Nate knows what he is doing and does it in a timely manner yet keeping things safe. Due to weather issues had to reschedule which was out of his control. Will be calling him again for the next tree project.

I really liked that they didn't put any equipment on the lawn. The experience was excellent. They were very effiecient with cutting down the trees and brought a mulcher to get rid of the limbs. They removed bird feeders and covered shrubs so nothing was damage.

Bird Control FAQs, answered by experts

High-frequency bird repellent devices are effective at driving away birds, which is their intended purpose. However, these devices also tend to have unintended negative consequences. For example, if you or your neighbors own pets, the high-pitched noise emitted by these electronic devices will cause them distress and may even make them aggressive.

DIY treatments may help minor issues, but professionals provide long-term solutions and prevent recurrence.

Woodpeckers may seek out homes with aluminum siding or tin roofs because these surfaces echo their drumming. Homes with wood siding are more frequently targeted as roosting areas or for food sources. If you have insects living in the exposed wood in your home, the birds are likely looking for a snack, in which case your best option is to hire an exterminator.

In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it’s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it’s been disturbed, it’s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.

Some of the plants listed above, like daffodils, are poisonous to many animals if eaten. But wild animals instinctively avoid them, for the most part. Household pets don’t always have the same survival instinct, which is why it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with common plants that pose a danger to cats and dogs.
