"I was told bed bugs had infested my old mattress as the mattress techs were removing it (they actually refused to remove it; I had to ask a passerby for help). I contacted Heathy Home Pest Control and was told to put potentially affected clothing in the dryer for an hour and bag them tightly. A tech came the next day. He found no bed bugs in my bedroom but rather carcasses of bugs under the love seat in my living room. The tech sprayed thoroughly and explained all about bed bugs. I have 10 days to call back if I see any bugs."

"John was very professional and efficient. He was able to get to us fairly quickly. He explained what he needed to do and approximately how long it would take. He also came back a few weeks later and cleaned and sanitized the area, which was helpful to my husband and I."

"Chris was great to work with. We had him come out to remove 3 groundhogs.He was very friendly and kind throughout the whole process. He genuinely cares about both his customers and the animals he works with. He was very gentle and humane with the wildlife, which was important to us. He was also incredibly responsive and would come pick up traps as fast as possible so the animals weren’t sitting around. His pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend Chris if you need wildlife removal and want someone who actually cares about doing things the right way."

"Our experience with Batman Enterprises was great. He was able to come out a day earlier than scheduled, cleaned out the bird nest and mud daubers in out fireplace and installed a vent screen that was missing. He was very professional and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"Needed moles removed from yard. Scott was able to come out the next day and place traps. He will come every two weeks or so to check the traps and will continue to remove any moles caught over the next year. Was actually surprised at how reasonable the price was for the service."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Some suggest mothballs as a deterrent for iguanas, but they are ineffective and harmful. Mothballs contain chemicals like naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, which are toxic to humans and animals, including iguanas. The fumes can cause respiratory problems, skin irritation, and other health issues. Moreover, using mothballs outdoors is not recommended, as they contaminate soil and water sources.

Raccoons are primarily crepuscular and nocturnal, meaning they are most active at dawn, dusk, and throughout the night. While less common, they may come out during the day to find food, especially in warm months or during the spring birthing season (April and May) when caring for their young. Seasonally, raccoons are active year-round and do not truly hibernate. However, during periods of severe cold, they will often remain in their dens for extended periods.

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.

You can take multiple approaches to keep animals out of your edible landscape. You can use natural repellents such as mint and cayenne pepper to deter them from your garden. You can also build a fence (or opt for a privet hedge) or keep the most enticing plants in a sectioned-off area. The most efficient method of keeping your four-legged guests at bay is to determine what animal it is and create a customized plan for them. 

According to the Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management, no frightening devices are proven effective for squirrel control. This is likely because the squirrels quickly become habituated to the noises. However, strobe lights show some promise, so motion-activated lighting could be an option worth considering as part of your integrated pest management strategy.
