Q: When are woodpeckers most active?

• <div><p>Woodpeckers peck at the break of dawn and take a break whenever the sun is not shining. On sunny days, expect pecking from dawn to dusk. On cloudy days, expect sporadic pecking when the sun peeks through. These birds are most active in the spring; you&rsquo;ll hear them drumming as soon as the weather turns warm. </p></div>

Q: Do bats in the attic cause damage?

• <div><p>Yes, bats can cause quite a bit of damage to the attic. Their weight and movement from flying around can damage insulation, and they can chew through wiring and the walls. As if this isn&rsquo;t enough, they leave their droppings throughout, which carry harmful bacteria and is dangerous for humans to breathe in, not to mention the extremely foul-smelling odor.</p></div>

Q: What are the best ways to prevent a bird from returning to the nest site?

• <div><p>Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them. </p><p>Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.</p></div>

Q: What animal is running on my roof at night?

• <div><p>Identifying the specific animal running on your roof at night can be challenging without direct observation. Common nocturnal roof visitors include raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and rats. Raccoons are bigger and can create heavy thumping sounds. Squirrels are agile and may produce rapid scurrying noises. Opossums tend to move stealthily with less noise. Rats can make scratching or gnawing sounds. To determine the culprit, look for signs like footprints, droppings, or damaged areas near the roof. For accurate identification, consult a pest control professional or set up wildlife cameras near potential entry points.</p></div>

Q: What are signs I have bats in my house?

• <div><p>Chirping noises, droppings, scratches on the walls, and stains at entries and exits are all <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-signs-bats-attic.htm">signs that you have bats in your house</a> or, more specifically, your attic. Because bats are nocturnal, there&rsquo;s a chance that bats have already infested your home before you start to see warning signs, so don&rsquo;t delay if you notice anything. If you see a bat or two at sunrise or sunset near your property, that&rsquo;s another telltale sign that they could be setting up shop inside your space. </p></div>

Wonderful - showed up right on time - made room on his schedule to work me in before I went on vacation. Vents had not been cleaned in almost 20 years and had a bird's nest built up. I will use him again.

He came out and was very informative on short notice. He was not able to capture the small bird, but provided a lot of information to help me deal with the bird. Successive visits are $60 and he made himself available if something did need to be done to remove the animal. Overall good experience!
