By early afternoon I could hear a scratching sound by the water line in the wall behind the fridge, and saw something trying to pull at the drywall crack around the water line. I was worried we'd have a wild animal loose in the house, so I called again to provide an update. He said he was currently at another house but would come over right after that. He showed up about half an hour later, explained costs up front and let me know he'd need to cut a small hole in the drywall to trap the animal. He also explained that he doesn't repair drywall but could provide a referral for someone who could do those repairs. He cut a small hole in the drywall behind the fridge and held the trap up to the hole. After a minute or so, a bird poked its head through the hole, and then walked out into the trap. He then replaced the square of drywall and taped it in place, recommending we not have it repaired for a few days in case the bird had a mate that went looking for it. He also provided advice on how the bird got in (through our dryer vent) and recommended replacing the vent hose when we get the chance, as well as finding a way to prevent the birds from getting into the vent. Overall I was very pleased with the service and would recommend Affordable Animal Control to others.

I say vent "system" because my laundry room is located in the middle of the first floor of my home and the vent exit itself is located outside at the peak of my house, resulting in a Z-shaped maze of ductwork approx. 40 ft. in total length. I contacted Dryer Vent Wizard to see if they could handle such a problem and within 2 hours their technician, James, arrived. Initially he hooked up their lint-cleaning blower to see if the bird could be blown out, but to no avail, only a tiny bit of lint was blown out (I regularly clean my ductwork myself, so this was no surprise). Next, he used a series of long, flexible brushes to try and clear the ductwork. After quite a bit of effort, James was finally able to dislodge the "foul fowl", and using his blower at the other end he got the bird out. He then brushed the entire length of my ductwork again from both ends to make sure and remove any "residuals" left behind by the bird. Finally, he installed a "bird proof" double-doored vent exit cover to keep future invaders out. I can't say enough good things about Dryer Vent Wizard, and especially their tech, James ! He definitely had to go above and beyond on this job, and it wasn't a pleasant one either.

"I called because of a racoon and babies living under the floor of my mobile home. They came out and put a deterrent under the home and charged me $300. No results after a week.

At Greenix Pest Control, we know that effective pest control is a process, not a one-time fix.
"VERY UNHAPPY - They came out is this morning fort he 3rd rime - they are not plugging all the holes - for more. They did do the job in the basement and treated outside. But it did not stop the infestation. Today he said they did it wrong and should have treated the nest and then plugged it later. He is doing that with more holes - I signed a ongoing contract I don't not want."

FAQs for bird control service projects in Urbancrest, OH
Different pest control methods exist to help mitigate an infestation. Not every technique will work with every pest, which is why speaking with a pest control expert is crucial to taming your problem. Different methods of pest removal include:
The cost of pest control is $175 for the average homeowner. However, you could spend as little as $100 or as much as $500 or more, depending on the infestation size, the number of visits you need, and the pest you’re exterminating.
For example, if you need to rid your home of spiders, you’ll likely be spending between $100 and $300. However, if you have a termite problem, you can expect a bill of $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the infestation size and damage caused.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
Even if you’re not immediately showing signs of pests, it’s a good idea to get into the habit of routine pest control. This should be done yearly, quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly, depending on your location and if any signs of infestation are already present. For example, if you live by water, you might experience more pests in the spring and summer than someone who lives in a dry climate. Discuss treatment options with your pest professional to determine a suitable schedule for you and your home.
