"Efficient-Honest-Dependable-Knowledgeable and Direct ! These are all the things you want and need when you hire a professional. We hired Tim to take care of an animal that gotten into our attic. He did just that! But wait there’s more! Turns out if you’re using any company/provider other than Tim’s you’re clearly not protected from bugs/ pests/ termites etc. We used the same company for 7years and we weren’t getting anything we paid for in protection - nothing ! We won’t use anyone except Tim from here out We highly recommend his Team for your Home or Business concerns He is very personable and will answer any and every question you have regarding pests and or controlling them. We feel safe now under the care of Tim and Ryan With the amount of knowledge he has -not only the insects/bugs etc. -but also the solutions and material it takes to control them . Thank you so much for truly protecting our Home!"

"Chase was outstanding to work with. He was very knowledgeable about how pest could penetrate our home and went to work to ensure he did all he could possible to keep us bug free. He even removed any cob webs he found as part of his service. He is a very pleasant person and we enjoyed talking with him. We would highly recommend Brightland Pest Control, without a doubt."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Most treatments take 1-3 hours, but severe infestations may require multiple visits.

Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk’s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren’t enough to wash it away.

If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don’t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it’s time to make a careful retreat.

There are several ways to dry out flea eggs. Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a natural ingredient that can dry out fleas, but it’s messy to apply and can also cause respiratory issues for members of your household if inhaled. Salt is safer and easier to apply, so shake it liberally over affected areas. Boric acid is another way to get rid of fleas and other insects, but this, too, can cause respiratory issues and health problems if inhaled or ingested.

There’s little scientific evidence to suggest that homemade remedies to ward off wildlife are effective. But, often, when using them alongside other management techniques, it won’t do any harm to try. Suggestions include using urine-soaked kitty litter or sweat-soaked clothing items. Try applying them around your fence perimeters. Always read the instructions carefully for any commercially-bought repellents and opt for EPA-approved products. Multiple applications, especially after rain, are often necessary.
