"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.

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

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. 

DIY treatments may help minor issues, but professionals provide long-term solutions and prevent recurrence.

It is possible, though unlikely, that a home insurance policy will help cover the costs of professional bat removal. However, some policies will chip in for guano removal and associated repairs, such as replacing drywall. Take some time to read the fine print of your homeowner’s insurance policy and call your provider to inquire about bat removal, guano removal, and related repairs.

The best time of year to remove bats is autumn until spring. In fact, many states have restrictions on bat removal, mandating it to start sometime in August and go up until May. For some states, the removal period stops in March. Your pest control pro should know of any restrictions and can help you pick an optimal time for removal.

Some of the plants listed above, like daffodils, are poisonous to many animals if eaten. But wild animals instinctively avoid them, for the most part. Household pets don’t always have the same survival instinct, which is why it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with common plants that pose a danger to cats and dogs.
