"Modern did a thorough repair job including significant structural repairs on 2 levels of the home.   They documented their work extensively in photos (at my request) for any future  homeowner.  Modern was careful to tape off non-work areas of the home (for dust control) and they protected my newly redone hardwood floors with full tarp covers.   They cleaned up when job was complete and even repainted repaired areas.  They were proactive and treated for termites in one area, in case they returned!  I consider myself to be a discriminating consumer, Modern's work was superb.

"I've been working with Anthony (Tony) Merritt, Service Manager, since mid-July to rid my house of a family of groundhogs that dug a hole under my front walk and moved in!  Tony was immediately responsive to my late-night inquiry via e-mail and contacted me by phone the next morning to follow up. He was out the same day to set a trap and explain the process - which is still going on. These are humane traps that do not hurt the critter and once caught, they are removed to a distant area (so they can't find their way back to me) and set free.
Turns out the little guys had burrowed below ground and made a tunnel exiting at my next door neighbor's steps.  This meant an additional trap had to be set and both properties will require treatment to complete the job. So far we've captured 5 groundhogs and  2 baby opossums that were removed from the property  - and 1 unhappy squirrel that I set free! 
Each time I find a "guest"  that has dined on the bait, I call the office and someone comes out within 24 hours to pick up the  trap and set a new one. Tony is very responsive, even on weekends or when he is in another area, to make sure the animal does not sit in the trap very long.  When we are certain that no other groundhogs are still living under the house, the remaining work will be completed.
The original quote was $295.00 less a $25.00 discount for being an Angie's list member. I paid 1/2 when the job started and will not be required to make additional payment until completed.  Understandably, the quote was for my house only and now that another property is involved, that may change.  I am very pleased with AAA's work, the friendly and professional manner in which calls are handled, and the years of experience Tony brings to the job.

"Did termite control and fixed a roof tile. Took a little while to hear back from him but overall did a good job. He was truthful, knew what he was talking about, and was fairly priced."

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

Vinegar can keep some animals at bay, like deer, rabbits, foxes, and raccoons. Keep in mind that your household pets, like cats and dogs, also don’t like the smell of vinegar. You can soak rags in white vinegar and put them up around your garden beds to keep the pesky critters from eating your plants.

Birds are often averse to certain strong scents. For instance, the odor of predator urine, such as that from foxes or hawks, can deter them. Similarly, birds may dislike the pungent aromas of garlic, onions, and chili peppers. Essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and citrus can also be effective in keeping birds away. However, it's important to note that individual bird species might react differently to these scents, so it might require some experimentation to find the most effective repellent for your specific situation.

Many different types of animals like to build nests in attics. The types may vary depending on your home’s condition and location and you can prevent them by sealing off entry points and eliminating food sources. The most common critters that like to build nests in your attic include:

  • Raccoons

  • Bats

  • Squirrels

  • Mice

  • Rats

Depending on the size of your home and accessibility, expect professional pest inspections to take between 30 and 60 minutes. If you have a large property or limited accessibility, pest inspections may take longer. 

You can find a variety of humane bird repellent sprays online and at home improvement stores. However, if you want to try a DIY method that will keep birds away without harming them, mix some water, dish soap, and a few drops of peppermint oil and spray the area you want bird-free. Peppermint oil is a notoriously lovely smell for humans, but birds tend to avoid it.
