"We had a variety of pests at our Orange County property. The pests were entering from multiple openings in and around our condo attic. Some had even entered into our living area. TriCounty came in and assessed the situation and gave our HOA a couple options. TriCounty began the process by first closing all entry points. Next, they set traps and monitored any potential activity for 2 weeks. Once they confirmed there was no activity, they scheduled the complete removal of all debris including insulation. Once the debris was removed, they completely sanitized the entire attic and replaced with new insulation. We are completely satisfied with their attention to detail and their care for the cleanliness of our property and living area. I highly recommend TriCounty Trappers for any pest control and remediation."

"All I have to say is Rodent Control amazed me. We've had a rodent problem for quite some time now and we figured that we'd get it resolved, but we didn't want it done just by anyone. I did my research and Rodent Control caught my eye with their 5 stars on Yelp and I sent them a message. I got a reply right away spoke to the lovely lady in the office, Andrea. She told me exactly what they would do and how they could help get rid of the rodents, then we scheduled an evaluation that was very accommodating to my busy work schedule! Their representative Sam came out and was very knowledgeable and also very personable. He came and took a look at my property and informed me about what had to be done and gave me a quote. After their evaluation I had a few other companies come out just to keep my options open and I found myself coming back to Rodent Control because no one else could compare to their services to my liking. Not only that but no other company that had come out could compare to Rodent Control's customer service, they really want to help you the best way possible. I called Sam back and he was able to get his crew come out and do the job with me the following day. The crew came out and they did an amazing job. After a week or so their representative came out and took a look and made sure everything was okay. Let me say I have never slept so good in months until Rodent Control did their job! Their 5 stars are definitely earned and I would definitely recommend Rodent Control to anyone having rodents in their home if you want a good nights sleep."

"The vendor was great--responsive and attentive--and came out to look at the issue, which was a smell of a dead animal in the wall of my garage. Unfortunately, tragically, the analysis of the smell coming from the wall was completely wrong. There was not a dead animal stuck in there--requiring, as suggested, nearly $7,000.00 worth of sealing and whatnot. Rather, the smell was emanating from a bag of rotting fruit. It cost me no money to toss the fruit and I am beyond thrilled that I did not pay a penny to this vendor for useless work."

"Overall solid. I was willing to pay a little more for the peace of mind of getting the job done right. Since itâ s pest control, the work is not necessarily visible. The part that I was able to see, subterranean termite control (holes drilled and patched) looked goodâ clean, evenly spaced holes patched back."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Squirrels have a strong sense of smell and can be deterred by various scents they dislike. Effective options include peppermint oil, rosemary, garlic, cinnamon, white vinegar, coffee grounds, and predator urine. Squirrels also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based repellents a good choice for protecting specific areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a garlic and vinegar spray and apply it daily. Additionally, placing strong-smelling items like certain soaps or dryer sheets near where squirrels frequent can also be effective.

Badgers are nocturnal, which means they’re most active at night. This is when they leave their homes and go out in search of food. They’re also creatures of habit, so they will continue going back to the same places when they are active, as long as there doesn’t appear to be any danger.

Once the animals and their young are out of the house, remove the nest and locate any entry points. Some may be difficult to find because some animals can fit through very small holes. Once you’ve located as many entry points as possible, use materials such as metal or masonry to block off the entry. Ideally, you should choose materials that most animals cannot chew through. Create a one-way door or flap to allow animals to leave but not return. Additional methods include using repellants designed to make an area unappealing to the types of animals that find your home so inviting. 

If a coyote approaches you, never run away, even if it goes against your natural instinct. Make yourself look big, shout loudly, and throw something in the coyote's direction. Be persistent and continue these scare tactics until they move away. Then, you should move away slowly, always facing the coyote.

This varies based on the circumstance. Chemical-based pest control baits and poisons are usually the most potent, but they are unsafe to use around children and pets, so they won’t be a fit for every household.

Safer alternatives, such as boric acid and food-grade diatomaceous earth, can work as well, though they should still stay out of reach. Aside from that, the best thing any DIY-er can do is make their place uninviting by sealing off entry points, eliminating clutter, and maintaining a clean home.
