"They came over the same day and within 30 minutes had gotten rid of the birds nest and covered it with a pest cover. And they found another vent in the soffit that was missing a cover and patched that up as well. Great service, job well done, very responsive. Could not be happier with the service. Thank you."
"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."
"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."
"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."
If a wild animal enters your yard, prioritize safety for yourself and the animal. Remember to avoid direct contact and always keep a safe distance. Contact local authorities or a wildlife rehabilitation center if the animal is hurt or in distress. Both sources should be able to guide you on how to proceed and send help if needed. Please wait for the animal to leave naturally for non-threatening situations, as many will. To deter future visits, implement measures like securing trash cans, sealing entry points, and removing potential food sources.
Finding a dead bat in your home can be frightening, even during spooky season. The United States Department of Interior states that if you find a dead bat, take these steps:
Photograph the bat safely to help the wildlife agency determine the species
Use disposable gloves to place the bat into a plastic bag, making sure to spray with disinfectant and close the bag securely
Thoroughly clean your hands and any clothing that came into contact with the bat
If you see one dead bat, you might have a large bat infestation that needs to be treated immediately. Call a local pest control company to properly inspect your home for other bats.
Yes, bats can cause quite a bit of damage to the attic. Their weight and movement from flying around can damage insulation, and they can chew through wiring and the walls. As if this isn’t enough, they leave their droppings throughout, which carry harmful bacteria and is dangerous for humans to breathe in, not to mention the extremely foul-smelling odor.
Certain strong smells may help repel bats, though this is not a foolproof method and is best used in conjunction with other deterrence strategies. Scents like peppermint oil, eucalyptus, cinnamon, cloves, and mint are often suggested as natural remedies. To create a spray, you can mix two cups of warm water with half a cup of sugar and a few drops of your preferred essential oil. Apply this mixture using a spray bottle to possible entry points and throughout the affected area, such as an attic. While this home remedy is popular, evidence supporting its effectiveness is limited.
No single deterrent will work 100 percent of the time, so we suggest combining deterrents to ensure your seed has the best possible chance to grow. Using bird netting over your seed, with physical deterrents like mylar tape coupled with hanging bird feeders at the edges of your growing area—and removing any bird’s nests, if possible—will give your seeds the best possible chance for success.
