"Very pleased with the response time and professionalism of Fox. He is very passionate and knowledgeable around everything pest control. We are building a house and had a raccoon that decided to move in. Fox arrived next day, set traps and removed Raccoon next day. He continued to follow up over the next few weeks to ensure there were no additional raccoons in the house. Anyone looking for pest/rodent/animal control, look no further."
"I originally obtained Quickpro for a termite inspection during a home loan process. I figured and hoped that they could fit me in that week. To my surprise Curt fit me in at the end of his work day to make it happen for me in my tight timeline. On top of that he was early, VERY professional, polite, and detailed. I did not have a pest control service before this, but I will use Quickpro from now on for my pest control needs. I HIGHLY recommend Quickpro, service like no other!"
"Chris came recommended to my and it was a great recommendation. His communication, service el, and follow-up are too notch. Since using him for rodent control, I have used his handy man services for other projects and am equally happy with the results."

"My wife and I decided to go with Elevate Home Solutions for our bat removal issue. This was before and after we called Truly Nolan to give us a quote and assessment of the work they will be doing. Taylor and Andrew went above and beyond what we expected, and we are grateful to have connected with them out of all the other companies we could have chosen to do this project. They are truly a one stop shop company. They made this â wildâ and unexpected situation simple to deal with. Not only did they remove the bats, Elevate cleaned and deconned all contaminated areas to include a pressure wash and yard management. I was out on this day, and came home to what felt like a new front patio, which is primarily where our wildlife issue was. We trust them, and weâ ll definitely be sending these guys the Batman signal for our next home solution projects. ThanksTaylor and Andrew, hats off fellas!"
"What nice professional men! I feel they went above and beyond for me. I used them about six months ago and they rectified my rodent problem quickly. The a few a days ago I noticed a new rodent problem and called them they came out same day fixed the problem where the rat came in. They searched my garage for the dead rat, but mt garage has too much stuff in it . They did offer to come back if I needed them too. They are the best!"
Identifying the specific animal running on your roof at night can be challenging without direct observation. Common nocturnal roof visitors include raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and rats. Raccoons are bigger and can create heavy thumping sounds. Squirrels are agile and may produce rapid scurrying noises. Opossums tend to move stealthily with less noise. Rats can make scratching or gnawing sounds. To determine the culprit, look for signs like footprints, droppings, or damaged areas near the roof. For accurate identification, consult a pest control professional or set up wildlife cameras near potential entry points.
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.
When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try:
Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.
Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away.
Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.
Look for goose repellents that contain the ingredient methyl anthranilate. This is a natural chemical found in grape juice. In human food, it’s often used as grape flavoring. With geese, it’s highly irritating. Grape Kool-Aid contains methyl anthranilate, the active ingredient in most bird repellents. It won’t harm geese, but it will deter them.
Yes, in some cases if your damper is left open, animals can come down your chimney. In these instances, it’s more likely that they have fallen in while looking for a safe spot rather than entered your house intentionally. Leaving your damper closed or installing a chimney cap can prevent animals from coming inside.
