"Brian answered my call for help within minutes and was at my home within 3 hours, just as he said. The problem involved 2 doves getting into my house through a broken bathroom vent. He set it up so the doves could exit my house but not re-enter. The next morning he came out and installed the permanent fix after making sure I no longer heard the birds. I am very happy with his service and highly recommend this company."

"I received quotes from other wildlife companies who wanted to charge me $5000 plus to remove bats from my attic. I was told I had a â bat problem.â I had Matt and Brian stop by from VerminX to get a third quote. Both were super knowledgeable and took their time to check every nook and cranny in the house before giving their assessment. Contrary to these other wildlife companies, they advised me I do not have a bat problem, explained why and quoted me $1400 to bat proof my attic / residence. It was a breath of fresh air to have someone with integrity to actually assess the problem and not use a â fear factorâ technique by telling me I have a large bat problem when there were just a couple stray bats that managed to work their way into my house. If you donâ t want to be scammed into spending thousands of dollars when you may not have to, I highly recommend giving this company a call to give you a knowledgeable and honest assessment of the problem."

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

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. 

Keeping birds away from a porch can involve a combination of strategies. Start with cleaning your porch. Remove food, debris, and plants that may be attracting feathered friends. Afterward, install physical deterrents like netting or spikes. Next, top off your porch with a decoy or two—and owl or hawk works. When wondering how to keep birds off the porch, it is always best to use humane efforts that won't harm winged creatures or the environment.

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.

Birds are often averse to certain strong scents. For instance, the odor of predator urine, such as that from foxes or hawks, can deter them. Similarly, birds may dislike the pungent aromas of garlic, onions, and chili peppers. Essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and citrus can also be effective in keeping birds away. However, it's important to note that individual bird species might react differently to these scents, so it might require some experimentation to find the most effective repellent for your specific situation.

Small amounts of geese are actually good for the environment. They help spread seeds and lead to more plant growth, but they’re often an invasive species, particularly Canadian geese. This means a small gaggle can quickly grow into a level that litters your lawn with bald patches and excrement.
