SML Home Repair & Nuisance Wildlife Control

Steve was hired by my property management team to take care of a squirrel invasion of our attic. He communicates clearly, arrives promptly, and went above and beyond in securing the attic. On his way to the attic, he noticed my door was hard to close and he fixed that for me as well! He arrived extremely prepared, and eradicated the issue in under a week—impressive!

He came the same day I called him and was able to find and get rid of the skunk in short order. He made some recommendations on how to neutralize the smell of the skunk spray which we employed.
He also installed an under ground stainless steel barrier around the perimeter of my Mom's bedroom to prevent any more critters from getting into the crawl space.
Steve was very responsive and very professional.

I was hearing noises in my attic, sounding like something larger than a mouse. Steve Lathrop was one of the three names given to me by the Department of Environmental Protection for licensed wildlife control folks in Manchester. I called him on a Wednesday, and he returned my call within an hour. He could have met me at the house the next day, but I wasn't available until Friday. He arrived promptly on Friday and set about doing a very thorough inspection of the outside of the house (despite it being a rainy, windy day) and the entire inside of the house, especially the attic and basement. He pointed out a few areas that might be susceptible to wildlife entry and made suggestions on how I might close them up most effectively. He identified the most likely entry point for what he suspected to be a squirrel or squirrels at the edge of the porch roof. He recommended setting traps to allow the squirrel(s) to get out but not get back in, and suggested leaving this in place for a few days to make sure all the critters were out before he closed up the hole.
Between the inspection and setting up the traps, he spent about three hours that first day. He returned periodically over the next few days to check on the traps, and then, after a few days, he closed up the hole with some aluminum flashing. He also fixed some other problem areas along the porch roof line to prevent future squirrel problems, working another couple of hours.
Steve Lathrop was very professional. He explained everything he planned to do and how much it would cost in advance. I would definitely use his services again!
