"All Pro Pest Control responded immediately and came right out to quote mitigating a termite infestation. Keith inspected our issue and explained his findings thoroughly. He was able to treat it the same day with a human and pet safe product. He was efficient, clean, and thorough. I would recommend Keith and All Pro to anyone."

"The pro who came did an inspection of vulnerable places in my home where rats could potentially enter. When he located those sites, he was ready with all the supplies he needed to prevent rodents from getting in. He was well-prepared. The area behind my stove was particularly vulnerable because the usual dry wall had been replaced with this fibrous insulation type of product. Easy for rats to chew through, like eating shredded wheat. He removed that fibrous board and installed a very heavy mesh material and secured it soundly. He took care of all the entry sites equally well. And he showed me each site for me to see how secure and rat-proof the were. He was efficient, never took a break and I am so well- pleased with his work. And results. No Rats since he completed the job."

"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!"

"We had raccoons in our attic for over a month, and Steve was absolutely wonderful to work with! He was very consistent about coming out, checking on the situation, and trying multiple different types of traps until we found what worked. Steve was always professional, knowledgeable, and had great communication throughout the entire process. His persistence really paid off. Once we found the right trap setup, we caught all three within just five days! We truly appreciate how dedicated Steve was to solving our raccoon problem and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with unwanted wildlife. Thank you, Steve!"

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Deer are most active around dawn and dusk. Most species of deer are crepuscular, meaning they are often awake during twilight hours. As far as the time of year goes, you can encounter deer in any month, as they don’t hibernate. They are most active during warmer months when food is the most abundant.

Deers have an extraordinarily strong sense of smell, which means they can react strongly to certain scents. Lavender, garlic, mint, cinnamon, clove, and human hair are some of the most offensive scents for deer. You can try mixing some of these pungent oils or scents with a spray mixture and adding them to your garden.

Unlike for rats and mice, poisonous baits and fumigants aren’t a legal option for dealing with squirrel invasions. So, don’t set any traps up using standard rodenticides. Remember that you typically need a permit for trapping and relocating squirrels found on your property. Some states even specify the types of traps you need to use.

You’ll want to call a licensed and insured wildlife removal company that offers:

  • Full property inspection—indoor and outdoor

  • Proper animal identification

  • Written management plan with follow-up visits included

  • Humane removal techniques

  • Preventative exclusion measures

If it’s an emergency and you can’t wait, you’ll need to contact an emergency animal control company near you.

Some suggest mothballs as a deterrent for iguanas, but they are ineffective and harmful. Mothballs contain chemicals like naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, which are toxic to humans and animals, including iguanas. The fumes can cause respiratory problems, skin irritation, and other health issues. Moreover, using mothballs outdoors is not recommended, as they contaminate soil and water sources.
