Animal Control of New England specializes in safe humane, wildlife removal, exclusions and repairs. We are a locally owned and operated company. If you have Bats, Squirrels, Raccoons, Skunks, Woodchucks, Beavers, Moles, Fox, Opossums, Rabbits, Weasels, Pigeons, Starlings, Mice, or Rats we have the solution. We offer pest proofing, chimney caps, perimeter shields, vent guards, attic clean outs and re-insulate. Fully Licensed & Insured. 24 hr. Emergency service. Call for inspections and estimates.

"It is never fun to have wildlife invading one's home. In my case, it was flying squirrels who had made a small opening and found a way into my attic. I called Paul Hewes, and he answered my call right away. He was at my house within 90 minutes, and professionally assessed the situation. He described my options and helped me choose. He installed traps right away, and came back to my house three times to collect and remove the trapped animals. In total he removed over 18 flying squirrels! He was knowledgeable and careful. He inspected my entire house for other potential entry spots, and took some proactive action. He was great to work with. I hope not to have to call him again, but if I have a problem like this again, he's at the top of my list. When you divide his price by the number of animals removed, it's a good deal for me, bad deal for them."

ROLANDINI BROTHERS, West Side Masonry & Chimney Company. Established in 1986, we are fully licensed and insured; family owned and operated. We currently have a very passionate, efficient, dedicated and reliable three man crew. With over 40 years of experience in the commercial and residential masonry field, we’ve worked extremely hard to build a strong reputation for being one of the area’s best masonry companies. Rolandini Brothers was once a large operation, which has down sized, in order to specialize in both residential and commercial restoration. We are extremely proud of our work and believe that it speaks for itself. We accept all major credit cards; in some cases we’ve offered payment plans!

"We were very impressed about this business at first. We had had a lot of estimates and chose Rolandini after listening to what he said and how he would fix it. We knew our chimney had to be taken down, rebuilt. Since they did the $3500 job, our chimney has been leaking. We have water come through our chimney and along the wall in a bedroom where the chimney runs. We have consulted other people who all have told us this is an issue with the flashing not having been put in correctly when rebuilding the chimney. We have called and left phone messages, facebook reviews, and private messages and no one has ever called us back. Completely unacceptable that they don't respond to customer questions or complaints. After paying and guaranteeing their service, I cannot believe they will not respond to a customer question. This could have been resolved without too much of an issue but the fact that they have completely ignored the multiple messages in many ways is unprofessional to say the least."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

In certain cases, yes, the bees may go away on their own, but it’s a risk. Some bee types, such as bumblebees, create seasonal nests and then die out as their new queens seek homes elsewhere. But in most cases, you can’t count on the bees leaving naturally. It’s also not a great idea to leave openings in your walls any longer than you have to, which can attract other pests or cause moisture damage.

Early spring or late fall removals are ideal when bees are less active, and hive removal is safer.

Bees are relocated to safe habitats, ensuring their continued role in pollination without risk to your home.

Probably not. Many imitation nests are meant to be hung from trees or other tall places, but not all yellow jackets nest up high—most species, such as the common yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket, build nests in the ground. 

If you seal bees in a wall and don’t leave them any way to escape, they may make one of their own. Otherwise, they’ll die inside the wall, and that creates many additional problems. It takes a long time, and the bees will start rotting, which can make your home smell miserable. All the dead bees and any honeycombs they may have created will also attract a number of bugs or other pests to your home. That’s why we suggest removing the bees entirely, and not trying to seal them away.
