"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

You can take multiple approaches to keep animals out of your edible landscape. You can use natural repellents such as mint and cayenne pepper to deter them from your garden. You can also build a fence (or opt for a privet hedge) or keep the most enticing plants in a sectioned-off area. The most efficient method of keeping your four-legged guests at bay is to determine what animal it is and create a customized plan for them. 

No single deterrent will work 100 percent of the time, so we suggest combining deterrents to ensure your seed has the best possible chance to grow. Using bird netting over your seed, with physical deterrents like mylar tape coupled with hanging bird feeders at the edges of your growing area—and removing any bird’s nests, if possible—will give your seeds the best possible chance for success.

Many different types of animals like to build nests in attics. The types may vary depending on your home’s condition and location and you can prevent them by sealing off entry points and eliminating food sources. The most common critters that like to build nests in your attic include:

  • Raccoons

  • Bats

  • Squirrels

  • Mice

  • Rats

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.

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.
