"I met Lou and he got the job done at a very reasonable price. I called other companies such as 'Pet Boundaries' and 'Invisible Fence' and they were both almost double the price for practically the same system. I felt they were trying to rip me off. Lou however was the only reasonable priced dog fence installer in my opinion. Lou was also knowledgeable about pets in general and especially the product. When comparing Dog Fence Rehab's services to other companies such as Pet Boundary, it was exactly the same. Installed and rechargeable dog collars etc., invisible fence, and lessons for your pets included. I just couldn't figure out why other companies such as Invisible Fence wanted to charge so much more? They couldn't even tell me why when I asked. If you want a good product that works for a reasonable price I would recommend ' Dog Fence Rehab'."

"Excellent service and install all around! Vernon Jones was so responsive and professional, and they took great care navigating some challenges with a shared fence. His team was incredible! Complete dismantling of an old fence and install of a new one in one day! The product/fence is beautiful and the price much lower than area companies. Thank you, Vernon and team!"

"Very happy with Beiztell.  They provide a quote promptly after contact and stuck to it. They were in and out in one day to remove the old fence and replace with the hew fence.  When I arrived home I would never have known there were workers in my yard - they cleaned up so well, and didn't make a mess of the grass. The fence looks fabulous - time will tell if the wood wears well, but it is treated pine and looks good.The pool pump fence was a last minute addition to the job and they did a great job as they had to work around plumbing and electrical and slopes. During the installation they kept my husband informed and made to sure to ask questions if there were any doubts positioning, etc. Overall we are really happy with the work and with the people at Beiztell.  Everyone was professional and polite. They were prompt in responding to questions and delivered on the date they said that they would."

"Borderline was highly recommended by the fence installer. I had some problems getting the right contact info, but once I did Brennan was extremely helpful. Borderline easily beat the other surveyor quotes. Borderline is in demand and we had to wait more than a week for an opening. Borderline kept me informed, came as promised, and completed the job quickly and professionally."

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:

  • Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.

  • Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.

When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.

Groundhogs have a strong aversion to powerful scents, including garlic, ammonia, vinegar, hot peppers like cayenne, and predator urine. Various herbs such as rosemary, lavender, basil, mint, sage, thyme, and oregano can also act as deterrents. You can strategically use these odors around your property by planting these crops near your garden and by the entrances to groundhog burrows. Commercially available repellents offer another option, and for best results, scent-based deterrents should be used alongside other preventive measures.

Some of the best smells for keeping squirrels away are those that have a spicy or pungent odor. This includes pepper, garlic powder, vinegar, mint, and coffee. Just be careful when handling cayenne or chili pepper. Don’t touch your face to prevent getting some in your eyes, and be sure to keep it away from children and pets.

Anecdotal evidence suggests coffee grounds can keep chipmunks away. Sprinkle them throughout your garden, yard, and plants to help deter them. As an added bonus, coffee grounds can help keep the slugs away, and they’re great for acid-loving plants such as hydrangeas, azaleas, and rhododendrons.

Rabbits have a penchant for plants, relishing herbs, veggies, fruits, and grasses. Common herbs like mint, basil, and cilantro are fair game for rabbits. In fact, leafy greens such as mint and thyme are rabbit favorites. Not only do bunnies find it yummy, but it packs health benefits when consumed in small amounts.
