as the same person who had come out 3 years ago and sealed the bottom of our house from mice. Great service once again Javier thank you."

"The introductory meeting went very well. The representative, Stephan, was very professional, arrived on time and had a professional appearance. He asked good questions , so to understand the extent of our rodent house mates and wanted to see all areas of the house inside and out. He completed a thorough inspection and educated me with his findings and clearly proposed what his company could do to remove the mice. We signed up and are looking forward to being mouse free!"

"The work could not have gone better. An inspector came out for an estimate the day I called, and arranged to return the next day. The bees were safely relocated and the repairs completed in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend "Bee Catchers" to anyone in need of bee removal."

"All of the Hydrex people I spoke with were great. I called 5 minutes before they were closing up for the day on Saturday and they were having some computer issues, but the woman on the phone assured me she'd have someone to us on Monday. I called to confirm Monday and sure enough she said someone would be out in about an hour. Jorge showed up about an hour later as scheduled. We walked around the entire house, inside and out, and he pointed out the many places those little freeloaders could get into the crawl spaces. He came up with a plan, gave me a flat price that included follow-up visits to remove the weekly catches and make sure he got them all. He came back two days later just as he said he would. He sealed up every potential accessway. Then he returned for the follow-ups, calling each time the day before to confirm and ask if I had heard the little bums scurrying around (I had not). When he was delayed once, he called to let me know he would be late. In all I found Jorge and the office staff to be courteous, professional, easy to work with, and stayed in communication with me throughout the process. A+ work!"

His son, Robert B. Loibl, Jr., began working and learning from his father after school and on Saturdays. He later started the Lloyd Pest Control Company in San Diego, and was a partner with his father in L & N Pest Control. He also started the Ant-B-Gone Products Company in Los Angeles, California, and then the Pest Control Service Company and Hydrex Pest Control Co., Inc. in Los Angeles, California in 1946. Robert Jr. spent his life paving the way to say good riddance to pests.
As well as developing a very successful state wide franchise with Hydrex Pest Control, he also held a number of patents. He invented the B-Gone series of pest poisons that many remember, a vermin exterminator, and the Pestron machine for producing insecticidal vapor. He developed many of the methodologies used today.  He was committed to keeping where we live, work and play safe and healthy places. He grew his company with men committed to his standards. They are family men, many of whom have p

"I contacted all pest pros the beginning of April because of a dead smell coming from my attic. I also had flies coming out of there. The inspector Alex went into the attic and removed dead rat from a trap that Terminix left behind. I signed a contract, though I thought was  a little pricey at the time. With all the hard work that these guys did, I now feel that it was money well spent. I just had my last check up yesterday and there were no rats in the traps and am no longer hearing noises in my walls. My house has been nice and cool with the new insulation that was put in. GREAT JOB TO ALL PEST PROS!

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

While you may be hearing squirrels running around your attic at night, these animals are usually more active during the day. If you hear scratching sounds in your attic at night, it’s mostly likely a mouse, raccoon, or bat. Investigate your roof, attic, and other entrances to your home to find signs that indicate the presence of squirrels or other pests.

You can remove groundhogs yourself using a DIY approach of rags soaked in ammonia, or you can purchase and set a trap for the groundhog. These low-cost methods are easy to implement, but you should ensure that you comply with local laws and regulations concerning animal trapping and release. You can also hire an experienced professional to remove groundhogs from your yard.

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.

Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk’s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren’t enough to wash it away.

If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don’t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it’s time to make a careful retreat.
