"The rep came out as promised, and gave us a quote on the spot- about $1000. He filled in the three woodpecker holes, and removed my messy attempts to eradicate the bird. He then added several "toys" to keep the bird away- an owl face with metallic streamers, and four little bicycle reflectors to confuse it. Finally, he set up a speaker that broadcasts timed recordings of bird distress calls and predator bird calls. He came back a week later and painted the repairs, using paint we gave him. Final report- we have not seen the woodpecker since. Nice job!"

"It was very considerate of Jon to call and say that he was going to be late due road conditions (it was pouring on Saturday).  I didn't mind because anyway they had given me an ETA between 0900am - 1100am.  I had mentioned in my communication with Sergio that the wasps' nest was situated on the mesh screen in the skylight above my garage, but I guess no one told Jon.  In any case, Jon went up on the roof and tried to access the mesh, but could not.  Instead he sprayed inside the skylight and down into the mesh.  I asked him to also spray around my sliding patio door because bees somehow found a way to enter my house.  Jon pointed out that there were holes in the brick wall where they made their nests.  He sprayed inside the holes and filled them with a spongy metal material.  I could see the effects immediately, as some bees tried to return to the nest but now could not.  All in all, very good service and Jon is a very polite, well-mannered young man.  I will use them again if I have any pests problems in the future.

"They came in on time, and were very thorough. Bait they've placed is all pet and child safe. They inspected exterior of our home and sprayed repellents in likely nesting areas. Highly recommend"

"A raccoon was entering my attic through the soffit eave on the roof. Josh found where the animal was entering my yard and where it was climbing onto the roof, then entering the attic. He set the traps and promptly caught the animal that evening. He reset the traps to make sure there were not any others in the area. I availed myself of Josh's services last year for a couple of raccoons and he performed quickly & professionally at that time also. This time he is also building a couple of deterrents to stop further access to my attics. Josh is a fine young man and a pleasure to do business with."

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

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 woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.

The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.

This depends on if their needs are being met. They'll likely return night after night if they have access to food, water, and adequate shelter. If this changes, they’ll look for another roosting spot. This is why bright lights and other dissuading factors often work when removing bats from a property.

If a wild animal enters your yard, prioritize safety for yourself and the animal. Remember to avoid direct contact and always keep a safe distance. Contact local authorities or a wildlife rehabilitation center if the animal is hurt or in distress. Both sources should be able to guide you on how to proceed and send help if needed. Please wait for the animal to leave naturally for non-threatening situations, as many will. To deter future visits, implement measures like securing trash cans, sealing entry points, and removing potential food sources.

Finding a dead bat in your home can be frightening, even during spooky season. The United States Department of Interior states that if you find a dead bat, take these steps:

  • Contact your state wildlife agency to report the finding

  • Photograph the bat safely to help the wildlife agency determine the species

  • Use disposable gloves to place the bat into a plastic bag, making sure to spray with disinfectant and close the bag securely 

  • Thoroughly clean your hands and any clothing that came into contact with the bat

If you see one dead bat, you might have a large bat infestation that needs to be treated immediately. Call a local pest control company to properly inspect your home for other bats.
