"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.

With freezing temperatures finally upon us and a neighborhood with a squirrel population explosion afoot, we found ourselves with a pesky, persistent squirrel h***-bent on chewing its way into our attic via the roofline just under our gutters.  It was a corner of the house too tight for us to fully reach and effectively secure from inside the house, and too high and dangerous for us to reach from a ladder outside.  It was clearly a job to be done ONCE and RIGHT, A JOB FOR PROFESSIONALS.  Bewildered by the chewing and persistence, I left a message for Mr. Merritt on Wednesday, January 12.  He called me back within a few hours.  He was a delight to speak with.  He sent technicians Ray and CJ out early (8:30AM) the next morning, January 13th.  They had all the right equipment and expertise.  The hole was confirmed vacant.  They stuffed it with steel wool and shored up the hole with aluminum sheeting and screwed it on tight.  For the first time in about 5 days I could relax and not worry about listening for that awful chewing sound, neither running out of my house nor sticking my head out our attic window to shoo-away that darned squirrel.  These men did a great job.  The condition of our fascia board was in very good shape (not rotted or in bad shape to start with), so it was just unfortunate that the squirrel chose THIS SPOT to work so hard to get in.  We could not have done the job ourselves, safely or as efficiently as these gentlemen did.  They knew what materials to use, and they had it all ready to install.  They were able to a**** the situation and provide a remedy that would work well for us.  The job was done in about 45 minutes.  The charge was perfectly reasonable and I would certainly call them again if I had another problem.  I would also recommend them to everyone.

"This company was outstanding to work with and I plan to continue using their services.  They had no "coupon effect" (bad service for a bargain price) and have totally taken care of any pest problems in my house.  The basement, although refinished, has always tended to draw spiders and other multi-legged things, and other than occasionally seeing one dead, they have totally stopped being a problem.  Every previous year I've had ants invade my kitchen when the warm weather comes, and this year I haven't seen a single one.  They call to schedule service and are totally accomodating to a change in plans.

"Contractor was on time and very professional. They cleaned my chimney and inspected my other flues. The only thing I did not appreciate was; they took my main heat apart and then told me there were a birds nest blocking the chimney/flue. They turned off the heater and told me they could not turn it back on because of the blockage. I called the folks who installed my heater. They checked it out, removed the few branches and turned the heater back on. It took about 10 minutes. The estimate for the repairs, as Champion saw it, came to over $3000.00. I don't doubt that their apprasial of the sisution, this is a very old home and it needs lots of work and I do plan to get some of the things done in the near future, as I can afford them-still my wife and I did not like being without heat for a night.

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

You can take multiple approaches to keep animals out of your edible landscape. You can use natural repellents such as mint and cayenne pepper to deter them from your garden. You can also build a fence (or opt for a privet hedge) or keep the most enticing plants in a sectioned-off area. The most efficient method of keeping your four-legged guests at bay is to determine what animal it is and create a customized plan for them. 

It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:

  • Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.

  • Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.

When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.

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.

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

No single deterrent will work 100 percent of the time, so we suggest combining deterrents to ensure your seed has the best possible chance to grow. Using bird netting over your seed, with physical deterrents like mylar tape coupled with hanging bird feeders at the edges of your growing area—and removing any bird’s nests, if possible—will give your seeds the best possible chance for success.
