Brady was very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He presented the package for “eliminating” versus “controlling” which most other pest control companies offer. In additional, their applications will take care of almost all of the known pests (rodents, insects, etc.). They also...

While old termite activity was found, no current activity was found. After a very careful inspection no services were needed. Would trust them with any pest control issues. Prompt, polite, very professional.

This company does not provide the service it advertises. The first treatment is to be applied as pre-emerge for crabgrass in the spring. As that window was closing, I called to find out when they would treat my lawn and was told that I was "on the schedule and he would be out". To look at my...

This was done on a stone house so more difficult to remove & install. Window panes do not let the cold air in. Yes, the price is a bit steep, but they employ their own workers and do not subcontract. Quality control is excellent--

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

Pest control and wildlife removal are different services. Pest control specialists typically handle insects and bugs, often using chemicals and poisonous sprays for extermination. Wildlife removal professionals, on the other hand, focus on larger animals. They prioritize humane methods like trapping and relocation, using poison only as a last resort. For insect problems, contact a pest control professional; for issues with other animals, an animal or wildlife removal specialist is the correct choice.

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.

While not common, bird’s nests can cause problems to your property in some cases.

Block vents for your dryer, stove, and fans, creating a fire hazard
Clog gutters and drains, leading to roof and siding damage
Damage solar panels
Wiring issues if the nest is on or near a light fixture

Most treatments take 1-3 hours, but severe infestations may require multiple visits.

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