"Sheller and sons did a fantastic, prompt, thorough and honest job on my fence! From hiring them to completion it only 4 days. They were super communicative and kept me updated throughout the experience while I was at work. I had an existing chain link fence with a lot of large stumps grown into it. They removed everything thoroughly and my new wood privacy fence is perfect, sturdy, and with a custom gate that fits perfectly. By far this was the best experience I’ve had with hiring a home pro. I would 10/10 hire them again and plan on recommending them to anyone I can. Thanks Sheller and sons!"

I am branching off from a larger company restoring log homes. I am starting a new branch of log home restoration because I could see that the other log home company was just in the business for money. when I was on a job with the owner of the other company I work for my coworker did sloppy work and the owner of the company liked his work because he got it finished faster.

Animal Fencing FAQs, answered by experts

Squirrels have a strong sense of smell and can be deterred by various scents they dislike. Effective options include peppermint oil, rosemary, garlic, cinnamon, white vinegar, coffee grounds, and predator urine. Squirrels also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based repellents a good choice for protecting specific areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a garlic and vinegar spray and apply it daily. Additionally, placing strong-smelling items like certain soaps or dryer sheets near where squirrels frequent can also be effective.

Scent deterrents like ammonia, vinegar, mothballs, and pepper can help keep coyotes away, but these are best used in tandem with other preventative measures. Remember that ammonia and vinegar can kill your plants and/or grass, so it’s best to soak rags in these substances or spray them on hardscaped areas to avoid damaging your landscape.

Some suggest mothballs as a deterrent for iguanas, but they are ineffective and harmful. Mothballs contain chemicals like naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, which are toxic to humans and animals, including iguanas. The fumes can cause respiratory problems, skin irritation, and other health issues. Moreover, using mothballs outdoors is not recommended, as they contaminate soil and water sources.

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. 

If a coyote approaches you, never run away, even if it goes against your natural instinct. Make yourself look big, shout loudly, and throw something in the coyote's direction. Be persistent and continue these scare tactics until they move away. Then, you should move away slowly, always facing the coyote.
