"I never thought I would need to hire someone to remove wild animals from my property. For 35 years I've lived in harmony with the groundhogs and other animals that come into my yard. Then someone tunneled and came up under my back porch. Since this is where the dogs and we go in and out, something had to be done to prevent dogs from getting stuck under the porch and wildlife from appearing at the back door. I called Easton's. David E. understands wild animals. He has a deep respect for their intelligence and knowledge of their habits and their abilities to interact with humans. He set traps for the chipmunks who were going in and out of my crawl space. He set a trap at the small entry under my back deck. He caught chipmunks, a skunk, a possum and finally the huge groundhog that had been digging the tunnels. He then did work to ensure that animals could do no more tunneling under my shed (they had been living there since the shed arrived 25 years ago) and other areas around the house where animals could get in and cause damage were closed. Every time I called to report an animal caught in the trap, Mr. E. came quickly to retrieve it. I have every confidence they were treated humanely and did not suffer. An added bonus the fall/winter of 2017 and 2018/19 my house has also been rodent free! It's been great that the house is sealed up and mice are no longer visiting. Raccoons and opossums still set off my light sensors but they are now transient visitors--not living in tunnels under the house. If you need help with wildlife around your property, Mr. E. is the one to call. I highly recommend this business. You will learn all about the animal's lifestyle and habits as well as how best to keep them outside where we prefer them to be and your home will be protected from the damage they can cause."

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

Vinegar can keep some animals at bay, like deer, rabbits, foxes, and raccoons. Keep in mind that your household pets, like cats and dogs, also don’t like the smell of vinegar. You can soak rags in white vinegar and put them up around your garden beds to keep the pesky critters from eating your plants.

If you’ve had a prior bat infestation or simply want to avoid having bats invade your home in the first place, there are a few steps you can take without the need for a pro. 

  • Seal entry points, such as where your chimney meets your house, or other gaps or holes exist.

  • Use bat deterrents like bright lights or ultrasonic devices to force them away from your home. 

  • Reduce bat attractions like standing water and bird nectar feeders inviting bats into your yard.

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. 

It's advisable to avoid using harmful methods to eliminate birds. Poisoning birds is inhumane and can have unintended ecological consequences, affecting other wildlife and pets. Similarly, using firearms or other lethal means poses safety risks and could be illegal in many areas. Sticky substances like adhesives can cause birds to become trapped and injured. Lastly, playing excessively loud or distressing noises can stress birds and humans. Focusing on humane and environmentally responsible strategies is essential when dealing with bird issues.

Bird and bat pest control involves assessing the site, installing deterrents, sealing entry points, and, in some cases, safely removing infestations following regulatory guidelines.
