"Replied promptly, very courteous, very professional, found & removed dead bird from clothes dryer, good clean-up, reasonably priced. I plan to use him in the future."
"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."
I am a landlord and at the end of my current tenant's lease, during the walk through they informed me that there was some type of critter in the attic that was eating through the insulation on the pipes and anything else it could get it paws on. I was mortified because my new tenant (a single female whom I had never spoken with nor met in person) was scheduled to take possession of the property in 2 days. It was very important to me that I deliver a pristine property to my new renter.
I quickly became and Angie's List subscriber and located Hector at Arrest A Pest. I left a voice message that he returned within minutes. He came to my home quickly and mapped out a plan to resolve my problem. He and his crew were wonderful professionals and my critter is GONE. Still not sure what it was, but 100% identification is not required, just a 100% critter free attic is.
They have provided quarterly service for us for about the past two years. They are extremely professional and kind every time they come. They were very careful to treat every single fire ant mound on our 1.6 acre lot after hearing that my daughter was bit by fire ants. They are always careful with our wooden baseboards, children napping in rooms, and our little dog. They always were foot covers and are friendly but not overly chatty. They don't always come on the day that they are scheduled but do come near the scheduled date. They are great to spray the outside if we are not home and are happy to spray and re-spray the inside anytime we need. Since using Silver Lining we are no longer seeing as many scorpions, which is impressive in our area. They also did a special treatment about a year ago when they noticed a problem with carpenter ants.
"It went great. Bennett is very professional, punctual and friendly. He knows what he is doing and explains what needs to be done and why. Very good prices and extremely fast. I will definitely be calling him again for monthly pest control."
"I initially wanted to get a solar attic fan installed. But the model was not what I wanted since it didn't have an thermostat or any way to turn it off, in times of unnecessary use. Manuel provided me with a couple other options and I decided to go with an exhaust fan that was thermostat controlled and I could unplugged if I wanted. While there I asked Manuel about adding more insulation to the attic since I had been up there a few times and had disturbed and move insulation around, and I had noticed in some areas the builder had not provide good coverage. Being satisfied with his response and knowledge I told him I may have another project as well. After coming down from attic I discussed and explained how I thought about providing better ventilation in the garage. Manuel concurred and we came up with a plan. He provided me the two estimates. (garage ventilation and more insulation in the attic.) He also told me that with the garage project there could be more to do depending on what the builder had done--that was nice to hear so I won?t be surprised in the future if there could be more work and cost involved. I was very pleased with the entire process. From Insulation Works responsiveness with their answers to my questions in Angie's list message center; right up to the day of the work and dealing with Manuel. I will be using them again in the future. Thank you Insulation Works and Manuel for your service. "
"I had purchased a big deal for the service. I had a little difficulty getting a hold of them, but when they showed up they were great, and did what they were supposed to do. I paid additional for the vents. I think they are probably market price. He worked hard. Everything was fine after I got a hold of them, but it was just the initial contact."

Keeping your pool cover clean is a good way to keep smaller animals from running across it or using it as shelter. Small animals may use leaf debris on top of the cover to hide. Cleaning also removes nuts that may fall from a nearby tree that could otherwise be a tempting snack for some animals, like squirrels.
Look for goose repellents that contain the ingredient methyl anthranilate. This is a natural chemical found in grape juice. In human food, it’s often used as grape flavoring. With geese, it’s highly irritating. Grape Kool-Aid contains methyl anthranilate, the active ingredient in most bird repellents. It won’t harm geese, but it will deter them.
Set live traps or install a one-way door to evict squirrels, rodents, and other animals from your attic. Once they’re out, seal any entry points to prevent the animals from returning. If you’re dealing with an infestation, call a pro.
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.
Yes, it’s possible for bats in your attic to find a way into your living spaces. Until you can properly remove the bats, the best course of action is to keep the attic doors closed and any holes sealed. Evidence suggests bats follow the airflow in your home, so they may try escaping from the attic to other parts of the house.
