"We had mice in the basement for months before I finally decided to hire a professional to deal with it. I should have done it sooner, because they came quickly, sealed all the holes and I haven't found any droppings since. Great work. We also hired them to Control or Remove Raccoons. That also was a great service. The technician explained everything and was very courteous. Professional customer service, and the job was done well the first time. I would hire them again."

"Great office staff and technical staff. So glad ABC could get an emergency visit for us in just a couple of hours! Their technicians are so nice, so knowledgeable and helpful. Weâ ve had them out to our house for everything from a bird in the chimney, to a chipmunk in the furnace duct! Their bug/insect division, Landmark, is also excellent. I HIGHLY recommend ABC!"

"We called Guillen Pest Control for the church where I'm a pastor. We had found a mouse and wanted to make sure we didn't have an ongoing problem. Guillen Pest Control gave us a thorough going-over - not once, but twice. They told us we didn't have an ongoing problem and this was an isolated incident of a mouse entering the building. They could easily have told us we have a problem, recommended a course of action, and we would have gladly paid for it. Their thoroughness and honesty was refreshing. We will call them any time we need extermination/pest control help.

"I used them for mosquito control Weather has a major impact on scheduling, so it was hard to set firm dates for service. Always showed up once they were scheduled. Treatments provided significant, but not total relief from mosquito problem. Price was good compared to other services. Techs were always pleasant and professional."

"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

Bird Control FAQs, 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. 

Identifying the specific animal running on your roof at night can be challenging without direct observation. Common nocturnal roof visitors include raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and rats. Raccoons are bigger and can create heavy thumping sounds. Squirrels are agile and may produce rapid scurrying noises. Opossums tend to move stealthily with less noise. Rats can make scratching or gnawing sounds. To determine the culprit, look for signs like footprints, droppings, or damaged areas near the roof. For accurate identification, consult a pest control professional or set up wildlife cameras near potential entry points.

DIY removal of birds or bats is not recommended due to safety risks and potential legal protections for certain species. While simple prevention methods can be done yourself, actual removal and control of an infestation should be handled by professionals who are familiar with safe, humane, and effective techniques.

You can find a variety of humane bird repellent sprays online and at home improvement stores. However, if you want to try a DIY method that will keep birds away without harming them, mix some water, dish soap, and a few drops of peppermint oil and spray the area you want bird-free. Peppermint oil is a notoriously lovely smell for humans, but birds tend to avoid it.

Numerous predators kill hornets, including frogs, birds, lizards, bats, spiders, and hedgehogs. Some larger predators, including rats, skunks, and racoons, will occasionally attack a hornet nest in order to eat the larvae inside. These natural predators typically don’t eat enough hornets to make them an effective form of hornet control.
