"Jason arrived within the planned time frame......I had asked him to please call when he was on the way, but he didn't.....Fortunately, we were pretty much ready for him.  Since we had been through this before (different technician), in the exact spot, we knew Jason would have to cut a hole in the wallboard between the studs.  He removed three live baby squirrels.  The mother had been coming in and out to tend to them, and she was not inside at the time.  Because of the height of this location, the squirrels wouldn't have been able to get out.  After removing the young squirrels, Jason checked out the point of entry (which we were aware of) and prepared an estimate on full treatment of our home which guarantees the work.  However, $2500 (includes 10% Angie's List) is a large expense.  We put in a call to our contractor who has done extensive work here, and he had his staff come and repair the point of entry for us.  At this time, we feel that is all we need to do since it appears to be the only spot. 
My reason for "B" in professionalism is that the gentleman in the office whom I spoke with a couple of times seemed impatient and gruff.  There was no "Yes, ma'am....No, ma'am".....This could be improved upon.
Jason had a rather challenging job, and he did it.

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

Nope, not typically, especially if a continuous food source is available. Rats will leave their nesting spots briefly to forage for food and water and then quickly return. The inherent danger of exposure keeps their departures short-lived. It's why resolving a minor infestation takes about three weeks, while a severe one can stretch to three months. Swift action is crucial to prevent rat populations from establishing a lasting presence.

A solution of one part bleach to 10 parts water or a disinfecting product that contains phenol (such as Lysol) is known to kill hantavirus and other pathogens found in mouse urine and feces. Simply spray this solution over and around the locations you expect mice to be living and running through, and the homemade disinfectant will do its job to rid your home of any feces and urine particles you could be exposed to.

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Roof rats can carry a variety of pathogens and parasites, including salmonellosis (food contamination), leptospirosis, trichinosis, rat-bite fever, murine typhus, plague, and toxoplasmosis. Diseases can be spread via urine, droppings, or saliva. To prevent transmission, it’s essential to promptly address a roof rat infestation and avoid direct contact with the animals where possible.

If you suddenly have an infestation of gnats in your house, don’t worry, it’s relatively easy to spot the cause and resolve it quickly. Gnats are drawn to moisture and decaying organic matter, so they love to snack on unsealed produce, flowers, plants, and food or liquid spills. A common spot to find gnats is inside your kitchen sink drain because it provides a hospitable environment for them to live and breed.
