"Marty and his daughter worked quickly and did a thorough job. Marty explained our options clearly before starting, and was very careful in setting the correction level and checking our dog's reaction to the completed fence. I feel very positive about the entire project. Charles G. in Mills River"

"I highly recommend Nathan. We are about to get started so I’ll need to come back and comment on quality of work. But so far I’m impressed. Nathan demonstrates solid experience and focus on the quality of fencing. He’s made great suggestions and is transparent on what drives up costs vs where to invest in quality. It’s refreshing to find a contractor we trust and who will do the work on front end to get quality materials. He provides excellent status updates (materials were hard to find during COVID season but he worked to make it happen for us). I will ask him back for many more projects in future."

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

Voles are pretty prolific breeders, managing to squeeze in 5 to 10 litters a year, and each litter usually has around 3 to 5 little ones. These furry creatures are flexible with their love lives, as they can breed all year round, though spring and summer are their prime times. If they're living it up in warmer areas, voles don't take a break and keep reproducing non-stop.

Like many animals, gophers are bothered by strong scents. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil,  and coffee grounds can be used as deterrents against these pests. Similarly, you can try planting lavender, rosemary, sage, geraniums, or pine trees, as these plants all have strong smells that can ward away gophers. While it may be less pleasant to work with, coyote urine scares gophers by tricking the pests into thinking your yard is a predator hot spot.

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.

Foxes can catch rabies. However, it is rare, and even rarer for them to pass this disease on to humans. If you do see a fox in your vicinity acting strangely, disorientated, having seizures, or randomly trying to bite, contact your local animal control, police, or Department of Environmental Control. And if you are scratched or bitten by an animal you suspect has rabies, seek medical treatment immediately.

Most types of lizards are active during warm summer daylight, especially when temperatures rise above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Some lizards take cover under rocks or burrows on sweltering days to escape the heat, reemerging in the cooler afternoon. It is important to note that lizards are cold-blooded creatures that depend on their environment to regulate their body temperature.
