"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.

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.

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.

This depends on if their needs are being met. They'll likely return night after night if they have access to food, water, and adequate shelter. If this changes, they’ll look for another roosting spot. This is why bright lights and other dissuading factors often work when removing bats from a property.

They can have a deterrent effect on birds to some extent. The reflective surfaces of these objects, such as aluminum foil strips, CDs, or reflective tape, create flashes of light and movement that can startle or confuse birds temporarily. However, some birds can become accustomed to these visual disturbances over time and might adapt their behavior accordingly. For a more sustained solution, combining shiny objects with other deterrent methods shared here is often beneficial for creating a more comprehensive and effective strategy for bird control.
