"After hearing sounds in our attic on Christmas day we went on Angies List and found Animal Wildlife Trackers (AWT). We suspected it was squirrels since we had seen them running up on our roof. We called AWT the day after Christmas and Jim came out the same day. Jim was very thorough in explaining things to us so we would have an idea of how this type of problem is resolved and how their company works with us through this process. He put down 3 traps in our attic. Within a matter of hours squirrels were in the traps and Jim was back the next day to take them out. It took approximately 3 weeks to confirm all the squirrels were out and the access to our attic was closed off to prevent more of them from coming in. The problem was resolved and work was completed in 6 visits and during this time 8 squirrels were removed and the entry points were closed off. We found this company to be very responsive and knowledgeable and we would use them again. Jim was very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant and he made us feel less stressed about this situation. He made us feel confident that he could resolve the problem in a timely manner. While this was not cheap to resolve, it was worth every penny to have the piece of mind that this problem was gone. While we hope that we will not need their service again, we would definitely call them if we had a need for this service and we would highly recommend this company if you have problems with wildlife in your home. They are very responsive!"

"ABC wildlife humane control was extremely easy to contact responded within an hour I would say and came out two days later. It took less than a half an hour to take care of the yellow jacket nest. The technician Andrew was professional and informative as to what they used how it works and how long it should take to see the activity die down. I would use them again."

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

To keep deer from eating your trees, you can either put up barriers or install a deer repellant. Barriers that protect trees from deer include tree wrap or fencing. You can also plant deer-resistant trees to prevent deer from eating or scraping against your trees or garden with plants that deer don’t like to be around.

Squirrels tend to forage, traveling along roof and fence lines. To trap a squirrel, placing a baited trap on the roof near the point of entry is the best option. If you can see them going in and out or recognize the damage they might be causing to the exterior of your home, you can also try placing traps near those locations.

You can use bleach to kill fruit flies, but it's not the best option because bleach can be toxic to people when used on surfaces. It also isn't as effective as killing flies in drains, as it passes through the drain too quickly to do a thorough job.

Yes, it’s actually common to see more cockroaches after you spray. It might seem like things are getting worse, but that’s usually a sign the treatment is working. Roach sprays and baits can flush them out of their hiding spots as they try to escape the chemicals. You might notice them acting strangely—slower, twitching, or out during the day when they’re usually hiding.

To keep animals away from your trash, you can spray store-bought ammonia-based cleaners on the bag or make your own spray. All you need is a spray bottle with one part ammonia and one part water. Once you’ve sprayed the bags, keep your kids and pets away.
