"Very professional. Took care of the bird problem, by putting up hardware cloth, to block the birds from building a nest on my home. You can't tell there is hardware cloth up on my house, unless you look very closely. Glad I hired them. Jeri was great. Thanks again."
"I contacted Jason by phone. After viewing good reccomendations on Angie's List and getting recommendations from other pest control companies that don't do trapping. Jason was polite and professional. He gave me a two hour window of when he would come to the house. He was there right on time. He set up two traps and spent a good deal of time explaining a lot about skunks. Most importantly how to avoid attracting them in the future. The first night we caught a opossum. We called Jason and he came and released him for no additional charge. He moved one of the traps where there were fresh markings. By the next night we had our stinky visitor. I once again called Jason, we agreed on a time for him to come over. He had the skunk removed before he even knocked on the door. I have to say I hope we never have another resident skunk but if we do Accurate Wildlife Eviction would be the company I would call."
"Bob is the best. A family of woodchucks had taken up residence in my backyard and under my front porch. After a few years they became a bit aggressive. He arrived 1 hour after I called, set traps at every hole they dug and he came back everyday and got them all. A skunk and a racoon also got live trapped to boot. Fair, reasonable, reputable, reliable, friendly and has some great stories. Highly recommended."
"This was our second time working with Steve from Pest EZ for pest control (the first time was our yellow jacket infestation two years ago) and we can't say enough good things. He is extremely thorough, explanatory, and overall great to work with. He helped us identify where the mice were coming from, set out poison traps, and he even managed to catch a rogue mouse. We feel so confident working with him and Pest EZ that we recommend their service to anyone and everyone. Thank you Steve and Pest EZ!!!!!!"
"I called at 10am and they were able to fit me in that morning because they were in the area. Lee cleaned out the fireplace, while Kevin installed caps on the roof over the chimney and furnace vents. Lee removed TWENTY dead birds, nesting materials, and other debris. He said the fireplace is in great shape; Kevin said the chimneys looked good, but warned of a tree that's very close to the vent which can affect draft. They helped me find the on/off valve for the gas (we are new to this house so did not know where it was). Lee left the family room spotless and both he and Kevin were very knowledgeable and professional about everything. I would definitely recommend them for all chimney needs. "
In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it’s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it’s been disturbed, it’s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.
Once the animals and their young are out of the house, remove the nest and locate any entry points. Some may be difficult to find because some animals can fit through very small holes. Once you’ve located as many entry points as possible, use materials such as metal or masonry to block off the entry. Ideally, you should choose materials that most animals cannot chew through. Create a one-way door or flap to allow animals to leave but not return. Additional methods include using repellants designed to make an area unappealing to the types of animals that find your home so inviting.
No, you shouldn’t have to worry about bats in your yard as long as they don’t make their way inside your house. Typically, bats hang around backyards in order to consume bugs, especially if they’re located in the U.S. Bats that are native to North America can consume more than 500 bugs per hour, so they may actually benefit your yard if mosquitoes are prevalent.
