"Absolutely top notch service you will receive from Inspect Pest Control everytime. The technician Justin is a true professional and extremely knowledgeable in the pest control field. I had a queen bee trying to nest in my house and Justin took care of it with ease. A queen bee selfie was captured see photo. Justin not only addressed the bee problem from today but also eliminated the ants and mice issues I had from a previou visit as well. I highly recommend Jusin and Inspect Pest Control for any pest issues you have. They consistently deliver top quality customer service and product to address your pest problem. Thanks again!"

"I've used Anchor Pest Control for various projects. First being our home inspection for termites; then to treat for bees and ants for the last 4 years; and now spraying for ticks. Always so quick to help, never has to come back twice, and great service. I've gladly referred Anchor to family and friends."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Like many animals, gophers are bothered by strong scents. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil,  and coffee grounds can be used as deterrents against these pests. Similarly, you can try planting lavender, rosemary, sage, geraniums, or pine trees, as these plants all have strong smells that can ward away gophers. While it may be less pleasant to work with, coyote urine scares gophers by tricking the pests into thinking your yard is a predator hot spot.

Identifying the specific animal running on your roof at night can be challenging without direct observation. Common nocturnal roof visitors include raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and rats. Raccoons are bigger and can create heavy thumping sounds. Squirrels are agile and may produce rapid scurrying noises. Opossums tend to move stealthily with less noise. Rats can make scratching or gnawing sounds. To determine the culprit, look for signs like footprints, droppings, or damaged areas near the roof. For accurate identification, consult a pest control professional or set up wildlife cameras near potential entry points.

Foxes are primarily nocturnal, meaning you’re less likely to see one strutting onto your lawn in the middle of the day. However, daytime activity is more common if you have a female with her cubs on your property during the spring and summer. And you can see adaptable urban foxes at any time when regular food is available.

The time of day that most snakes are active is at night. This is when they prefer to hunt since they can do so under the cover of darkness, out of sight of predators and the prey they stalk. However, some snake species prefer very hot temperatures and are strictly active during the day.

To keep animals out, you must prevent them from entering. As long as they can get in, the problem will persist. That said, consider making your attic less inviting using deterrents like motion-activated lights or ultrasonic devices. Additionally, keeping a well-maintained, clean, and uncluttered attic that you regularly inspect for activity may make the space less attractive to critters.
