Q: Can I reuse live rat traps to save money?

Q: Can an animal come down the chimney?

• <div><p>Yes, in some cases if your damper is left open, animals can come down your chimney. In these instances, it&rsquo;s more likely that they have fallen in while looking for a safe spot rather than entered your house intentionally. Leaving your damper closed or installing a chimney cap can prevent animals from coming inside.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to be worried about foxes passing on rabies?

• <div><p>Foxes can catch rabies. However, it is rare, and even rarer for them to pass this disease on to humans. If you do see a fox in your vicinity acting strangely, disorientated, having seizures, or randomly trying to bite, contact your local animal control, police, or Department of Environmental Control. And if you are scratched or bitten by an animal you suspect has rabies, seek medical treatment immediately.</p></div>

Q: What happens if squirrels get in your attic?

• <div><p>If squirrels set up a home in your attic, they can cause considerable damage. It&rsquo;s not uncommon for them to chew holes in your roof, siding, or joists, and they can eat through electrical wiring. They might also travel to other parts of your home or into your wall cavities. Not to mention all that bacteria-filled feces and urine they spread around. </p></div>

Bad concrete work, plants and trees all look dead. Section of fence they took out to get into the back yard was not put back correctly. Looks like it is about to fall. Amongst so many other things you m not happy with. Way over priced for the quality of work provided.
