"Did an excellent job of sealing up the house. Could not install the one-way vents until after August 15 due to protection for the bats during the breeding season. Will return after that date and finish the job. He only charged for the work that was completed. My neighbor had used him in the past and was well pleased."

"We had the team check our house to make sure we didn’t have bats since two of our neighbors did. Thankfully, they did not find any current bats in our house, but apparently did have a few at one time. They did find evidence of mice/rodent in the attic. So they put out appropriate measures for that. They also reviewed our insulation and noticed that it was quite light in areas. It will be coming back to actually put in new insulation for us. They were very friendly and very hard workers. They took their time, checking the house to make sure there weren’t any holes that bats could come in since the neighbors had a maternal population of bats. They took excellent photos/videos of things they found and showed it to us. Offered to help me carrying my groceries when I return from Sam’s Club. Just a super nice crew. Thanks so much team. We really appreciate it and we look forward to seeing you when you put in the new insulation!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Experts have mixed opinions about spraying spiders. A recent study found that chestnut and peppermint oil have a repelling effect on some spider species, but were ineffective at repelling others. You should consult with an expert exterminator to find out what works best to repel the spiders living in and around your home.

Some of the best smells for keeping squirrels away are those that have a spicy or pungent odor. This includes pepper, garlic powder, vinegar, mint, and coffee. Just be careful when handling cayenne or chili pepper. Don’t touch your face to prevent getting some in your eyes, and be sure to keep it away from children and pets.

An owl's worst enemy in the wild is often other raptors and environmental factors. Among the avian threats, larger owls or other birds of prey can pose a danger, engaging in territorial disputes or competing for food resources. Terrestrial predators like foxes, raccoons, and larger mammals may target owl nests or young fledglings. Environmental factors like severe weather conditions, habitat loss, and food availability changes can also significantly impact owl populations.

Gophers are ubiquitous in certain areas, and the only way to completely get rid of them is to put down gopher wire two feet below the surface of your soil and vertically along the edges of your yard. Unfortunately, this may not be a practical solution unless you’re completely redoing your yard or installing an aboveground garden. Alternatively, you may consider putting underground rock barriers around the edge of your yard to discourage gopher visits. However, you’ll still likely get some pests because they can dig as deep as 6 feet below the surface.

Exterminators can get rid of your current ant problem, but they won’t prevent ants from coming back. So it’s important to implement ant preventatives to avoid future infestations.

The primary reason ants enter your home is to find food. If they can’t find any, they won’t survive. So, the most effective way to prevent ant infestations is to clean, clean, and clean some more. 

Keep your kitchen sparkling and wash your dishes immediately (or at least give them a quick rinse and wash off leftover food). Take out your garbage and compost as often as possible and tightly seal all your kitchen containers, especially the mason jars you use to hold your sugar—sugar is gold to ants.

You can also hire a local handyperson to help you prevent future ant infestations. The handyman can seal cracks and fix leaks throughout your home, which will keep any ants from entering.
