"Steven reached out to me via HomeAdvisor the same night I requested local pest control companies. We actually spoke the following day, which was a Saturday, and he came out to address my problem (cicada wasps) on Monday. The treatment was going to require 2 visits over the course of a couple weeks. He kept in contact with me to see how things were progressing and always informed me of when he would be there. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and patient with all my questions. The best part...no more giant cicada wasps digging up my yard! No doubt, give him a call."

"Scott was exceptional! He had to manage a difficult and dirty trip through a small opening in a third-floor attic to check for squirrels. He said we didn't need to have him trap any there and did not charge, as we did not "hire" him. He said trapping them in the yard would do. Very nice man who will not insist on a service you don't need. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs small animal trapping!"

"The prices were a little higher than we anticipated but when I checked out other area prices they were actually in the lower end fir our area. Had we to do it over again we might have asked for a day or two to consider what we wanted done. The work was done very quickly, within three days fir the new flue. The office forgot to call to confirm the day and time they were coming back but since we were home it wasn't a problem and we were glad to have them there to complete the job. They were very clean and after they left you wouldn't know anyone had been there. Very friendly as well."

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, badgers can benefit the environments they live in. As they dig and feed, they carry and disperse seeds, which helps plants spread and grow. They also build tunnels that other species, like rabbits and foxes, can move into. However, these benefits may not be desirable on your property, and badger removal may be preferable.

If the cat is stray (you noticed a collar or other signs of domestication), the kind thing to do is to try and find the owner. Call around to other neighbors to see if they can lead you in the right direction. If you can get close enough to snap a picture, try posting an image of the cat to local community groups and pages on social media. 

If the cat is feral, you can try to humanely trap them and participate in a local shelter’s TNR program. Before attempting capture, call around to local rescues and shelters to make sure one near you does participate in a TNR program. They may even be able to catch the cat for you.

Scent deterrents like ammonia, vinegar, mothballs, and pepper can help keep coyotes away, but these are best used in tandem with other preventative measures. Remember that ammonia and vinegar can kill your plants and/or grass, so it’s best to soak rags in these substances or spray them on hardscaped areas to avoid damaging your landscape.

Like many animals, gophers are bothered by strong scents. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil,  and coffee grounds can be used as deterrents against these pests. Similarly, you can try planting lavender, rosemary, sage, geraniums, or pine trees, as these plants all have strong smells that can ward away gophers. While it may be less pleasant to work with, coyote urine scares gophers by tricking the pests into thinking your yard is a predator hot spot.

There are several ways to make your yard a less attractive habitat for moles. Protect your garden beds by installing a fence or other barrier about 2 to 3 feet deep around your garden.

Moles eat insects, so grub removal is another important way to prevent moles from destroying your yard.

Likewise, remove tree stumps, dead leaves, and other debris that attract insects to your lawn. Some plants will deter moles as well, including daffodils, marigolds, crown imperial, and alliums, like garlic or onions.
