"Very well. Mr. Valdez is very sharp, very smart, very professional. He examined the hole, and told me that the squirrel had not chewed his way into the side of the house. Then he proceeded to seal up the hole. Afterwards, he gave me valuable information on pest control in general. I highly recommend."

Steve was very professional and explained the ant situation. When he first sprayed in February the ants were everywhere! After he sprayed they began to be less and less. Now I am on a quarterly schedule to keep them under control. I am very pleased

"After making a few phone calls to other Angie?s List pest control contractors, I selected E & M based solely upon availability.  I needed someone to investigate the animal noises my mother was hearing in her attic as soon as possible, and Mr. Bohlen was available.  When he arrived at her place, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and very respectful.  Upon his initial visit, he explained that he would set one (1) trap, and if that did not take care of the problem, he would in turn set two (2) traps.  He also explained that he could not set the traps on his initial visit because he did not have his ladder to perform an investigation; however, we established that he would return on the next day that was convenient to us.  At this point, I mentioned to Mr. Bohlen that I wanted it to be a live animal capture and release.  

When Mr. Bohlen returned, he set one (1) trap and told us that he would return in a few days to see if the trap worked.  A few days later, the trap was empty, turned on its side, and the food that was used as bait was gone.  Mr. Bohlen then set two (2) traps at opposing ends of the attic; he suggested as an alternative, that he lay down rat poison at which point I begged him not to kill ?Rocky?.  For the traps to be more effective, I provided some Planter?s mixed nuts as enticement for the live capture.  Upon placement of the traps, Mr. Bohlen could see where the squirrels were entering the attic.  He took pictures of the entry-point with his iPhone and showed the pictures to me, but mentioned that he did not know how to use the e-mail function on his new phone in order to e-mail the photos to me.  Upon his departure, Mr. Bohlen offered a temporary solution of mesh to keep the squirrels out, but with his description of their entry-point, we believed that a roofer was needed to replace the pest-control screen around the attic vent as a permanent solution.  Mr. Bohlen offered to give me the phone number of a roofer that he knew as soon as he spoke with the gentleman directly, and then he explained that he would return in a few days to check the traps.   

Those ?few days? turned into a full week.  Mr. Bohlen set the traps on Saturday and anticipated on returning on Tuesday.  He had to reschedule for Thursday; then tentatively rescheduled for Saturday.  At one point, I called him to ask him if he was still going to come to the house as he had promised.  He told me that he had to remain at home while he waited for a furniture delivery (or something like that).  In any case, by the time he arrived at my mother?s house, I was not feeling very charitable toward Mr. Bohlen, especially after I had removed the clothes from my mother?s closet numerous times in order for him to gain access to the attic?s trap door, only for him not to show.  To make matters worse, when Mr. Bohlen removed the traps, one (1) squirrel had perished.  He was apologetic and thanked me for my patience, but a bad taste was already in my mouth.  

In short, I never received an e-mail from Mr. Bohlen of the photo that I could use in order to get an estimate from a roofer; I never received a phone number of the roofer that Mr. Bohlen knew; and despite my desire to have live capture of the squirrels in the attic, one (1) died because Mr. Bohlen failed to check on the traps in a timely fashion.  And yes, my mother STILL has a squirrel problem, which I have decided that I will take care of personally.

I believe the rave reviews about E & M Pest Management, however, I think that Mr. Bohlen dropped the ball during this particular service call."

Bird Control FAQs, answered by experts

Strong scents like peppermint, rosemary, lavender, citronella, and others can repel woodpeckers—as pungent smells can overpower their senses. For that reason, you might consider making a homemade spray with one or a combination of these scents to spritz around areas of your home where woodpeckers frequent.

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.

Small amounts of geese are actually good for the environment. They help spread seeds and lead to more plant growth, but they’re often an invasive species, particularly Canadian geese. This means a small gaggle can quickly grow into a level that litters your lawn with bald patches and excrement.

DIY removal of birds or bats is not recommended due to safety risks and potential legal protections for certain species. While simple prevention methods can be done yourself, actual removal and control of an infestation should be handled by professionals who are familiar with safe, humane, and effective techniques.

Pest control timelines depend on what services are being provided, size and type of infestation, and size of your home. Some inspections can take an hour or more, while preventative treatments only take 30 minutes to complete. Basic spaying for a problem like roaches or termites can take about an hour for small homes, but much longer for large properties and infestations. Consult your pest control pro for a time estimate based on your situation.
