"Nathan is very personable and thoroughly explains what he can do for the client and points out other preventive measures to take. I needed bird nest removed from vent about 12 feet above ground. After that he put cages (from Menards) over 2 of the vents. After that he caulked on the roof and eaves any locations that could cause bee/wasp nest or possibly bats. He went beyond what I hired him for. I will call him again when/if needed. He takes pride in his work."
"The people that came to fix my bird problem was very nice new what they were doing they were prompt courteous and they quoted me a really nice price I had someone I had talk to earlier that was trying to scam me for $2900 to remove a Birdsnest and close off the entryway to the Ness I wasnâ t going to use them because I felt funny about it when I didnâ t pay and told them that they would have to get paid when the service was done they did not show up"

"I spoke with Buck and decided on their yearly program to control a black ant problem. He was very informative and his tech was out the next day. I have seen a dramatic decrease within my home after two treatments. They are going to retreat within my home after the Covid Stay at Home is over."
"Good service. CJB solved my squirrel in the attic problem and deterred birds from nesting above my porch. They use humane trapping and removal techniques."
"Company was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. Because the bird had left for the morning, company was able to place screen to bar the animal out in the future. So far so good."
Yes, predator decoys work to keep birds away, at least temporarily. However, if the decoy remains motionless in the same spot for a long enough time, the birds will eventually wise up and realize it's a fake. Keep changing the location of the predator decoy to ensure that the birds keep their guard up and maintain their distance.
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.
It's advisable to avoid using harmful methods to eliminate birds. Poisoning birds is inhumane and can have unintended ecological consequences, affecting other wildlife and pets. Similarly, using firearms or other lethal means poses safety risks and could be illegal in many areas. Sticky substances like adhesives can cause birds to become trapped and injured. Lastly, playing excessively loud or distressing noises can stress birds and humans. Focusing on humane and environmentally responsible strategies is essential when dealing with bird issues.
No, mothballs do not keep bats away. Not only are mothballs completely ineffective when repelling or removing bats, but using them could be illegal, depending on where you live. Remember, bats are federally protected, and it's illegal to use chemicals during the removal process, and mothballs tend to fall into this category.
