"Michael showed up when he said he would, He walked around the entire perimeter of our house evaluating both the foundation/sill area as well as soffit and chimney areas for any possible holes which mice could take advantage of. He then came inside the house (following Covid protocols) to evaluate the basement from the inside. He mentioned a few things of which we should be aware but there was nothing needing immediate action. He presented a service they could provide but never pressured us to do anything. He clearly explained everything that would be done as well as how mice generally gain access. I would recommend them to handle any sort of pest control."

"Had a resident raccoon and the kind gentleman came out and looked up in the alcove attic of my garage and breezeway and under my deck but the animal had gotten out. No fee and he assured me he'd be back if I needed him. I called later in the evening and he was at my home by 9am the next morning. I will definitely use him again."

"Think Green came out almost immediately when we heard noises coming from our master bedroom ceiling at night. The owner Lance went into our attic and did a full inspection of the area as well as a full inspection of the outside house and roof. He did an excellent job of making sure there was no way that any animal was getting in through the attic and that there was no gaps on the outside roof where they could be getting in. The noise was a one time deal and we never heard it again, but it was extremely comforting knowing that he came out and inspected to make sure that it wouldn't happen again. We highly recommend think green for their prompt service and great skills."

"I received a phone call from Mike within half a day of reaching out through HomeAdvisor. He quickly scheduled an appointment for early morning the same week to accommodate my timing. He set bait stations and a trap for mice and returned a month later to check for activity. He also provided a referral to another pest control service for bat removal after finding evidence of them in my attic. His service is friendly and efficient."

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Some stores sell smoke bombs to drive animals out of spaces, but we don’t recommend you use them, especially in an attic. The smoke can be toxic to humans or pets that may accidentally inhale it. Meanwhile, critters can easily escape the smoke by temporarily leaving the attic, only to return via their usual entry points after the smoke clears.

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Armadillos have very strong smelling capabilities to track down insects efficiently. But this superpower is actually a double-edged sword because their extreme sense of smell also causes them to be more sensitive and deterred by strong odors. To keep them at bay, you can place small amounts of substances like vinegar, ammonia, and mothballs around your property and near armadillo hotspots.

Although you can technically flood an armadillo out of its hole, it’s important to remember that this can be potentially fatal to the animal. Armadillos sleep between 16 and 18 hours a day, and if you perform this technique while they’re deep in sleep, they may not awake soon enough to save themselves.

There are DIY methods and store-bought pesticides available for the public to use. However, these pesticides also come with a risk, and you need to follow the directions correctly and take precautionary measures to prevent exposure to these chemicals. These methods may be an option for small pest problems, but you should call in a pest control specialist for persistent pests and infestations.

It’s debatable, but most will say either termites or bed bugs are the hardest to remove. When dealing with termites, you must find the central nest (as opposed to satellite nests) and exterminate the queen and all potential queens, which often takes the work of a specialist. Bed bugs, meanwhile, are incredibly hardy, good at hiding, and resistant to pesticides, so it takes very careful, very thorough work to get rid of them permanently.
