"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!"
"Very knowledgeable guy who seem to know what he’s doing. Don’t know results of spraying. Have had much rain since. Will have to see if it worked. Terminex will spray again the beginning of next month."
"April 2021 we had Michael Wells and team do extensive Animal Removal. They did a fantastic job. Recently we have seen the return of the rats and the very day I reached out to Mike, he was at the house. That was three weeks ago and one of his teamme has been by daily to check traps. Justin, Isaiah, Kevin and Mike are all so polite, professional, and have done another fantastic job! Thank you Complete Animal Control team that services Arrington/Murfreesboro TN! 5 stars from this customer!"
"Cody not only removed raccoons from my attic, but acted as a general contractor in repairing the damage. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. He's very professional, responds to your text/phone calls iquickly, and does an excellent job, even cleaning up when the job is finished. If you have any critters you want removed from your property he's your man."
"They responded in a timely manner on a Saturday, without an additional emergency call fee. The guys arrived and were very professional, courteous and quickly found the animal. They also inspected the entire are under the house to insure all was intact and that there were no additional animals."
"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."
"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."
Birds eat grass seed for one simple reason—it’s delicious! The seeds are rich in nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Seeds are also high in energy, so humans eat trail mix loaded with seeds and nuts for long-distance activities. Grass seed, when unprotected, is also exceptionally easy to access.
Generally, spring is the best time to hire a pest control service, but it also depends on when you notice the infestation. Insect pest numbers are lower in spring before they hatch, making the extermination and prevention process more manageable as nests and eggs of future pests are eliminated. However, don’t hesitate to hire a pest control specialist when you spot signs of a problem.
The brown recluse has numerous predators in the wild (or close to your home). They are a valuable part of the ecosystem, too. Their predators often include birds, praying mantis, crickets, chickens, spider wasps, and more. However, the brown recluse spider is a master at hiding, making it much more difficult for predators to hunt them.
In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it’s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it’s been disturbed, it’s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.
Birds are often averse to certain strong scents. For instance, the odor of predator urine, such as that from foxes or hawks, can deter them. Similarly, birds may dislike the pungent aromas of garlic, onions, and chili peppers. Essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and citrus can also be effective in keeping birds away. However, it's important to note that individual bird species might react differently to these scents, so it might require some experimentation to find the most effective repellent for your specific situation.
