Friendly and helpful. Did a great job in removing bird nest and cleaning out my dryer vent. They even vacuumed behind dryer when they had it pulled out. Installed a bird cage over the outside vent so the birds couldn't get in again. I would recommend them and use them again if needed.

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

Most treatments take 1-3 hours, but severe infestations may require multiple visits.

Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them.

Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.

Costs depend on infestation severity, business size, treatment type, and frequency of service.

Set live traps or install a one-way door to evict squirrels, rodents, and other animals from your attic. Once they’re out, seal any entry points to prevent the animals from returning. If you’re dealing with an infestation, call a pro.

The best animal repellents for gardens include a variety of different scents. You can use predator urine to keep away deer, raccoons, squirrels, and more. The odor will tell the critters that your yard is a dangerous place. Other scents that repel critters are herbs like lavender, geranium, and mint. You can also use hot pepper, garlic, and strong-smelling soap.
