"I found these guys on HomeAdvisor, chose the option that I wanted to be contacted, and Bennett called me in 30 seconds! He had me text him pictures of the insects I was dealing with and told me right then what they were. He scheduled an appointment for Jerome to come out for an estimate. I need to reschedule for an emergency dentist appointment. He was super understanding and got me on the calendar for a few days later. I ended up canceling morning of because I had gotten the issue under control on my own. Again, he was super understanding and said no problem at all, glad you got it resolved! I will definitely contact them in the future if I have a pest problem."

Customers say: Quick response

"Ed was pleasant and professional. He was timely with his appointments. Ed went above and beyond attempting to match replacement soffit piece to soffit color that was already there. The birds and bird nest were removed and completely cleaned out. Also fixed bent fascia and reattached some siding pieces. He did a great job with that and completed the job in the time frame he gave us. We highly recommend Ed and his services."

"Still in the process of getting rid of the possums and possible raccoons. However, my overall experience is GREAT! The staff is very knowledgeable and answered each of my questions without hesitation. Certainly would call them again if needed. I've already recommended them to other family members. Thank you Wildlife Management!"

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.

The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.

Yes, bats can cause quite a bit of damage to the attic. Their weight and movement from flying around can damage insulation, and they can chew through wiring and the walls. As if this isn’t enough, they leave their droppings throughout, which carry harmful bacteria and is dangerous for humans to breathe in, not to mention the extremely foul-smelling odor.

High-frequency bird repellent devices are effective at driving away birds, which is their intended purpose. However, these devices also tend to have unintended negative consequences. For example, if you or your neighbors own pets, the high-pitched noise emitted by these electronic devices will cause them distress and may even make them aggressive.

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.

Metal coil-shaped retriever tools (around $50) help remove empty nests and debris from chimneys. Unless you are sure the nest is vacant, we recommend calling in a pro to handle bird’s nest removal from chimneys, vents, roofs, and other hard-to-reach places.
