"We hired Andy with One-way service to get the squirrels out of our attic. Andy was responsive, knowledgeable and charged a reasonable fee for the service we needed. He was easy to do business with. Great customer service! I’d recommend him and his team to anyone who has a similar need."
"Justin came out the same day I called and began the process of setting traps for squirrel removal. He also sealed and secured the attic and other vulnerable areas. Excellent knowledge and work!"
"Jason and assistant were very prompt in time of arrival, and took great care to explain everything relating to the clearing of birds nesting within multiple air vent outlets of our home. Work was completed in a timely manner and appeared to be effective in resolving the problem of the birds that had invaded our air duct outlet vents. Additionally, Jason took extra care in safely extracting a couple of baby birds and after reconstructing their nest, placed that nest in a nearby tree to allow those infant birds a chance of survival success."
"We were having a problem with squirrels in our attic. We had a roofer repair the entry hole, but after about 6 months, the squirrels chewed two new entrances into our attic, one of which was right next to the original repair. We decided weâ d best contact a wildlife removal company. After calling several companies, we were impressed with Nathan, the owner of SoloCal Wildlife Removal. He was polite and informative. He took an online screen shot of our home and indicated on the photo where he thought our house was vulnerable, and he was exactly right. We asked him to come out and give us an estimate because of his initiative and professionalism. We ended up selecting SoloCal Wildlife Removal for the reasons above, but also for his reasonable pricing, and the fact that he is a local small business owner. Nathan promptly took care of our squirrel problem and thoroughly and neatly repaired the entry holes. Plus, he guarantees his work for a year. We would certainly recommend him to others."
"Yes, they were everything I wanted to have done. Avispa’s employee did an excellent job. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for pest control."
"They were suppose to take the shutters off and wash them, but they could not get the shutters off. Once off, they were going to put a material in the back of them so that bats would not be able to enter under our shutters any longer. Instead, they had to fill them with foam. "
"I have been a customer of Bugg Busters Inc. for 15 years. I met the owner Gary Ward at one of my rental homes on the first visit. He was honest and told me that nothing was needed at the home in the area of Termite work. I started using Bugg Busters after that at all my rentals and at my home. Bugg Busters completed waterproofing at my office in Lincolnton last year. I had water pouring in from the road out front of my office. The Bugg Busters team installed a drain system and treated my building for termites. They also put down plastic to control the moisture. My favorite service they offer is the EZ Breathe which is a house ventilation system. No more bad odors from my dogs or from that crawl space. I have the Ez Breathe at my home, office and my mothers house. I will continue to use this company for years to come."
Once the animals and their young are out of the house, remove the nest and locate any entry points. Some may be difficult to find because some animals can fit through very small holes. Once you’ve located as many entry points as possible, use materials such as metal or masonry to block off the entry. Ideally, you should choose materials that most animals cannot chew through. Create a one-way door or flap to allow animals to leave but not return. Additional methods include using repellants designed to make an area unappealing to the types of animals that find your home so inviting.
Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them.
Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.
Keeping your pool cover clean is a good way to keep smaller animals from running across it or using it as shelter. Small animals may use leaf debris on top of the cover to hide. Cleaning also removes nuts that may fall from a nearby tree that could otherwise be a tempting snack for some animals, like squirrels.
Set live traps or install a one-way door to evict squirrels, rodents, and other animals from your attic. Once they’re out, seal any entry points to prevent the animals from returning. If you’re dealing with an infestation, call a pro.
Pest control measures for bird and bat issues typically last from several weeks to months, depending on the effectiveness of the implemented solutions and the return of conducive conditions.
