"Malik from Neighborhood Pest Control was great to work with. He came out the same day, found where the raccoons were getting in, and sealed it up after removing them. Haven’t heard a sound since. Great service and a really nice guy."

"This crew was so friendly, and so professional. "Graham" was the name of the sweep that arrived here. They ran a camera all the way up the inside of my chimney, and found a hole where someone apparently had vented something else into it in the past. Smoke, sparks and heat could have got into my attic if they had not found this. They might have saved us from a very bad situation! They also installed a cap to keep animals out, filled in a small hole in our fireplace wall, and put our damper plate back on track."

"Ashley's expertise, experience, and ability are second to none in her field. We had mice crawl into our attic and die. Unfortunately, our attic is mostly insulation and a vaulted ceiling that is very difficult to get around, so the corpses were inaccessible. Ashley is the only contractor who could get visuals on the problem. We ended up having to go through the roof to clean everything up. With squirrel and bat droppings to boot, we ended up redoing the insulation entirely. Ashley cleaned everything up, redid the insulation, and even organized the attic better than before. She worked well with our roofer to coordinate access and repair. We liked her so much that we also had her clean up the raccoon droppings from our shed, where she also fixed the drainage that was rotting the wood. Ashley found solutions for all our problems!"

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

You can find a variety of humane bird repellent sprays online and at home improvement stores. However, if you want to try a DIY method that will keep birds away without harming them, mix some water, dish soap, and a few drops of peppermint oil and spray the area you want bird-free. Peppermint oil is a notoriously lovely smell for humans, but birds tend to avoid it.

It's advisable to avoid using harmful methods to eliminate birds. Poisoning birds is inhumane and can have unintended ecological consequences, affecting other wildlife and pets. Similarly, using firearms or other lethal means poses safety risks and could be illegal in many areas. Sticky substances like adhesives can cause birds to become trapped and injured. Lastly, playing excessively loud or distressing noises can stress birds and humans. Focusing on humane and environmentally responsible strategies is essential when dealing with bird issues.

Vinegar can keep some animals at bay, like deer, rabbits, foxes, and raccoons. Keep in mind that your household pets, like cats and dogs, also don’t like the smell of vinegar. You can soak rags in white vinegar and put them up around your garden beds to keep the pesky critters from eating your plants.

Regular cleaning, proper food storage, sealing entry points, and professional inspections help prevent infestations.

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.
