"Marcus was amazing. He was professional, knowledgeable and patient. When he came to service my lawn I had a ton of questions and concerns. He took the time to explain the process and the after care. He also instructed me on what I needed to do to keep my pets safe during the process. I will definitely be recommending him to my family and friends. He earned a repeat customer. Thanks Marcus"

"Angelo and team were great. Removed yellow jackets nests safely. Also used them for power-washing house and gutter cleaning. They did a great job on everything at a very reasonable price, and they are also the nicest guys you will meet. Highly recommend these guys for their skill, personality and pricing! Definitely will use again for my next project."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Possums are not aggressive toward people or pets. They are shy critters that prefer to avoid confrontations. When threatened, they may hiss, growl, or display their teeth but are more likely to play dead as a defense mechanism. Possums rarely attack unless cornered or provoked. They are not a significant threat to pets, though a curious dog or cat might provoke a defensive reaction.

Whether dryer sheets can keep squirrels away is a bit of a mystery because the evidence is entirely anecdotal. Many households claim to have success with using dryer sheets for keeping squirrels away by placing them throughout their attics, yards, on a clothesline, and any other area where squirrels like to run through. Squirrels do not like strong scents, so if you try using dryer sheets, the ones with the strongest scent may be the most effective.

Once the animals and their young are out of the house, remove the nest and locate any entry points. Some may be difficult to find because some animals can fit through very small holes. Once you’ve located as many entry points as possible, use materials such as metal or masonry to block off the entry. Ideally, you should choose materials that most animals cannot chew through. Create a one-way door or flap to allow animals to leave but not return. Additional methods include using repellants designed to make an area unappealing to the types of animals that find your home so inviting. 

If the cat is stray (you noticed a collar or other signs of domestication), the kind thing to do is to try and find the owner. Call around to other neighbors to see if they can lead you in the right direction. If you can get close enough to snap a picture, try posting an image of the cat to local community groups and pages on social media. 

If the cat is feral, you can try to humanely trap them and participate in a local shelter’s TNR program. Before attempting capture, call around to local rescues and shelters to make sure one near you does participate in a TNR program. They may even be able to catch the cat for you.

DIY treatments may help minor issues, but professionals provide long-term solutions and prevent recurrence.
