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."

"ELEET did an excellent job cleaning up years of bird debris and disinfecting the area afterwards. They installed a metal screen properly so birds could not return to nest, which a prior pest control service did not. Dennis was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain his process. He was also very responsive and returned my calls and texts very quickly. He also checked back in on the work a few days later to make sure we were satisfied. I will keep ELEET on my list for future work at my home."

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

This depends on if their needs are being met. They'll likely return night after night if they have access to food, water, and adequate shelter. If this changes, they’ll look for another roosting spot. This is why bright lights and other dissuading factors often work when removing bats from a property.

Using audio and visual methods to discourage birds might work initially, but birds tend to acclimate to them over time. While chemical deterrents can show some effectiveness, their results can be inconsistent. Some may dissipate too quickly, and there's a risk they might cause unintended damage to your surroundings. Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.

Fake owls are a common goose deterrent decoy and one of the most humane ways to scare away geese. Unfortunately, some geese are wise to fake predators. Decoys can be more effective if you move them around frequently or purchase ones with motion features. Decoys that move in the wind are also more effective than stationary decoys.

When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.

The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.

Birds are often averse to certain strong scents. For instance, the odor of predator urine, such as that from foxes or hawks, can deter them. Similarly, birds may dislike the pungent aromas of garlic, onions, and chili peppers. Essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and citrus can also be effective in keeping birds away. However, it's important to note that individual bird species might react differently to these scents, so it might require some experimentation to find the most effective repellent for your specific situation.
