"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."
"Very knowledgeable guy who seem to know what he’s doing. Don’t know results of spraying. Have had much rain since. Will have to see if it worked. Terminex will spray again the beginning of next month."
"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."
Some birds of prey, like owls, hunt at night. Hawks are diurnal and need good light to see their prey. You could see them circling anytime from dawn to dusk. Species like the common red-tailed hawk are most active in the early morning and late evening when their prey is also typically on the go.
Metal coil-shaped retriever tools (around $50) help remove empty nests and debris from chimneys. Unless you are sure the nest is vacant, we recommend calling in a pro to handle bird’s nest removal from chimneys, vents, roofs, and other hard-to-reach places.
The cost of pest control services depends on various factors, but the average homeowner pays around $175, with a typical range of $100 to $500. Your final cost will be influenced by the type of pest, the size and severity of the infestation, and the number of treatments needed.
Service costs also vary by frequency:
One-time service: $300–$550
Initial visit for ongoing service: $150–$300
Monthly visits: $40–$70
Quarterly visits: $100–$300
Annual visits: $300–$550
For specific pest examples, getting rid of spiders typically costs between $100 and $300, whereas a termite infestation can cost from $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the extent of the damage.
Woodpeckers usually feed on homes when there is a food source present, and termites are one possible source. However, the presence of woodpeckers doesn’t necessarily mean there are termites. They may also be feeding on more harmless insects like ants or spiders. If woodpeckers seem drawn to one particular part of your home’s siding, it might be worth hiring a termite inspector to check for the presence of these pesky critters.
Hanging wind chimes or motion-activated speakers near your home may be an effective way to deter woodpeckers, as sudden movement and sound often scare birds away. You could also try using reflective decorative items such as pinwheels or mirrors or placing decoys of large predatory birds in your yard. If these measures don’t deter the woodpeckers, you may need the help of a bird removal pro.
