They were literally a blessing. Had squirrels build a nest and couldn’t sleep for days. Had another company come out and say they couldn’t help remove the pests. Figured at least I could get the trim replaced. Not only did they do an amazing job replacing the trim but they also removed the bird...

The owner took my call after hours when I was in dire need of an expert at a reasonable price. Terminix quoted me $3000, select pest control beat that price by a huge amount. The technician came out within 48 hours, talked me through what to do before treatment, checked the house when they...

"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

"I called Mike at 8:30 a.m. on March 8th and left him a message that I couldn't make the appointment due to an unexpected work commitment. I requested that he either go over to the house (currently vacant) and take a look at it or meet my husband there at noon instead of 10:00 a.m. I never heard anything from Mr. Molinari until Monday, March 12, 2007, stating the he didn't have my phone number to call me back. I would have preferred that he or another representative would have just gone over to the house at the original time, assessed the property and the project and called me with questions."

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

You can find a variety of humane bird repellent sprays online and at home improvement stores. However, if you want to try a DIY method that will keep birds away without harming them, mix some water, dish soap, and a few drops of peppermint oil and spray the area you want bird-free. Peppermint oil is a notoriously lovely smell for humans, but birds tend to avoid it.

In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it’s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it’s been disturbed, it’s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.

Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them.

Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.

Depending on the size of your home and accessibility, expect professional pest inspections to take between 30 and 60 minutes. If you have a large property or limited accessibility, pest inspections may take longer.

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.
