How can I tell what kind of animal is in my attic?

• <div><p>It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:</p><ul><li><p><b>Sounds</b>: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.</p></li><li><p><b>Droppings</b>: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.</p></li></ul><p>When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.</p></div>

What’s the difference between pest control and wildlife removal?

• <div><p>Calling your local exterminator at the first sign of a wild animal problem might be tempting. But <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-pest-control-service-cost.htm">pest control</a> isn’t the same as wildlife removal, and you’ll want to stick with a wildlife removal pro for this job. <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/exterminators/">Pest control exterminators</a> treat for insect removal and may even use poisonous sprays. Wildlife removal companies only use poison as a last resort and always try humane methods first—taking special care not to harm wild animals.</p></div>

How long do pest inspections take?

• <div><p>Depending on the size of your home and accessibility, expect professional pest inspections to take between <b>30 and 60 minutes</b>. If you have a large property or limited accessibility, pest inspections may take longer. </p></div>

Their electricians were very knowledgeable and understood my home control system and made some very good recommendations that would benefit my system. I have used Bosworth for many years for plumbing, HVAC and electrical and recommend them highly for all of these services.

This is the company that Betenbough Homes apparently uses to treat the foundations of the homes they are building in North Odessa. We purchased a newly built home in June. By October, we had been informed by an inspector with Terminix that the soil around our home was "infested with termites"...

Brian with Alexander Pest Control was punctual, efficient, and very professional. I did not compare prices so am not sure how reasonable they are. However, I will use this company again.

The price varies from $75-$150. Not very many people provide the same service they do as far as coming by regularly to fertilize and weed control the lawn. We will continue to use them.
