"Antony contacted me quickly, explained the process of the nest removal and answered all my questions. His service was prompt and very professional. If I had any other issues again I would definitely give him a call."
"They were EXCELLENT. I called them at 9 am and they were at my house on MY SCHEDULE! He was very thorough and explained in detail where our furry friends were entering our home. He wasted no time in sealing up the entry points and placing the poison to resolve the situation. He put my wife at ease as she is extremely fearful of rodents and he confirmed we did not have an infestation but merely a pass through critter. He will be my go to guy for the maintenance portion of this service!"
"We've been using them for several years. He is very polite. He made arrangements ahead of time as to the day and timeframe. It was good. We've been married for 13 years and my husband was using them before we got married. He is very pleased with them. We haven't had any problems with pests."
With freezing temperatures finally upon us and a neighborhood with a squirrel population explosion afoot, we found ourselves with a pesky, persistent squirrel h***-bent on chewing its way into our attic via the roofline just under our gutters. It was a corner of the house too tight for us to fully reach and effectively secure from inside the house, and too high and dangerous for us to reach from a ladder outside. It was clearly a job to be done ONCE and RIGHT, A JOB FOR PROFESSIONALS. Bewildered by the chewing and persistence, I left a message for Mr. Merritt on Wednesday, January 12. He called me back within a few hours. He was a delight to speak with. He sent technicians Ray and CJ out early (8:30AM) the next morning, January 13th. They had all the right equipment and expertise. The hole was confirmed vacant. They stuffed it with steel wool and shored up the hole with aluminum sheeting and screwed it on tight. For the first time in about 5 days I could relax and not worry about listening for that awful chewing sound, neither running out of my house nor sticking my head out our attic window to shoo-away that darned squirrel. These men did a great job. The condition of our fascia board was in very good shape (not rotted or in bad shape to start with), so it was just unfortunate that the squirrel chose THIS SPOT to work so hard to get in. We could not have done the job ourselves, safely or as efficiently as these gentlemen did. They knew what materials to use, and they had it all ready to install. They were able to a**** the situation and provide a remedy that would work well for us. The job was done in about 45 minutes. The charge was perfectly reasonable and I would certainly call them again if I had another problem. I would also recommend them to everyone.
"We were not even living at home when we received a call from our painter that there was a large swarm of bees by the front entrance. I called Tony and not all did he go to the house within 1 hour, he followed up for 2 days cause the swarm was too big, to make it was safe for our arrival. Tony was an absolute pleasure to work with, he completely solved the problem and is the only one we will be calling for pest control."
Fake owls are a common goose deterrent decoy and one of the most humane ways to scare away geese. Unfortunately, some geese are wise to fake predators. Decoys can be more effective if you move them around frequently or purchase ones with motion features. Decoys that move in the wind are also more effective than stationary decoys.
Keeping your pool cover clean is a good way to keep smaller animals from running across it or using it as shelter. Small animals may use leaf debris on top of the cover to hide. Cleaning also removes nuts that may fall from a nearby tree that could otherwise be a tempting snack for some animals, like squirrels.
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.
Small amounts of geese are actually good for the environment. They help spread seeds and lead to more plant growth, but they’re often an invasive species, particularly Canadian geese. This means a small gaggle can quickly grow into a level that litters your lawn with bald patches and excrement.
Look for goose repellents that contain the ingredient methyl anthranilate. This is a natural chemical found in grape juice. In human food, it’s often used as grape flavoring. With geese, it’s highly irritating. Grape Kool-Aid contains methyl anthranilate, the active ingredient in most bird repellents. It won’t harm geese, but it will deter them.
