Q: Why are woodpeckers pecking my house?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What attracts woodpeckers?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Does one mouse mean an infestation?

• <div><p>Seeing one mouse in your home doesn&rsquo;t always indicate a full-blown infestation. However, it&rsquo;s very likely that if you see one, there are more lurking around. Even if you suspect that a mouse sighting is an isolated incident, it&rsquo;s important to take it seriously. One mouse will inevitably lead to more if you don&rsquo;t take the proper measures to eliminate the problem. </p></div>

Q: How do professionals identify the signs of bug infestations more accurately?

• <div><p>Trained eyes spot subtle indicators amateurs might miss, ensuring issues are addressed before they escalate.</p></div>

Ron and crew took down two trees, one large one very close to the house. They cleared up all debris and carted away. Ron cut the trees very low to the ground for us. Very good price, best quote we got. We would highly recommend and will use them again.
