"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

DIY removal of birds or bats is not recommended due to safety risks and potential legal protections for certain species. While simple prevention methods can be done yourself, actual removal and control of an infestation should be handled by professionals who are familiar with safe, humane, and effective techniques.

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.

They can have a deterrent effect on birds to some extent. The reflective surfaces of these objects, such as aluminum foil strips, CDs, or reflective tape, create flashes of light and movement that can startle or confuse birds temporarily. However, some birds can become accustomed to these visual disturbances over time and might adapt their behavior accordingly. For a more sustained solution, combining shiny objects with other deterrent methods shared here is often beneficial for creating a more comprehensive and effective strategy for bird control.

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.

Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them. 

Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.
