"I called Groen's on a Tuesday morning because we were hearing scratching noises in our attic. We thought perhaps a squirrel had gotten into the attic. My boss had recommended his service as he had a raccoon in his attic a few months earlier. Josh Groen called me back within an hour of my leaving a mesage. I described the noises we were hearing and his first thought was that we had mice in the attic. We set up an appointment for that Friday since I couldn't be home any earlier, though he could have accommodated an earlier day for the appointment.
Josh called me at 8:30am Friday morning to let me know that he was on his way and expected to arrive on time for my 9:00am appointment. He arrived exactly at 9:00am. He donned little booties and we went upstairs to where the attic door was located. He opened the door, located in our bedroom closet, and pointed out right away that there were 'tunnels' in the blown-in insulation and that was an indicator for mice. He went into the attic itself and found more tunnels. He also noticed that the protective screen from one of our roof vents was missing and there was now a large bird nest filling that whole area. He said he could remove the nest and put a new protective screen up so that nothing could get into the attic from that area. After he removed the nest and put the secured a new screen, he said he was going to put some poison mice cubes into the attic. He said that I could buy them myself from a garden store or Home Depot, if I wanted, but that his were more powerful. It was my choice and I told him to go ahead and take care of it. 
I asked him to check the crawlspace as well and he looked down there and threw some of the cubes in the crawlspace. We saw some signs that the mice had been in the basement living area as well but he said he wouldn't put any cubes in the living area because we had a dog, even though I said she never came downstairs, he was against doing it and I agreed.
I had mentioned that I was afraid that mice were getting into our kitchen because there was a fairly large hole under the kitchen sink cabinet where the pipes come up from the basement. He looked and said that was a good possibility. He suggested that we find a way to cover up that area. Then he said he might have some material in his truck that would work. He brought back a sheet of metal, cut to a proper size, and screwed it into place. He noticed a small hole in the cabinet wall that was by the dishwasher and used the small remaining piece to cover that hole up too. 
He spent about an hour and a half in total checking things out and answering every question I had for him. He was really nice and friendly and never seemed like he was in a hurry to get to the next appointment. When I asked how long he thought it would take for me to notice whether the mice were 'gone' he said give it 5-7 days. I haven't heard one noise since Josh came to the house. I would recommend Josh to family, friends, even strangers. His prices were really reasonable as well, even before using the coupon.

"I used them for mosquito control Weather has a major impact on scheduling, so it was hard to set firm dates for service. Always showed up once they were scheduled. Treatments provided significant, but not total relief from mosquito problem. Price was good compared to other services. Techs were always pleasant and professional."

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

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.

Studies indicate that owls don't possess a conventional sense of fear. However, they find intense, sudden human noise unsettling, like clapping or shouting. Additionally, owls are likely spooked by sudden bursts of bright light. While they may not experience fear as humans do, these disturbances can disrupt their natural behaviors, making it essential to minimize such disruptions when sharing spaces with these remarkable creatures.

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.

Hawk attacks on pets are rare, and they won’t target animals that outweigh them. Hawks typically weigh between one and three pounds. That means you don’t need to worry if you have a Labrador Retriever or French Bulldog. However, small cats and toy breed dogs, like Chihuahuas, are at risk. Pet attacks are more likely in winter when food is scarce or in the early summer when inexperienced young hawks are honing their hunting skills.

When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try: 

  • Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.  

  • Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away. 

  • Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.
