"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

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

Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them. 

Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.

Hanging wind chimes or motion-activated speakers near your home may be an effective way to deter woodpeckers, as sudden movement and sound often scare birds away. You could also try using reflective decorative items such as pinwheels or mirrors or placing decoys of large predatory birds in your yard. If these measures don’t deter the woodpeckers, you may need the help of a bird removal pro.

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. 

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.
