"I had to have multiple squirrel nests removed from beneath multiple solar panels on my roof. Tim call me right away and gave me a quote. While performing the work, he discovered more nest than originally thought. He removed them and still charged me the original price quoted. I would definitely recommend for any critter elimination needed."

I had a very positive experience using Yankee Pest Control.  I appreciated that Galvin Jr. showed up on time and when he said he would. That is hard to find with most service providers nowadays!  We walked through my house and he pointed exactly how and where the termites had compromised the basement foundation.  He explained thoroughly, the process and cost it would take to remediate the situation.  They came out a couple of days later and performed their services just as he explained-no sudden changes that required more money as I've heard of with some other guys.

  Overall, I was very impressed with how Yankee Pest Control runs their business and I felt that their prices were reasonable.  I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Squirrels rely heavily on their sense of smell and are deterred by a variety of scents. Some of the most effective smells for repelling them include peppermint oil, coffee grounds, white vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, rosemary, and predator urine. They also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based sprays an effective repellent for areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a spray from garlic and vinegar and apply it daily. Additionally, squirrels dislike strong, fresh scents, so placing items like strong-smelling soaps or dryer sheets in areas they frequent can also help keep them away.

There are DIY methods and store-bought pesticides available for the public to use. However, these pesticides also come with a risk, and you need to follow the directions correctly and take precautionary measures to prevent exposure to these chemicals. These methods may be an option for small pest problems, but you should call in a pest control specialist for persistent pests and infestations.

Foxes are primarily nocturnal, meaning you’re less likely to see one strutting onto your lawn in the middle of the day. However, daytime activity is more common if you have a female with her cubs on your property during the spring and summer. And you can see adaptable urban foxes at any time when regular food is available.

There are quite a few opinions regarding using coffee grinds to keep deer out of your garden, with many people convinced of this method. It makes sense that it could work considering deer have a strong sense of smell and likely do not like the smell of coffee grounds. However, there’s no hard evidence supporting the notion that coffee grounds keep deer away, but it may be worth trying.

Scented mouse deterrents, like peppermint oil, can be effective in the short term. The pungent smells may temporarily repel mice, but they lose effectiveness as the scent fades or mice get used to it. The main drawbacks are frequent reapplication and the fact that these deterrents don't address the root cause of the infestation, such as entry points or food sources. While they can be part of a broader strategy, scented deterrents alone are rarely enough to eliminate a mouse problem.
