Mike and crew removed the fallen tree from my yard. They came prepared and started right to work. Hauled away the trunk and branches. Even added my 2 cans of brush. They were professional, kind and respectful of each other. I will not hesitate to call them if needed in the future. And bless...

Except for the time constraints, which were beyond Allied's control, everything went well. And for the amount of time they spent clearing the obstruction, the price was reasonable.

Called them on a Monday and they couldn't make it out until Thursday. They supposedly fixed the kitchen sink and didn't have the part for the shower so they said they would come back. My husband was in the hospital so we barely used the kitchen sink until I brought him home and lo and behold,...

This service was more of a "C" than what I've come to expect from them which is usually a "B". There was some issue we had and I had to have them come back to take care of it, so they didn't get it right the first time. They are very comprehensive and I like that. They'll do fertilizing, pest...

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

Hawks might seem like fearless predators, but these smart birds do know what other animals to be cautious around. Hawks are naturally wary of humans and predators that see them or their eggs as a potential meal or threat. This list includes owls, crows, eagles, and even snakes or raccoons.

Methods include exclusion devices, netting, and sealing entry points. Professionals ensure compliance with local wildlife regulations.

Costs depend on infestation severity, business size, treatment type, and frequency of service.

It is possible, though unlikely, that a home insurance policy will help cover the costs of professional bat removal. However, some policies will chip in for guano removal and associated repairs, such as replacing drywall. Take some time to read the fine print of your homeowner’s insurance policy and call your provider to inquire about bat removal, guano removal, and related repairs.

When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try:

Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.
Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away.
Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.
