"The Raven Termite and Pest Control team from Baltimore were outstanding. I called to schedule an appointment for inspection on Wednesday, the inspection occurred the next day on Thursday and the installation of the bird control hardware occurred on Tuesday. Carl and Kris were very professional, extremely competent and friendly. 5 stars Strongly recommend."
"Josh is amazing. I called DMV wildlife for bird removal from my bathroom vents. Josh came cleaned and sanitized the bathroom vents inside and out. He also installed a basket to make sure they canâ t get back in! He also recommended a basket for our dryer vent so they wouldnâ t go from one vent entrance to another. Josh went over and beyond and cleaned the dryer vent. DMV wildlife is HIGHLY recommended! Thanks again Josh!"
"Had a small inactive bird nest that needed to be removed. Called several companies to compare. First Solutions was very responsive and reasonably priced. Appointment, completion of work and payment was done with ease! Will hire again and refer to family and friends!"

"Two very nice men came and carefully and thoroughly cleaned the flue. They use a vacuum concurrently with the sweeping so as to minimize the ash and dust, and it works. They were careful not to track in dirt and such from outside and were very pleasant."
"It went pretty well. They actually found a bird in the chimney, so that was helpful. I'd use them again if I needed. They were nice enough and answered all my questions."
No, mothballs do not keep bats away. Not only are mothballs completely ineffective when repelling or removing bats, but using them could be illegal, depending on where you live. Remember, bats are federally protected, and it's illegal to use chemicals during the removal process, and mothballs tend to fall into this category.
Studies indicate that owls don't possess a conventional sense of fear. However, they find intense, sudden human noise unsettling, like clapping or shouting. Additionally, owls are likely spooked by sudden bursts of bright light. While they may not experience fear as humans do, these disturbances can disrupt their natural behaviors, making it essential to minimize such disruptions when sharing spaces with these remarkable creatures.
While not common, bird’s nests can cause problems to your property in some cases.
