"No chemicals (we have dogs) and traps are covered with a green small bucket - very discrete - staked into the ground so other animals can't disturb them. Wonderful!"
"Dave is the absolute best! He is so knowledgeable and can get creative with pest solutions while keeping our baby, dogs and bird safe. I specifically ask for him every time for a reason. Thanks Dave!"
"This company was very professional. Jennifer came out and gave us an estimate for Rodent control only as well as a full clean out and re-insulation. We chose the rodent control. Well we had a squirrel and it got mad when it couldn't get out so Jennifer had to come back three times to reopen the screen wait for him to leave and then re-close it before he got back in. Great Job!"
"Don is very knowledgeable and looks for the small things that can help keep the rats out of my house (like stapling hardware cloth around the propane (spigot ? ) on the outside of my house."
If a wild animal enters your yard, prioritize safety for yourself and the animal. Remember to avoid direct contact and always keep a safe distance. Contact local authorities or a wildlife rehabilitation center if the animal is hurt or in distress. Both sources should be able to guide you on how to proceed and send help if needed. Please wait for the animal to leave naturally for non-threatening situations, as many will. To deter future visits, implement measures like securing trash cans, sealing entry points, and removing potential food sources.
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.
High-frequency bird repellent devices are effective at driving away birds, which is their intended purpose. However, these devices also tend to have unintended negative consequences. For example, if you or your neighbors own pets, the high-pitched noise emitted by these electronic devices will cause them distress and may even make them aggressive.
Some birds of prey, like owls, hunt at night. Hawks are diurnal and need good light to see their prey. You could see them circling anytime from dawn to dusk. Species like the common red-tailed hawk are most active in the early morning and late evening when their prey is also typically on the go.
Studies indicate that owls don't possess a conventional sense of fear. However, they find intense, sudden human noise unsettling, like clapping or shouting. Additionally, owls are likely spooked by sudden bursts of bright light. While they may not experience fear as humans do, these disturbances can disrupt their natural behaviors, making it essential to minimize such disruptions when sharing spaces with these remarkable creatures.
