"Was going to buy a fence and install it myself but decided to just let a pro do it. A week latter and the customer service is still top notch. Only complaint was I think the fence was originally set a little high but that was an easy change. If your looking for a dog fence I highly recommend Dog Guard."

"Todd is wonderful! He quoted me a price and was here on time, the day he said he would be. He even trained myself and my dog how to use the fence. - Fast forward 6 months, and I called him the day before Christmas as I wanted another section in my yard 'fenced off" - he said I'll be next week. What a guy! It was cold and wet today, and he was out there working just like he said. Quality and service is outstanding! You can't go wrong and you and your pet will be forever thankful for his service. Why go anywhere else, when you can get support local and receive great customer service Thanks Todd!"

"Very professional and good communication. In a recent storm one of my downspouts became disconnected from my gutters. Being that I live in a split level and this was in about the most inconvenient spot( an I am getting older and seemingly more clumsy), I decided to have someone do the job. A&B reached out to me very quickly and had an opening to get me in same day. Keep in mind this was the middle of January shortly after a winter storm. They were able to quickly get this job done despite the difficult weather and snow on the ground and for a fair price. Throughout they were very communicative, I knew exactly where they were and when they would be arriving. In fact, when I went to just check in with them, they had already finished and Steve was going the extra mile with tidying up and making sure everything was right for a repair that would last. Would definitely recommend for handyman jobs!"

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

While cats are great at rodent control, it is their second nature to use the soft dirt of your garden as a litter box. This can lead to the contamination of your food and the spread of disease in humans.

No, it’s not safe to leave a doggy door open. It might be more convenient, especially at night when you just want to lay in bed. However, when you leave it open, it increases the chance of other critters getting in without your knowledge. Also, it leaves your pup unsupervised for hours at a time.

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.

Squirrels rely heavily on their sense of smell and are deterred by a variety of scents. Some of the most effective smells for repelling them include peppermint oil, coffee grounds, white vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, rosemary, and predator urine. They also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based sprays an effective repellent for areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a spray from garlic and vinegar and apply it daily. Additionally, squirrels dislike strong, fresh scents, so placing items like strong-smelling soaps or dryer sheets in areas they frequent can also help keep them away.

To make sure the removal process goes smoothly, try asking your pro the following questions: 

  • Are you licensed and insured? 

  • How much experience do you have with relocating beehives? 

  • Do you remove the honey and honeycomb? 

  • Do you relocate the bees alive? 

  • Do you have any references from previous clients?
