"They were very thorough with the inspection and the team sealed all gaps to prevent birds from getting in and nesting in my house. They arrived to do the work on time and were professional and courteous."
"Did a great job! Nathan and Jacob caught and picked up a raccoon on my property. While they were there a bird got stuck in my pellet stove, and they were able to get it out safely."
"Steve arrived on time. He was unable to find the dead critter in question, but inspected my home and closed up a few suspected points of entry. He was very accommodating and professional. I would recommend him to anyone needing critter control."
"I had originally contacted Birds and Bats service, but they were too expensive, did nothing to help. I moved on to Michigan Animal Control and they are amazing, have good information and service. I hired them and they will help me with getting rid of bats and any other animal issues."
"I wanted a pest control treatment, but more than that I wanted to know what caused the insects to suddenly be in my house. Pest Control Solutions was very knowledgeable and let me ask questions until I understood what was happening in my house and what they were doing about it. They pinpointed where insects were coming in so I could have it fixed permanently, rather than trying to upsell me a permanent exterminating service like other companies did. I feel like I got lucky when I found them, and I really cannot recommend them highly enough."

"My experience with bat removal services has been excellent. A bird control program was conducted a few days ago, and it appears to be working. They are also cost-effective and reliable."
Hawk attacks on pets are rare, and they won’t target animals that outweigh them. Hawks typically weigh between one and three pounds. That means you don’t need to worry if you have a Labrador Retriever or French Bulldog. However, small cats and toy breed dogs, like Chihuahuas, are at risk. Pet attacks are more likely in winter when food is scarce or in the early summer when inexperienced young hawks are honing their hunting skills.
There are a few ways to keep pesky bugs away from your garden. One option you have is to plant flowers so beneficial insects like ladybugs can control pests for you. A similar method is companion planting, which means you’ll grow vegetables that’ll discourage pests, like garlic, onions, and basil. The best pest prevention method will depend on the bugs you have issues with and the plants in your garden.
The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.
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.
