"I am a realtor and would recommend this company for any real estate termite/pest inspections. 
They have an entomologist on staff are professional and provide a professional WBI report.
Inspected home with possible infestation by powder post beetles.  Determined there was no active inspection. 
Found inactive pest activity missed by home inspector and wrote report indicating that no treatment was necessary and
gave detailed description why. 
There was an evident inactive infestation in new flooring.  Lumber Liquidators would not provide provide on-site inspection of defective product.   Called 2 local companies that would not take call, had another competitor inspect the floor verbally tell me there was no active infestation but would not document the statement without a 500.00 treatment.  Yet another company told me that the treatment could stain hardware, damaging the new hardwood floor.  
Best of all there service price was 25% less than the inspector that would not provide a report.

"Would give 10 stars if I could. Matt was very professional in locating and removing a raccoon trapped in a dormer attic space at my house. Came out multiple times to ensure job was done completely. Once he trapped the raccoon he returned my house back to its original condition. Again, highly, highly recommend Nature Boy Wildlife if you have critter problems that you can't handle yourself."

It is much less than anybody else charges. We used them when they came out in an effort to remedy our problem. Since that time we have had other pest control in here so I think that the issue we had was not one that was clearly identified for them to resolve.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Roaches have a strong sense of smell and are repelled by a variety of potent aromas. Scents that can help deter them include citrus (such as lemon and orange), herbs like peppermint, mint, basil, thyme, and oregano, spices like bay leaves, cinnamon, clove, and garlic, as well as lavender, eucalyptus, citronella, tea tree oil, and vinegar.

You can use these scents in several ways to create an unwelcoming environment for roaches:

  • Plants: Place mint or lavender plants in your home or garden.

  • Powders and Leaves: Sprinkle garlic powder or place crushed bay leaves and citrus peels in high-risk areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entry points.

  • Sprays: Create a diluted solution with scents like lemon or vinegar to spray in your home. These can also be used in cleaning products or as room fresheners.

  • Essential Oils: While essential oils of these scents can be used, be cautious as they can be toxic to pets if inhaled.

It is important to note that while these smells can help keep roaches away, they typically do not kill them and may not be enough to drive out an existing infestation entirely. For best results, combine these scent-based deterrents with regular cleaning. Be sure to clean up all food spills, crumbs, and dirty dishes promptly, and keep trash cans covered with a tight-fitting lid to remove potential food sources.

Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk’s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren’t enough to wash it away.

If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don’t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it’s time to make a careful retreat.

Birds are often averse to certain strong scents. For instance, the odor of predator urine, such as that from foxes or hawks, can deter them. Similarly, birds may dislike the pungent aromas of garlic, onions, and chili peppers. Essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and citrus can also be effective in keeping birds away. However, it's important to note that individual bird species might react differently to these scents, so it might require some experimentation to find the most effective repellent for your specific situation.

Studies indicate that owls don't possess a conventional sense of fear. However, they find intense, sudden human noise unsettling, like clapping or shouting. Additionally, owls are likely spooked by sudden bursts of bright light. While they may not experience fear as humans do, these disturbances can disrupt their natural behaviors, making it essential to minimize such disruptions when sharing spaces with these remarkable creatures.

Several bugs can look like ticks but aren’t, including beetles, bed bugs, spider beetles, and weevils. Aside from different types of beetles, the most common confusion is between ticks versus bed bugs. In any case, since a tick is an eight-legged arachnid, you can quickly differentiate by the number of legs, as all insects have six legs.
