"In a panic I paid Adcock's $95 just for an inspection. They confirmed that there were probably raccoons (I don't think they actually saw any). They quoted a high cost to set up traps and prevent any animals from entering through the openings to the basement. I then called another trapper that was recommended who did a FREE inspection and did not find any raccoons or signs of any having been there. For a much more reasonable price he placed traps that would catch any animals that might be in the house (none were caught) and also from outside. I paid him and he caught a raccoon from outside the house and took him away to be let loose in the woods in the country somewhere (far away from my house). I called Adcock to ask if they might refund the $95 inspection fee that I had paid in my panic but they refused. I have never heard any noises in my basement ceiling again, so I believe there were certainly never any raccoons; I might have been hearing mice, which I did have. I used an exterminator to control those."

"Great job performed. Two technicians showed up. I filled them in on where the issue was. They expertly got to work and performed the tasks. They inspected the vent after removal of the birds nest and debris. They sanitized the vent. Great pros!"

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Simply put,  there are much better approaches than using mothballs. Mothballs contain chemicals that can easily permeate a frog's delicate skin, leading to health problems. But it's not limited to just frogs; other animals and the environment could also face negative impacts. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken action. It emphasizes the importance of adhering to label instructions for products like this and not moving forward with off-label use.

Yes, deer eat grass. But grass is far from a deer’s favorite food. Grass doesn’t have the nutrients deer need, so it only makes up a fraction of their diet. Deer eat woody plants, vegetation, acorns, fruit, and legumes. If deer are frequently in your yard, however, they will likely pick at the grass.

If a wild animal enters your yard, prioritize safety for yourself and the animal. Remember to avoid direct contact and always keep a safe distance. Contact local authorities or a wildlife rehabilitation center if the animal is hurt or in distress. Both sources should be able to guide you on how to proceed and send help if needed. Please wait for the animal to leave naturally for non-threatening situations, as many will. To deter future visits, implement measures like securing trash cans, sealing entry points, and removing potential food sources.

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

When baiting an iguana trap, several items should be avoided. Do not use poisonous baits, such as those intended for rats or mice. This practice is often illegal, is unlikely to attract iguanas, and poses a significant risk to pets or other wildlife. Additionally, avoid using herbs, fruits, and vegetables that are toxic to iguanas, such as fresh sage, rosemary, avocados, and eggplants. While ripe fruit can be an effective bait, be sure to remove any pits or seeds from fruits like apples, pears, and peaches, as they are highly toxic. Finally, steer clear of citrus fruits, which act as a natural deterrent.
