"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."

"I have no serious complaint about the attempt to catch raccoons. That is a hit or miss situation. The fact that a cage from the attempt is still on my roof isn't cool. The process of capping the chimneys was very odd to me. August 10, 2019 a quote was given after a visual/on site inspection. Sadly, by August 24th - 31st the equipment needed to cap two chimneys were not located and not financially prudent to pursue. I am miffed on how this wasn't known on August 10. Okay, fair enough - even if odd. My patience was awesome. All texts and calls back and forth were professional on both sides. Kudos. But I feel like there was too much lag time between some of the communications. I understand a worker had a sudden death in the family. I added extra days in the process for this sad occasion. It was then that I learned that if you start with team A and a sudden and sad event happens, work is not passed onto another team. At least, that is what the worker told me. A refund for the uncapped chimneys was issued as I write this review. I called today to confirm that fact and to advise that the cage is still on my roof, but I got voicemail only. I am not sure if the rep got tired of my calls and texts, but as I had stated back on August 24th - I just want some communication. I also believe if you tell someone that you will be over to do something, stay true to your word. I have to accept some of the blame here becuase I did not get more than one quote. I believe all the men that I communicated with are good men. I only have their words and actions to judge by. I hope my words do not come across as mean sprited, that is not my intent. I am a good, hard working comsumer who will always need good, hard working contractors/businesses."

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

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.

Popular nesting areas outside of a home include eaves, porches, gutters, and chimneys. However, some birds can make their way into your attic or ventilation systems. A reputable removal service will inspect your home's interior and exterior for any evidence of roosting and nesting birds while they prepare to remove them.

The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.

Yes, predator decoys work to keep birds away, at least temporarily. However, if the decoy remains motionless in the same spot for a long enough time, the birds will eventually wise up and realize it's a fake. Keep changing the location of the predator decoy to ensure that the birds keep their guard up and maintain their distance.

Pest control and wildlife removal are different services. Pest control specialists typically handle insects and bugs, often using chemicals and poisonous sprays for extermination. Wildlife removal professionals, on the other hand, focus on larger animals. They prioritize humane methods like trapping and relocation, using poison only as a last resort. For insect problems, contact a pest control professional; for issues with other animals, an animal or wildlife removal specialist is the correct choice.
