"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."

"Live trapped two opossums that were living under a cantilevered portion of our house. Elite Pest Control was the only one of five companies to immediately respond to our Angi request. They also repaired the hole made by the animals that gave them access to the floor joists. I highly recommend Elite Pest Control for small animal capture and removal."
"Perfect. Pests stay gone with proper maintenance. Defender Pest Control is prompt, reliable, knowledgeable, and most importantly, EFFECTIVE. Will definitely use again."
"Aaron did an excellent job. My gutters have screens, but had lots of buildup of dirt, etc, from years of not being cleaned. Aaron gave them a thorough cleaning using water and did a good job of cleaning up all the debris that flowed from the downspouts."
"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

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.
Numerous predators kill hornets, including frogs, birds, lizards, bats, spiders, and hedgehogs. Some larger predators, including rats, skunks, and racoons, will occasionally attack a hornet nest in order to eat the larvae inside. These natural predators typically don’t eat enough hornets to make them an effective form of hornet control.
Look for goose repellents that contain the ingredient methyl anthranilate. This is a natural chemical found in grape juice. In human food, it’s often used as grape flavoring. With geese, it’s highly irritating. Grape Kool-Aid contains methyl anthranilate, the active ingredient in most bird repellents. It won’t harm geese, but it will deter them.
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.
Fake owls are a common goose deterrent decoy and one of the most humane ways to scare away geese. Unfortunately, some geese are wise to fake predators. Decoys can be more effective if you move them around frequently or purchase ones with motion features. Decoys that move in the wind are also more effective than stationary decoys.
