"Came quite quickly (under 2 hours) and got the bird out of my basement. They also performed an inspection to see how the bird got in and provided a free estimate for some other services they could perform. I was not pressured at all to do those other services."
"I highly recommend this exceptional business, whose knowledgeable and professional staff consistently demonstrate a genuine interest in helping their clients. They are punctual, courteous, and willing to address any questions or concerns. Their commitment to safely using their products and providing outstanding service makes them the ideal choice for all pest control needs."
"George is awesome!!!! He gave us a quote before coming out and stuck to it. He did a thorough review of our house, inside and out, and gave us feedback as he went around about what should be addressed and what wasn't needed. He sprayed for bugs and sealed up parts of our house where mice and other animals could enter. I would definitely recommend Elite Pest control to anyone!"
"They went above and beyond in extracting 3 baby birds that had built a nest in our bathroom vent. It took multiple trips and some acrobatics on the roof but they made sure the birds were extracted and relocated. Would highly recommend!"
"Perfect. Pests stay gone with proper maintenance. Defender Pest Control is prompt, reliable, knowledgeable, and most importantly, EFFECTIVE. Will definitely use again."
"Larry and his team have been taking care of both our Cabin and our Home for over 10 years. We previously had a well known national pest control company that treated the symptom of our problems without getting to the cause of them.
We had mice (mouse?) issues, the national company brought traps, Larry took the time to figure out where they were getting in and eliminated it.
We use Blackhawk’s annual plan for both
Home and Cabin, and couldn’t be happier

When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try:
Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.
Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away.
Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.
Many different types of animals like to build nests in attics. The types may vary depending on your home’s condition and location and you can prevent them by sealing off entry points and eliminating food sources.
The most common critters that like to build nests in your attic include:
Raccoons
Bats
Squirrels
Mice
Rats
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.
Signs include visible nests, droppings, frequent loud noises, or structural damage caused by these animals, indicating a need for pest control intervention.
The brown recluse has numerous predators in the wild (or close to your home). They are a valuable part of the ecosystem, too. Their predators often include birds, praying mantis, crickets, chickens, spider wasps, and more. However, the brown recluse spider is a master at hiding, making it much more difficult for predators to hunt them.
