"Quality service provided. I needed a bird nest removed from above my exterior front door. B&B removed the nest, cleaned the area and installed spikes to prevent them from returning. I'm very pleased with the service provided by B&B. It was worth every dollar spent."

"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."

"Damien came out today and inspected our attic for possible bats but thank goodness there wasn’t any but must be birds. He sealed all the open areas that something can go in or out. The charge was very very reasonable to be honest not much at all. In the near future if we need someone again will will definitely call this company back. Thank you Damien."

"My service pro is Vince. I have lived at my current address for about 5 years and during this time, I have used several different pest control providers. Vince, with O.C.D Pest Solutions provided the most comprehensive initial pest control treatment I have ever seen. I always pay close attention to workmanship during the first few appointments and I must say; I have never seen a technician extend a wand to the eaves on my home and remove all of the spider webs. He also located and destroyed all of the wasp nests that were on my home. While treating he took the time to explain in detail all of the treatments and what I can expect from each. Hands down the most comprehensive pest control treatment that I have ever had. Finding a company that genuinely thrives on helping others and solving problems is not easy these days! Look no further, I highly recommend O.C.D Pest Solutions."

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Armadillos are not considered friendly animals. They are solitary and tend to avoid human interaction. While not aggressive, they can be shy and reclusive, often scurrying away when approached. Armadillos may carry diseases, so handling them is not advised. 

Ground moles are not typically dangerous. They're not known to carry rabies like many other wild animals, such as raccoons, skunks, and bats. And they don't typically bite humans, although it's possible if they feel threatened. If you do get bitten by a mole, it's best to see a physician to be safe, but most often, the bite will heal on its own unless it gets infected.

Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:

  • Bats

  • Birds

  • Groundhogs

  • Moles and voles

  • Opossums

  • Mice and rats

  • Raccoons

  • Skunks

  • Squirrels

The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area. 

Squirrels have a strong sense of smell and can be deterred by various scents they dislike. Effective options include peppermint oil, rosemary, garlic, cinnamon, white vinegar, coffee grounds, and predator urine. Squirrels also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based repellents a good choice for protecting specific areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a garlic and vinegar spray and apply it daily. Additionally, placing strong-smelling items like certain soaps or dryer sheets near where squirrels frequent can also be effective.

There are DIY methods and store-bought pesticides available for the public to use. However, these pesticides also come with a risk, and you need to follow the directions correctly and take precautionary measures to prevent exposure to these chemicals. These methods may be an option for small pest problems, but you should call in a pest control specialist for persistent pests and infestations.
