Recent Animal Removal Reviews in Falmouth
- NW Pest Control IncThey trapped and covered one hole, but they came back in through another hole. I called back and somebody came back out that week to find the other hole and patch. Service is good for 6 months at no extra charge. They were friendly, prompt and seemed to know what they were doing
- Protect Pest ServicesExcellent All A's were well earned. Answered all questions fully taking time to explain the process. Because there was a 2 week follow-up visit, I waited before submitting review. I was impressed enough that I requested annual visits.

In the past four years I have had THREE different companies come and charge me a good deal of money (i.e. $750.00; $950.00 and $1500.00 respectively) and did not eradicate the problem at all. The first time was three years ago and the squirrels did stay gone for a while but they were back this Thanksgiving when the last two services were employed and did nothing except take my money. Richard Varney did things differently than any of these other companies and that is why he is the best. What he didn’t do was just stick a trap up on the roof and expect the squirrels to waltz in it after a few days but no longer than five . . . Both companies said they would seal the holes so there would be no way the squirrels could get back in and both were wrong – they did. Richard came to my house, every day, for over three weeks before he was sure they were out and gone. He trapped the adults but there were still babies. He is the only one I know that put foam in the holes first . . . and then waited to see if it remained or was pushed out – indicating that there was still activity. He built a rest for a trap on the side of the house, because that was where it was needed. He is also the nicest, kindest man I’ve met in this business. I was devastated when the previous company allowed a trapped squirrel to die of exposure on my roof during a severe rainstorm. I called and asked them to please come and get it before it died, and they said, “All their technicians had gone home” . . . and it died a horrible, slow death. Richard was just the opposite. As soon as I texted him that there was a squirrel in the trap, he was on his way over. He cares about both his clients and the animals he needs to trap. You will get no better than RICHARD VARNEY and ADVANTAGE PEST CONTROL. They were simply the only ones in over three years and four companies that could actually do the job they promised. I urge you to contact Advantage Pest Control for any of your future needs
- Midcoast Wildlife SpecialistsAbsolutely perfectly! Butch and his crew showed up exactly on time and worked efficiently and professionally. They were done almost 2 hours earlier than the original estimate. They removed two fat bats and several years worth of flying squirrel and bat messes, including all the old soiled insulation. They treated the entire space with sterilizer and animal deterrent and then put down two layers of new insulation. (We'll be warmer this winter too!) We have a 2 year guarantee so we have peace of mind that our home is free of critters and CLEAN. We will always go to Midcoast Wildlife Specialists for any future needs and HIGHLY recommend them
- Advantage Pest ControlSuccessful. Complete. Guaranteed with a five-year partnership. Richard Varney personally was the lead of our bat exclusion process. Under his exceptional skill, experience, professionalism, warm personality and hard work, he finally excluded bats from our home. We are into the 3rd summer with no signs of bats. His approach was multi-step and thorough. In the first phase, he worked with a team of professionals to assess the possible locations and patterns where bats had been breeding for possibly 20 years. The problem was way beyond an occasional bat in the home. We had regular bats showing up in the warm season, every night entering and existing, and guano as the morning evidence of their regular presence. Richard Varney was a partner to the general contractor, the roofing experts, and our family. He was present for a smoke test to find the obvious areas in the roof where bats may be entering. We had a major task to assess if a total removal of our roof (only 25 years into what was estimate as a 50-75 year roof) was the last resort to address the chronic bat problem and the ethics of how to handle a potential bat colony. Richard took the information and then methodically set one-way doors for the bats to leave, and painstakingly sealed the areas suspected as entry points. He also used extensive netting and checked the roof regularly every season. He gave us a 5-year guarantee. In addition to the excellent results, Richard was the most available and communicative contractor we have ever met. He returned calls, texts, emails in lightening speed. He was seamless in his scheduling, checking in, reporting back and keeping in touch. Never have we had a professional in the field of home development, construction, maintenance and care with such exceptional communication and professional skills. We also use him for our standard extermination services, and even there, we have had less mice, ants, pantry moths and unwanted visitors than ever before. We give him our highest recommendation possible
- Modern Pest Services - Augusta, MEWe have a contract with them. They come out 4 times a year. I pay $100 a visit. . I would use them in the future.
- Maine Animal Damage ControlHave had ongoing Groundhog problem for 5 years, the worst was 2009 with 90% garden damage and property damage due to burrows. Local Animal Control only workd part time. This year I decided to get serious, went on-line to research any available resources and found Richard's website. Richard is a Wildlife Control Specialist and Owner of this business. He covers the York to Bangor, ME area. I emailed him one even ininitially and within 15 minutes he called me back. He rebaits the traps as necessary. I check the traps myself daily and call for animal pickup as needed. Richard is a calm, even tempered, professional, who's constantly on the road, focused on what he does, highly knowledgeable, cares a great deal about the animals, and I found him to be very generous with his knowledge..I learned a great deal in just the few short weeks I have been working with him. It has been a privelage to work with him and I wish him continued success
- Advantage Pest ControlThey showed up on time. Very pleasant and professional. Answered a lot of my questions about wasp nests. This is the second time I've had a big nest in this particular tree. Advantage Pest Control removed the nests both times. After the nest was removed he sprayed the area to deter any returning wasps. I'd definitely call them again
- Ehrlich Pest ControlThey were excellent and I used them since 1986. I have used them for everything. They were so good. They know what they were doing and they were well trained. They helped me to get rid of some pest. I am right on the river so I have some field mice and some bats. I would recommend them to anybody that asks about who does the pest controls for us. They helped me with my carpenter ants when I first moved in. They were so good. They seemed to know what they were doing. Anytime I had a problem they never really make me wait very long. When they come in they do they best, they would try everything to help me out. I really like them a lot. They explain things to me and what to do and all kind of things. I am happy. The rice and quality is fine. The price was like everybody else. Even if I have to pay a little more I would keep them if their prices went up. They have been with me for so long and helped me with many different things. I just gave their name out to somebody else. I noticed that when they come into the house they put little booties on like it was raining. It was really nice to have someone that was professional and know what they were doing and if they do not know they would find out for me
- Advantage Pest ControlJarett demonstrated the bait boxes, asked for details on what issues we were having, he then walked through the house to determine where they should be set and documented each location for us. Explained that if we continued to experience any issues to call them right away. He was very polite, professional and provided answers to our questions/concerns about the treatment. The first night I still heard mice in the wall, hopefully within a few more days the problem will be resolved and they leave the premise as predicted. The price was comparable but does seem a little high for placing 5 bait boxes. The 12 mo guarantee helps

"We had been hearing scratching in our attic (ranch home) for a few weeks and had trapped 1 mouse in our basement. After trying to treat the issue ourselves, we threw in the towel and I called Ron. He was amazing! I called him midweek and we made an appointment for that Friday. He spent a few hours checking out our situation and treating for mice. He answered the many questions my husband and I both had. He took the time to explain the type of poison he was using, where he was putting it and alleviating any concerns we had regarding our cat getting into it.

"It was a great experience under the circumstances. The owner called before coming, showed up on time, and explained the situation thoroughly. He then set out a bait trap to catch a large rat that had been seen in our yard the previous two days. He said it may take a couple of days, but we have not seen Mr Rat since. I assume he got him. I would call this company again without hesitation. They did a great job.
