"Robert called me straight away after i placed my enquiry at about 11pm, after hearing a bird trapped in the wall. I didn't know what to do, i was so glad someone was responding at that time. Hollis came promptly the next morning, to assess the situation, and then came back later that day to remove the Birds from our vent and the wall inside, he was polite, efficient, and did a great job, without leaving any mess. I would definitely use this company again and recommend him. The service was so quick, i'm glad that poor little bird didn't have to die trapped in our walls. Thank you"
"..Doug Ashe is the super hero of animal control and removal. Dont even bother looking at the ads of other wildlife removal vendors. Doug Ashe does it all. He stands behind his work. Evidenced by the vent covering repair he made for us today. Other service providers can only wish they were like Doug Ashe and CWC. Doug has set the bar high!! "
"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."
"They came in pretty much right away. They spent extra time setting traps etc. I am not sure that they actually charged us full price for the time spent. The large hawk later must have flew out of our building on its own. We were satisfied with the services provided."

Many different types of animals like to build nests in attics. The types may vary depending on your home’s condition and location and you can prevent them by sealing off entry points and eliminating food sources.
The most common critters that like to build nests in your attic include:
Raccoons
Bats
Squirrels
Mice
Rats
Once the animals and their young are out of the house, remove the nest and locate any entry points. Some may be difficult to find because some animals can fit through very small holes. Once you’ve located as many entry points as possible, use materials such as metal or masonry to block off the entry. Ideally, you should choose materials that most animals cannot chew through. Create a one-way door or flap to allow animals to leave but not return. Additional methods include using repellants designed to make an area unappealing to the types of animals that find your home so inviting.
Some birds of prey, like owls, hunt at night. Hawks are diurnal and need good light to see their prey. You could see them circling anytime from dawn to dusk. Species like the common red-tailed hawk are most active in the early morning and late evening when their prey is also typically on the go.
Pest control measures for bird and bat issues typically last from several weeks to months, depending on the effectiveness of the implemented solutions and the return of conducive conditions.
When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.
The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.
