"Overall, we were very happy with Brian and so happy to have the groundhog that was eating our tomatoes finally gone.  I had to give a weak rating for punctuality since I rearranged my day for an 11am appointment, but Brian showed up about 3 hours later.  He said he was stuck at a previous job, which happens I know, but an earlier call to let me know about the delay would have been greatly appreciated.  After that intial problem, Brian did an excellent job.  He was very nice and accomodating that I didn't want to use the kill trap that he initially suggested, and kindly used the no-kill trap and agreed to relocate the groundhog.  As a side note, we have been enjoying watching a little bunny grow up in our yard all summer, and on the first day, we came home to find that bunny in our groundhog trap.  I was so happy we didn't use the kill trap because we would have been crushed to kill our little rabbit friend.  Instead we just set him free and reset the trap.   Anyway,  unlike another company I called that would only allow use of the trap for 3 days (for $185), Brian said we could keep the trap as long as it took.  It was a good thing since we didn't catch that groundhog for 8 days and we would have wasted our money on a company that had the 3 day limit.  While at our house to set up the trap, Brian was very patient showing us how to use it and letting us practice setting it up a few times.  He also walked around the whole house and pointed out any other areas where pests could possibly get in.  This was a great service that I don't think that other companies offer at no extra cost.  We finally came home to the trapped groundhog late one evening, and despite a rainy day, Brian came over the next morning to take the groundhog to its new home.  Overall it was a fairly efficient and easy process.  I was a bit suprised how much it costs to remove one pest, but shopping around, Brain's price seemed right in line with others in the areas, plus he offers the whole house inspection, so I think prices are fair.  As a bonus, Brian is quite a character and quite entertaining.

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The best deterrents for possums include securing trash cans with tight-fitting lids, removing outdoor food sources like pet food or fallen fruit, and trimming tree branches that provide access to your roof or an open window. Motion-activated lights or sprinklers can also startle and discourage them from visiting. Additionally, you can take advantage of their strong sense of smell by using garlic, onion, or commercial possum repellents to keep them off your property.

Groundhogs usually keep their cool despite being easily spooked. However, there are exceptions—they might get defensive or territorial if they feel threatened or overly concerned. If they sense a threat to their babies, they could get feisty, too. These wild animals are not meant to be kept as pets. If you find babies or an injured groundhog, contact your local animal rescue or wildlife service for guidance.

This varies based on the circumstance. Chemical-based pest control baits and poisons are usually the most potent, but they are unsafe to use around children and pets, so they won’t be a fit for every household.

Safer alternatives, such as boric acid and food-grade diatomaceous earth, can work as well, though they should still stay out of reach. Aside from that, the best thing any DIY-er can do is make their place uninviting by sealing off entry points, eliminating clutter, and maintaining a clean home.

Dying trees and even dead trees can spread diseases to other living trees. There are many different types of tree diseases, so it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent the disease from spreading to other healthy trees. If the tree cannot be saved and is infected, you need to have it removed to protect the other trees on your property.
