Our home is probably the largest investment that most of us will ever make. Let Pointe help safeguard this investment from pesky invaders and damaging pests. With our exclusive PointeGuard Exterior Protection and our PinPointe Interior Service, our highly trained and certified specialists will create a pest free sanctuary for you and your family. \n\nBotanical pest control - environmentally friendly ecosmart\n \nAs part of our continuing commitment to leaving a minimal impact on our environment, we are proud to offer our botanical EcoSmart product line. \n Unique and Patented Mode-Of-Action \n \n EcoSMART�s plant oil active ingredients target and block a key neurotransmitter receptor site called octopamine, which is found only in invertebrates (i.e. insects).\n \n Unprecedented margin-of-safety\n \n Mammals do not have receptors for Octopamine, so EcoSMART�s plant oils have no adverse effect on them. Additionally, many of the plant oils used are classified as �Generally Recognized As Safe� (GRAS) and/or are approved for food and beverage consumption by the U.S. FDA. \n \n Effective against a broad spectrum of insect pests\n \n EcoSMART�s products provide quick knockdown and control against a wide variety of indoor and outdoor pests.\n \n Attractive fragrances\n \n Because the active ingredient is comprised of plant essential oils, there may be a �floral/botanical� fragrance associated with some of EcoSMART�s products. This fragrance is not harmful and will dissipate after a short period of time.\n\n Customer satisfaction or its free! If we do not provide a service to your level of satisfaction, we will promptly return for free until you are satisfied. If the problem persists, we will refund your last service payment.\n\n\nMake the switch to Pointe and find out what others already know; that nobody takes care of their customers like Pointe. Nobody!\n

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Armadillos have very strong smelling capabilities to track down insects efficiently. But this superpower is actually a double-edged sword because their extreme sense of smell also causes them to be more sensitive and deterred by strong odors. To keep them at bay, you can place small amounts of substances like vinegar, ammonia, and mothballs around your property and near armadillo hotspots.

Although you can technically flood an armadillo out of its hole, it’s important to remember that this can be potentially fatal to the animal. Armadillos sleep between 16 and 18 hours a day, and if you perform this technique while they’re deep in sleep, they may not awake soon enough to save themselves.

When relocating, release a groundhog at least 5 miles from the capture site. This distance helps ensure that the groundhog does not return to your property. Make sure to relocate it to a suitable habitat, such as a wooded area or a place with plenty of ground cover, to increase its chances of survival without disrupting existing wildlife. Additionally, always check local regulations, as relocating wildlife may be restricted or require a permit in some areas.

If they find a hospitable spot with shelter, water, and a steady food source, there’s a good chance groundhogs will return—or not leave at all.

Small animals, particularly rats and mice, like to burrow inside pool heaters. To keep them out, seal any entry points with caulk or steel wool. Then, place mothballs inside or around your pool heater. As a final measure of protection, you can cover the pool heater in hardware cloth or wood paneling to further block entry points.

While some pets, especially dogs, may chase rabbits away due to their natural hunting instincts, relying solely on pets to deter rabbits is not foolproof. Some rabbits can become accustomed to the presence of pets over time, and not all pets possess the same level of hunting inclination. What’s more, rabbits can potentially carry serious diseases like Tularemia and E. cuniculi, which they could pass to your pets.
