Q: What time of day do hawks hunt?

• <div><p>Some birds of prey, like owls, hunt at night. Hawks are diurnal and need good light to see their prey. You could see them circling anytime from dawn to dusk. Species like the common red-tailed hawk are most active in the early morning and late evening when their prey is also typically on the go.</p></div>

Q: Will pest-repellent plants kill animals?

• <div><p>Some of the plants listed above, like daffodils, are poisonous to many animals if eaten. But wild animals instinctively avoid them, for the most part. Household pets don&rsquo;t always have the same survival instinct, which is why it&rsquo;s a good idea to familiarize yourself with common plants that pose a danger to cats and dogs.</p></div>

Q: How is bird and bat pest control professionally conducted?

• <div><p>Bird and bat pest control involves assessing the site, installing deterrents, sealing entry points, and, in some cases, safely removing infestations following regulatory guidelines.</p></div>

Q: What attracts bats to your yard?

• <div><p>Trees that provide a habitat to bats and an abundance of bugs&mdash;their main food source&mdash;will attract bats to your yard. Because the North American landscape has changed so much in recent years, bats have a harder time finding trees with cavities to shelter in. If your yard has a dead or dying tree with a lot of sun exposure, bats will likely be drawn to it because trees with those features are less common. </p></div>

Q: How long do pest inspections take?

• <div><p>Depending on the size of your home and accessibility, expect professional pest inspections to take between <b>30 and 60 minutes</b>. If you have a large property or limited accessibility, pest inspections may take longer. </p></div>

"We came home to an unexpected wasp nest on the inside of our basement wall. Recon came and safely removed the nest. They filled in all the holes where the wasps were getting in, and sprayed around our house for additional bugs. The whole process was done timely and with care to us and our dog. This is a great company and I will recommend them to anyone who needs or has problems with bugs and pesky wasps."

"I needed to replace my home's original deck. A friend recommended Jim Pull with Premier Exteriors, so I had Jim out for a consultation and estimate. I'll say right away that Jim has a kind and gentle personality, and he struck me as being very honest. Once we settled on a design, Jim sent me a quote with digital drawings and a fair price. Once we gave the go-ahead, Jim took it from there. They kept me updated as to the status of the city permits, as Omaha was backlogged. The crew performed their work in a timely and professional fashion. They were very respectful, personable, dedicated, and their workmanship is top notch, as is the quality of the materials.
