Able Pest Control

Besides seeing red squirrels in the yard, I started hearing them in the attic. After finding out that they can start a fire by chewing on electrical wiring, I panicked and called Able Pest Control in the yellow pages, which had a local number and claims to be "Locally Owned and Operated", which isn't quite true since the company is located in Johnstown, PA, 70 miles from my house.
The Able technician arrived on October 1, 2015, put bait outside the house and inside the attic, and charged me $715.00, which includes $40.00 state tax. He told me that the squirrels would be gone in a month. Even though Able was here several times, the squirrels were still here after 6 weeks. My neighbor brought a live trap, set it on the porch, and caught a squirrel in an hour. When I told the Able technician about the live trap, he said it was illegal not to kill the animal because the capture "messes up it's brain and it will become rabid." I called the Game Commission and was told to use a live trap and release the animal. I asked Able to remove their bait, which they did on November 25, 2015, 8 weeks after I had hired them.
After checking with Angie's List, I found out that the average for animal removal is about $300.00, far below the $715.00 that I paid. I asked Able for a refund and was given a $250.00 check.
Between November 24 and November 30, my neighbor caught 3 squirrels in the attic. They love peanut butter and crackers. He released them about a mile from my house and I haven't seen or heard any since. (I was told by the Able technician that they would return if they were released within 10 miles.)
