"I can?t say enough good about Josh. He knew what he was doing and was very professional. He got the raccoon out. He?s coming back to remove all of the insulation from my attic and sanitize the area. Josh was wonderful. He?s really great to work with."

"McKnights' came to our rescue after another well known pest control service cancelled due to a scheduling conflict (theirs not mine). We were leaving on vacation in two days and had a serious ant problem. He came out even though it was a weekend and took care of the issue. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of this type of service."

"We had a rough start with them. Originally I think I paid $100, and it didn't do the trick. Then they were going to check back with us, but they didn't. So I called them and they didn't answer. We got off to a rocky start. Finally I got the person who own the company, he came out and he resolved the issue. By that time it had gotten pretty out of place. He did it in a fair sweep. He said if we had anymore problems we could call him. He has a lot of issues with his help. They don't help. I need to take it out on the owner of the company and grade them low because it was hell. When he came out he did an excellent job, and assuming I can call him this spring when the bugs are back. I would definitely give him an A. The guy that came out the first time did not identify the bugs properly. It cost us a lot of delays. He said we had honey bees in the house. We did not have honey bees in the house.The honey bees were not dangerous. We had a harness, and wasp. We would have been more aggressive in trying to figure out trying to get rid of them if we would have not thought they were not honey bees. I thought the pricing was fair. They were punctual. If the bees come back, which I think they will. I will call them again. The owner was very responsive, very thorough, and did a very good job. It turned out he didn't know one bee from another. When I got the owner hes not afraid to go up on the roof and get the bugs. They were on the second floor outside. The first guy didn't want to climb on the roof. The owner definitely has issues with his health. That's the problem."

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Signs of badgers in a yard or garden include large burrow holes 2 to 9 feet deep and 1 to 2 feet wide in your lawn or garden or under your fence. Badgers may even break through fences in some cases. Partially eaten fruits, vegetables, and animal carcasses can also be a sign. Look for bits of fur, bones, spines, and skulls.

If you’re having trouble with your traps, first examine them for flaws that would allow a squirrel to escape easily, such as loose doors or hinges. It’s also important to consider the location of your trap: Place it in areas with higher squirrel traffic, and make sure it’s on a sturdy surface so it can’t wobble or tip (squirrels aren’t likely to walk in a trap that isn’t stable). Lastly, try changing out your bait—in-shell peanuts or peanut butter often work best.

Yes, most exterminators or pest control services provide free estimates to potential customers. It’s a good idea to get at least three estimates to compare prices and services unless you have an emergency that can’t wait to gather estimates. When providing the exterminators information for the estimate, be sure to include as much specific information as possible, include the suspected type of pest, how many you’ve seen, and other warning signs.

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.

Keeping your pool cover clean is a good way to keep smaller animals from running across it or using it as shelter. Small animals may use leaf debris on top of the cover to hide. Cleaning also removes nuts that may fall from a nearby tree that could otherwise be a tempting snack for some animals, like squirrels.
