"We hired Steffin to fill in the big puddles forming in our long dirt driveway. He came to our home very quickly to provide us a quote, and had the job scheduled less than a week out. I only received quotes from Steffin and Jensen's, and Steffin's quote was much more reasonable for our budget. On the day for the work to be done, he and his assistant Matt came out and worked efficiently through the morning and early afternoon. By 3pm we had new gravel installed on our driveway and he even let me and my 1-year old son sit on his tractor for a photo op. The work was done about a month ago and I waited to post the review to see how the dirt settled, literally. Now, even after a heavy rain, there are minimal puddles. A huge improvement compared to the "pond" that had previously been forming at the end of the driveway. Steffin and Matt were a wealth of knowledge with lots of experience. I was able to get quite a few general other questions answered about home repair while they were here. They also did some work on our sliding door so I can close it again without having to lift it, much appreciated! I'd recommend this business for gravel work and any other handyman needs. The only thing I would have done differently is perhaps choose a smaller gravel size for the driveway as the ones we used are difficult for our toddler to ride his bike over."

Animal Fencing FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Regular lawn care keeps snakes away because it eliminates common hiding places. You can deter snakes by trimming grass, shrubs, and trees and removing weeds from your lawn and gardens. Clear away leaves and other debris that could serve as a potential snake habitat. You can also seal entry points around building perimeters and install metal snake fencing.

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.

Vinegar can keep some animals at bay, like deer, rabbits, foxes, and raccoons. Keep in mind that your household pets, like cats and dogs, also don’t like the smell of vinegar. You can soak rags in white vinegar and put them up around your garden beds to keep the pesky critters from eating your plants.

Our experts prioritize safe, family-friendly treatments, minimizing risks while managing pests effectively.
