"We looked around at a lot of invisible fence companies and decided to go with Dog Guard. We are glad we did because they did a great job on the install, they were very friendly and helpful and not only on-time but early. They took the time to train the dog after installing the fence and took the time to answer all my questions and then some. We are very happy with them and glad we chose to go with them over the other companies we researched. We've had the fence for about a month now and have had no issues with it and it works great!"

"From the office staff to the owner to the installation technicians, this was a very pleasant experience!  Rob gave us a quote, took care of the permits and had his technicians build the fence in less time than he quoted!  Some of my landscaping was outside of my property line and Rob arrived to help remove it swiftly and professionally.  I would hire them again in a heartbeat!  
Thanks everyone!

"Scott is so incredibly kind, courteous and he truly loves all dogs! His dog Millie is the best too! She has helped train both of our dogs to use the PetSafe fence which has been so incredibly helpful for us since we live next to a walking path and our dogs like to greet every single person that walks by! The fence keeps them from getting outside of our property. Scott initially installed our fence for our first dog, Coco. Then we added a new puppy last year and he came back out and spent so much time to train our dog Cookie too. This time, he came to repair our broken fence that was damaged when the plumber had to dig up our water line. He also helped us with bark collars and he helps train us on how to use those as well. Scott is passionate about humane and safe dog care and I would absolutely recommend him to any dog owner!"

"The project went really well, and I couldn't be happier. Just as I requested, the new railing looks exactly like the old railing. There were some issues with installing it into the existing concrete steps, and Rick Gleason found a solution that really worked well. The new railing is sturdy and looks great."

"I contacted Kat construction in June but as you know the weather was lousy and we have to move the date back about three times.  They kept me informed about when they thought they would get to my project and they did not take a deposit from me because they were not sure when the project would be completed. 
When they started work, it went smoothly and quickly.  Kat Construction cleaned up after themselves and I am satisfied with the work performed."

"We have been working with Blue Heaven Corp for a long period of time. They are trustworthy and reliable company, very clean and organized. Our last project was to paint our whole house. We have decided to leave for vacation and left keys for BHC crew to work on the paint  job. They have done an amazing job during our absence, not only the house was clean after this huge project but colors they have decided to use have been picked professionally and matched our furniture and floors. We’ve been very satisfied with the price and services and highly recommend Blue Heaven Corp company"

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

Groundhogs have a strong aversion to powerful scents, including garlic, ammonia, vinegar, hot peppers like cayenne, and predator urine. Various herbs such as rosemary, lavender, basil, mint, sage, thyme, and oregano can also act as deterrents. You can strategically use these odors around your property by planting these crops near your garden and by the entrances to groundhog burrows. Commercially available repellents offer another option, and for best results, scent-based deterrents should be used alongside other preventive measures.

As a general rule, if you hear an animal in your attic, don’t assume it will stay there. Animals are drawn to warmth and food sources, which could lead them to other parts of your house. In particular, it’s likely that small pests such as rats and mice that only need tiny gaps to squeeze through will end up in your walls and ductwork. Larger animals like raccoons may be limited to an enclosed attic.

To keep animals out, you must prevent them from entering. As long as they can get in, the problem will persist. That said, consider making your attic less inviting using deterrents like motion-activated lights or ultrasonic devices. Additionally, keeping a well-maintained, clean, and uncluttered attic that you regularly inspect for activity may make the space less attractive to critters.

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.

Deers have an extraordinarily strong sense of smell, which means they can react strongly to certain scents. Lavender, garlic, mint, cinnamon, clove, and human hair are some of the most offensive scents for deer. You can try mixing some of these pungent oils or scents with a spray mixture and adding them to your garden.
