"Overall, I highly recommend this company for any job. Josh there removed an inactive bald face hornets' nest on roof which is very difficult to climb. The price was cheaper than a top rated competitor. To me it was quite a story. My whole story about this job is as follows. I had a bald faced hornet's nest from last year (took a while to figure this out, a bee expert told me). I know it's inactive after a season. Basically, this hornet is very fierce and defends its nest bravely (same bee expert told me this too and confirmed it from google search). Normally, I would have no problem taking this inactive nest out of my house without a help, but this is on the roof, about 40 feet high. And to access the roof, for me, I need 32 feet ladder, since the front side access (which need shorter ladder like 16) is 95% covered with solar panel. I had to take this nest out and tried on my own. Tried pressure washer with extension from distance, but didn't work, so I called around. I actually searched for pest control in angie's list. And I called top rated one there and showed the pictures that I have taken (the height is the main issue). It wanted to charge $275 since it is up very high and told me that they can't remove it without marks. For this, they recommended to call pressure washer company. But pressure washer company didn't want to do the job, so I called back the pest control. They said again 275 but when I asked if I can use Angie's list coupon (15% for the first job), they told me that they can't help me, telling me something about solar panel wiring being difficult to handle. So I called next top rated one, which is Absolute Pest Control. I showed them the pictures, and told that you would need 32 ladder. I was told that it's going to be $175. A few days later, one guy showed up and he realized that he can't go up that high and he brought 24 ladder. So he went back and probably talked to others that it's going to need much more effort or longer ladder. Then I got a call that it can do the job for $250. I was fine with it, since I really wanted to get rid of it and still cheaper than the competitor. So, another guy came, and his name is Josh. He's much more fit and nimble. But he brought 24 ladder, so I was like, here we go again. Josh, however, didn't need 32 ladder to go up and is so nimble that, with a small passage (about 4 inches wide) toward to the top of the roof, he went up and did the job perfectly, without any mark. He said he does all the 'crappy' jobs and told me it was bald faced hornets' nest (which I knew) and bald faced hornets penetrates into protective gear (which again I knew), so he was also very knowledgeable on the issue. He was also very friendly to listen what I had to tell him and understand the situation quickly too. I feel good about its management too, although it had some mishap (the rep who got my call and pictures knew the job needed the long ladder, but send someone who doesn't have one), eventually it sends a right person for the job. Two times they visited me, they called me in advance when they would arrive, and a courtesy call to confirm the reservation too. Wish I can post some pictures."

"We called Jack after reading other positive reviews. Even though it was Sunday, he called us back right away and was very knowledgable. By midday Monday the job was finished and we've had no problems since. After negative experiences with other pest companies trying to sell us all kinds of things we didn't need and providing subpar service, Jack was the opposite. He took care of the active nest, and the rest of the house, in a timely manner for a fair price. He was very easy to deal with and I will certainly hire him again for any pest control needs."

"It rained within 2 hrs of the outdoor application for ant control. It has been 8 days since and we are still seeing ants, especially outside. Not sure if that's typical or a sign that the application got washed away. Will be contacting customer service if it remains that way after another 7 days."

"After getting a few estimates from a few other companies we called capital wildlife control. They were very informative and gave us a few options to remove skunks under our deck and keep them out for good . Very knowledgeable  and much more affordable then the other estimates we received."

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try: 

  • Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.  

  • Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away. 

  • Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.

Look for goose repellents that contain the ingredient methyl anthranilate. This is a natural chemical found in grape juice. In human food, it’s often used as grape flavoring. With geese, it’s highly irritating. Grape Kool-Aid contains methyl anthranilate, the active ingredient in most bird repellents. It won’t harm geese, but it will deter them.

Numerous predators kill hornets, including frogs, birds, lizards, bats, spiders, and hedgehogs. Some larger predators, including rats, skunks, and racoons, will occasionally attack a hornet nest in order to eat the larvae inside. These natural predators typically don’t eat enough hornets to make them an effective form of hornet control. 

An owl's worst enemy in the wild is often other raptors and environmental factors. Among the avian threats, larger owls or other birds of prey can pose a danger, engaging in territorial disputes or competing for food resources. Terrestrial predators like foxes, raccoons, and larger mammals may target owl nests or young fledglings. Environmental factors like severe weather conditions, habitat loss, and food availability changes can also significantly impact owl populations.

Chirping noises, droppings, scratches on the walls, and stains at entries and exits are all signs that you have bats in your house or, more specifically, your attic. Because bats are nocturnal, there’s a chance that bats have already infested your home before you start to see warning signs, so don’t delay if you notice anything. If you see a bat or two at sunrise or sunset near your property, that’s another telltale sign that they could be setting up shop inside your space.
