"The sales rep, Paul, was amazing. He was professional and very knowledgeable about bats and the removal process. The tech, Adam, was very thorough and accommodating. The price was fair and Paul worked with me on figuring out how to get what I needed done, while staying within my budget, which I very much appreciated. I was worried that it was going to be a really involved process, as bats are a protected species in my state, but Paul and Adam walked me through everything and made it all easy to understand. I will definitely be using them again if I run into another critter problem! 10/10 recommend!"
"I interviewed several companies to do this work. Complete offered experienced resources in both the areas of animal control and insulation removal/replacement. Importantly Jordan, their inspector, impressed me with his knowledge, positive attitude and desire to obtain my business. The work began with many hours of thorough inspection of where the mice (and a snake!......no doubt hungry for a mouse dinner) were entering the affected areas followed by repairs of all those entry points to prevent a reoccurrence. Then traps were set and checked every two days by Complete until after several weeks my home was rodent and snake (!) free. Complete involved a number of their experienced resources on the animal control effort ........all professional and all with positive attitudes.............. but the stars were Dale (make sure you ask for him regarding animal control) and Logan. The next step was to remove the old insulation and replace with new. I decided to go with spray foam instead of the batted insulation for a number of reasons.......the most important of which was Larry’s understanding of that technology. Larry is the manger of the spray foam group and is a real star for Complete. As far as I can tell his knowledge may be the best in the industry in Tennessee.......maybe the country!! He had a unique situation with my home and refused to give up until he had solved the problem! His crew Alex, Dylan K, Anthony F and Josh were professional and had positive attitudes even on some of the hottest days of the year when they had to get in their spray foam gear and work in my attic (talk about a weight loss program!!). Although my job seemed big to me it seemed fairly ordinary for the Complete experts. While the action was taking place at my home over several months it was organized and managed by a top group of administrators. Dianne was the star of the group but Emily, Amy and Michelle were also always there to respond to my requests and questions. I felt that these four and the animal control and insulation groups always had customer satisfaction as their ultimate goal. While I hope to never have to undertake a similar project in the future, I certainly know who I will hire if I do!"
"My son told me we had hundreds of wasps in our front yard when he got home from school. My wife is allergic to bee and wasp stingâ s and would end up in the ER. Obviously it was important to get someone out right away to fix this problem. Got in touch with Joe Hamby at Pest Shield and he asked me when I wanted him to check it out. Of course I said today. He gave me a price I was really comfortable with and was standing In my yard when I pulled in the driveway. He had already surveyed the yard. As luck would have it the wasps had disappeared by this time so this is a story with a happy ending. I have had less than desirable experiences with other pest control companies and will be calling Pest Shield for future services."
"Wildlife Removal Specialist of Atlanta exceed my expectations, they searched and located the source of entry into my home and and I couldn't beat the price charged. Thank you very much."
"I'm going through a two room redo. I've had electric, painting, flooring, general contractors, and sheet rock hanging. In addition, we have had rodent problems. Of all these pro, Cody excelled above them. He emailed us a written estimate and invoices (which documented my down payment, etc) all along the way . He's always was on time, coming when he said he would. Also, he was very professional throughout his entire project. He kept me updated each time he came. In additional, he gave me suggestions to keep the rodents from coming back. He stands by his services. If they come back, so will he (at no cost). I would recommend him for anyone having a wildlife problem."
"Josh came out the same day I called. He took care of the issues immediately. He went above and beyond to make sure the issues were taken care of. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone with pest/wildlife issues."
It's advisable to avoid using harmful methods to eliminate birds. Poisoning birds is inhumane and can have unintended ecological consequences, affecting other wildlife and pets. Similarly, using firearms or other lethal means poses safety risks and could be illegal in many areas. Sticky substances like adhesives can cause birds to become trapped and injured. Lastly, playing excessively loud or distressing noises can stress birds and humans. Focusing on humane and environmentally responsible strategies is essential when dealing with bird issues.
The cost of pest control services depends on various factors, but the average homeowner pays around $175, with a typical range of $100 to $500. Your final cost will be influenced by the type of pest, the size and severity of the infestation, and the number of treatments needed.
Service costs also vary by frequency:
One-time service: $300–$550
Initial visit for ongoing service: $150–$300
Monthly visits: $40–$70
Quarterly visits: $100–$300
Annual visits: $300–$550
For specific pest examples, getting rid of spiders typically costs between $100 and $300, whereas a termite infestation can cost from $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the extent of the damage.
Using audio and visual methods to discourage birds might work initially, but birds tend to acclimate to them over time. While chemical deterrents can show some effectiveness, their results can be inconsistent. Some may dissipate too quickly, and there's a risk they might cause unintended damage to your surroundings. Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.
Pest control timelines depend on what services are being provided, size and type of infestation, and size of your home. Some inspections can take an hour or more, while preventative treatments only take 30 minutes to complete. Basic spaying for a problem like roaches or termites can take about an hour for small homes, but much longer for large properties and infestations. Consult your pest control pro for a time estimate based on your situation.
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.
