"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."

No single deterrent will work 100 percent of the time, so we suggest combining deterrents to ensure your seed has the best possible chance to grow. Using bird netting over your seed, with physical deterrents like mylar tape coupled with hanging bird feeders at the edges of your growing area—and removing any bird’s nests, if possible—will give your seeds the best possible chance for success.
While not common, bird’s nests can cause problems to your property in some cases.
Block vents for your dryer, stove, and fans, creating a fire hazard
Clog gutters and drains, leading to roof and siding damage
Damage solar panels
Wiring issues if the nest is on or near a light fixture
Woodpeckers usually feed on homes when there is a food source present, and termites are one possible source. However, the presence of woodpeckers doesn’t necessarily mean there are termites. They may also be feeding on more harmless insects like ants or spiders. If woodpeckers seem drawn to one particular part of your home’s siding, it might be worth hiring a termite inspector to check for the presence of these pesky critters.
Yes, in some cases if your damper is left open, animals can come down your chimney. In these instances, it’s more likely that they have fallen in while looking for a safe spot rather than entered your house intentionally. Leaving your damper closed or installing a chimney cap can prevent animals from coming inside.
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.
