93 I was very pleased with the job done by JL Tree Removal Service. They were very professional, reasonable in price, arrived on time, and completed the job in about five hours, including removing the stump and overall clean up. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing tree removal....
Horrible. Neighbor engaged this company to move into our building and I ultimately had to call the police on them as they assaulted a tenant. The movers blocked the stairway and when a request was made to move the items blocking the stairwell (the only way to enter / exit the property) one of...
Job done as needed and at very reasonable price. I compared with other vendors and VA Animal Control is very reasonable.
Excellent service, friendly and competent cat-sitter, clearly loves animals. Highly recommended.
They clearly knew their animal's tastes and habits. it took about 10 days to get the entire family. They added the extra days beyond the first week's contract at a very reasonable extra price. I do wish they had been more upfront about the DC law that requires animal removed from homes to...
The Master Trapper IncThis was the 2nd time I visited the vet for my dog. This is by far one of the best clinics I've been. The price is very reasonable and the staff shows a true love for the animals. They take time to answer any questions you have.

PestNow brand was founded in Virginia in 1995 as Superior Pest Management when four high school friends came together to form their own company.

We offer pest control; termite treatments and warranties; mosquito, flea & tick control; WDIs (real estate inspections); lawn fertilization & weed control; TAP insulation; and wildlife solutions for homeowners and businesses in the mid-Atlantic.
"PestNow was hired to inspect our house for termites. This was required by the lender of the family buying our house. PestNow found a pile of wood leaning up against a deck column they said needed repair due to termite damage. PestNow also required the entire house be treated. There were no termites found anywhere other than the pile of wood, according to PestNow. They quoted us for over $800 to treat the house. We questioned the need and amount so they lowered it to $580. As a result of PestNow stating they found termites in the deck column, the lender of the buyers required the deck column be repaired due to termite damage. The deck repair company assessed the deck column agreeing it needed to be repaired, but not due to termites, rather moisture. I question whether PestNow found termites at all. Their unethical tactics cost us well over $1,000. Beware of PestNow."

First Solutions Pest and Home Services is family owned and operated with over 15 years of experience in the industry. When considering pest control, safety should always be your priority, especially if you have children and pets at home. 30 Days Guarantee If pests return between treatments, we'll return at no extra charge. And if we're unable to solve your pest problem, we'll refund your last service payment as long as you're a customer.
"The provider set up treatment outside, but the customer has experienced respiratory issues since then and still has rodents and bugs. Despite instructions not to apply anything inside, chemicals appear to have seeped into the floorboards, worsening her health. The provider charged over $4k plus $185 every three months but did not install traps to catch rodents. The customer does not want them to return and reports the basement is in disarray, contributing to the ongoing issues."

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself.
Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away.
Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems.
Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.
Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Your skunk removal cost will depend on several factors, including type, location, and more. Our guide will cover everything you need to know about skunk removal costs.
