I remove nuisance wildlife such as raccoons, armadillos, rodents, etc. humanly from homes and properties. I have lower prices than the larger companies along with better service. I have 20 years experience working with wildlife. Inspection of your home, roof or property is free of charge.

"I waited many weeks to post this, to make sure I didn't post out of anger. I've used Blake for many yrs. Il've literally paid him thousands. I am posting our last correspondence. Blake didn't inform me that he didn't have his cameras until AFTER I agreed to quote and AFTER he was finished for the day. That concerned me, as he usually has them up for a few days, sometimes a wk, to make sure squirrels are allout. He came back 2 days later and closed the holes. *pictured are his 'fix'. After a few days of concern, I called to ask about the $550 charge without cameras. He stated, "that's what I charge". I said that was ok. If he felt it was fair, I'd respectfully accept it. In less than 3 wks, another hole was made. When I let him know, I was shocked at his response. I own my own business, and wouldn't still be here after 26yrs if I treated clients this way. Anyway. did some research and found how easy (and inexpensive!) To get your own materials and do it yourself! (' help others on how, if you'd like to know). I didn't realize that he had been happily patching rotten wood, to ensure himself continues business. Blake seems very nice and soft spoken, Beware."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Rats, mice, ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and bed bugs can all cause damage to your house, but termites are among the most destructive. These pests make their way into your home and feed on the wood, weakening its structure. They can also damage outdoor structures, such as decks or fences. You should hire an exterminator immediately if you spot signs of termites or other pests.

The best scorpion repellents are strong scents such as lavender, cedar, peppermint, and cinnamon, so applying essential oils around entry points can help deter them from coming near your home. They also tend to avoid well-lit areas, instead seeking out dark, cool, and damp places where they can hide out during the day.

You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous. The amount of bees that can live in a hive depends on the type of bee, but honey bees can have up to 80,000 bees living in a hive. People who are allergic to bees can have life-threatening reactions from a single sting. So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.

Moisture issues caused by leaky pipes, improper drainage, and poor airflow create environments that are ideal for termites to thrive in. Dampwood termites prefer water-damaged wood while subterranean termites require moist environments to survive. Climate can have an impact as well, with termites preferring to live in warm and humid climates with mild temperatures year-round. However, termites are present in every state in the United States, with the exception of Alaska.

Legal considerations include adherence to local and federal wildlife protection laws, particularly for species that might be protected or endangered.
