"These guys came out and assessed if we had a pest problem and spoke with me both times in a straight forward and honest way. They correctly identified that we had squirrels in the winter and bats this past summer. They stated what they would do and gave me a quote quickly. They did exactly what they said and the price was accurate. I've now hired them twice, and although I hope I don't have any more pests, if I do, I'll call them again. "
"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 called Justin Ludy, the owner of Palmetto Wildlife Extractors, based on a recommendation from the pest company I have used for many years. We made an appointment. During the time they were to be at our house they had an emergency call that required more time and manpower and they were not able to keep our original appointment date. Justin told his Michael, one of his employees, to make another appointment and correct our problem without charging. The work was completed very well. I later called Justin to send him a fee but he refused and made the work a gift since he said they had disrupted my day when the original appointment was not kept. I certainly appreciated his professinalism and concern for his customers. "
"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."
"On time. great customer service found the problem with my ceiling fan wire was chewed thru got it replaced and worked perfectly 10/10 would recommend for any electrical work"

Firstly, their customer service is impeccable. When I called to inquire about their services, I was greeted warmly and all my questions were answered with clarity and patience. The representative took the time to understand my pest issues and recommended a tailored solution that fit my needs perfectly. Secondly, their technicians are true professionals. The technician who came to my home was punctual, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. He thoroughly inspected my property, identified the pest problem accurately, and explained the treatment plan in detail. It was evident that he was experienced and passionate about his work. Thirdly, the effectiveness of their pest control treatments is impressive. After just one treatment, I noticed a significant reduction in pests around my home. The products they use are clearly top-notch and their methods are both safe and environmentally friendly, which was important to me as a homeowner. Additionally, the pricing was fair and transparent. There were no hidden fees or surprises, and they worked with me to find a schedule that fit within my budget and timeline. Lastly, their commitment to customer satisfaction is outstanding. They followed up with me after the treatment to ensure that I was happy with the results and offered additional advice on preventing future pest problems. Overall, I highly recommend Hawx Pest Control to anyone looking for reliable, effective, and professional pest control services. They are simply the best in the business!"
Using audio and visual methods to discourage birds might work initially, but birds tend to acclimate to them over time. While chemical deterrents can show some effectiveness, their results can be inconsistent. Some may dissipate too quickly, and there's a risk they might cause unintended damage to your surroundings. Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.
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.
DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself.
Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away.
Generally, spring is the best time to hire a pest control service, but it also depends on when you notice the infestation. Insect pest numbers are lower in spring before they hatch, making the extermination and prevention process more manageable as nests and eggs of future pests are eliminated. However, don’t hesitate to hire a pest control specialist when you spot signs of a problem.
DIY removal of birds or bats is not recommended due to safety risks and potential legal protections for certain species. While simple prevention methods can be done yourself, actual removal and control of an infestation should be handled by professionals who are familiar with safe, humane, and effective techniques.
