"Paul and his assistant Larry arrived on time and removed a very large hornet nest which was located very close to where we park our cars. They were very friendly and were experts at removing the nest. We had also been having problems with black wasps showing up in our bedroom repeatedly over the course of several weeks.  They investigated the attic and found several large wasp nests and removed them as well.  Before they came, we were averaging 3-4 wasps a week in our bedroom, but since they removed the nests, we haven't seen any.
Paul also walked around the outside of the house and told me where the wasps were likely getting in, and suggested ways that we could seal up cracks around windows and at the top of the house in order to prevent problems in the future.
We had a bat in our bedroom a few weeks prior to calling them. We were able to remove it ourselves, but we wanted to know if there were any other bats in the attic.  Paul checked the attic as well as possible outside entry points and found that there was no evidence of a bat problem.
The price was a bit steep, but considering the size of the nest and the number of wasp nests that were found in the attic, it was worth it to call in an expert to do what I didn't want to attempt to do.
Overall, we had a very good experience with Bat Bee & Hornet Removal Service, and if we have any more problems with critters, we will be sure to give them a call and would recommend them to anyone else.

"Davidson Roofing replaced a roof for us after a hail storm. Professional, courteous, and quality work throughout the entire project. We had a leak around our dormers after a couple of months, which they came out and repaired within 24 hours of my call to them. From the original quote to the roofing, to the follow-up service ... I was very pleased."

"I had the pleasure of dealing with Chris from Nuisance Wildlife Removal, and I have to say it was an overall positive experience. He was very informative about my raccoon problem, and kept me up to date about his findings. Not to mention I searched high and low for a pest control company such as this one in my area, and after submitting my issue via Servicemagic, I received a response from he owner of the company no less than an hour later!!! Unfortunately in the end, there wasn't a raccoon to capture, but either way, I'm glad I called this company. I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone needing such service. -Del"

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.

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. 

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:

  • Sounds: 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.

  • Droppings: 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.

When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.

Woodpeckers may seek out homes with aluminum siding or tin roofs because these surfaces echo their drumming. Homes with wood siding are more frequently targeted as roosting areas or for food sources. If you have insects living in the exposed wood in your home, the birds are likely looking for a snack, in which case your best option is to hire an exterminator.

Bird and bat pest control involves assessing the site, installing deterrents, sealing entry points, and, in some cases, safely removing infestations following regulatory guidelines.
