"They were great! I had a ground bees nest and I’m allergic to bees. They came out the very next day and removed the nest. Also checked the house for any other nests without me asking. Super happy with their service!"

"I called John a year ago to clear the mice out of a 20x20 building. The project included removing wall insulation where the mice had lived for 30 years. John gave me a very low quote and worked very hard on removal. When I told him I wasn't totally satisfied, he apologized, admitted the scope of the project was larger than he had anticipated, and came back to fix it. There were no additional charges, and he said his goal was for me to be completely satisfied. He worked until I was happy, came back 2 weeks later to check it all, and called a few times to make sure everything was okay (no extra charge). I called him again this summer when we heard the mice. He spent a long time identifying and remediating possible entry points and setting baits, again for a very reasonable price. I'm so happy to have found a pest control professional with integrity and competence who doesn't charge an arm and a leg. I highly recommend Patterson Pest control!"

"After doing some handy work around my home, I could not believe when I found an infestation of carpenter ants and where they were hiding. I knew anything I could buy at the store wouldn't do the trick and I had to call the professionals in. I decided to call Natures Way Pest control, as I have heard so many positive things about them and the services they offer. First off, they were very knowledgeable in the problem I was having and assured me they could help eliminate it for good. When they showed up, they were very professional and explained everything. I highly recommend this company."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

The best deterrents for possums include securing trash cans with tight-fitting lids, removing outdoor food sources like pet food or fallen fruit, and trimming tree branches that provide access to your roof or an open window. Motion-activated lights or sprinklers can also startle and discourage them from visiting. Additionally, you can take advantage of their strong sense of smell by using garlic, onion, or commercial possum repellents to keep them off your property.

Natural pools don’t necessarily attract snakes, although there is a chance they could stop by for a quick visit. They’re not likely to stay, however, because there’s nothing for snakes to eat in a natural pool environment. A well-maintained natural pool has clear water, so you should be able to easily spot a snake before diving in.

Professional services cost between $75 and $150, depending on the size of the home and the severity of the infestation. Multiple treatments often increase costs.

Scent deterrents like ammonia, vinegar, mothballs, and pepper can help keep coyotes away, but these are best used in tandem with other preventative measures. Remember that ammonia and vinegar can kill your plants and/or grass, so it’s best to soak rags in these substances or spray them on hardscaped areas to avoid damaging your landscape.

Squirrels have a strong sense of smell and can be deterred by various scents they dislike. Effective options include peppermint oil, rosemary, garlic, cinnamon, white vinegar, coffee grounds, and predator urine. Squirrels also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based repellents a good choice for protecting specific areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a garlic and vinegar spray and apply it daily. Additionally, placing strong-smelling items like certain soaps or dryer sheets near where squirrels frequent can also be effective.
