"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"

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.

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.
Bird and bat pest control involves assessing the site, installing deterrents, sealing entry points, and, in some cases, safely removing infestations following regulatory guidelines.
The brown recluse has numerous predators in the wild (or close to your home). They are a valuable part of the ecosystem, too. Their predators often include birds, praying mantis, crickets, chickens, spider wasps, and more. However, the brown recluse spider is a master at hiding, making it much more difficult for predators to hunt them.
It's advisable to avoid using harmful methods to eliminate birds. Poisoning birds is inhumane and can have unintended ecological consequences, affecting other wildlife and pets. Similarly, using firearms or other lethal means poses safety risks and could be illegal in many areas. Sticky substances like adhesives can cause birds to become trapped and injured. Lastly, playing excessively loud or distressing noises can stress birds and humans. Focusing on humane and environmentally responsible strategies is essential when dealing with bird issues.
The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.
