"We found a groundhog tunnel on our property right by our front porch. I called Buckeye Wildlife Solutions to capture and remove it. They were very prompt in scheduling an appointment and the groundhog was captured only minutes after the traps were initially set. They kept the traps there for three more days in case any others were in the burrow. Buckeye Wildlife Solutions also filled in the hole with concrete after the traps were removed to ensure it was not dug up again by another groundhog. They were very professional and timely, gave all prices in advance of doing any work, and answered all my questions. I would certainly recommend."

"I found a bee's nest in a hole in my yard, and I hired 1st Response to remove it. Bobby took care of it the next day and also removed two wasp nests that he found on my house. 1st Response was easy to work with, and I would use them again."

"I had this company come to remove a large hornets nest and also to help me with a groundhog problem. I didn’t give them perfect scores only because we haven’t yet caught the groundhogs! They were timely and able to remove the hornets’ nest quickly and without any injuries to anybody involved. I would definitely recommend them."

"Adams will be my go-to pest control service moving forward. I found a yellow jacket nest in my yard while mowing and put out a request for service via Angi. Adams was quick to respond and O'Connor came out to inspect. He was flexible in scheduling a time to come out and deal with it the next day. Here's the thing, on that first day he was out, we walked over a portion of my yard to get to inspect the nest...when he returned the next day, he found a second nest that popped up literally overnight in the portion of the yard we had walked over. It was crazy! So, O'Connor knocked out both nests and did two sweeps over the entirety of my yard to look for any more. The treat was quick and thorough, and both nests were done within 48 hours. Couldn't ask for better service or a nicer group of people to work with. And they're locally owned, which makes it even better!"

Different pest control methods exist to help mitigate an infestation. Not every technique will work with every pest, which is why speaking with a pest control expert is crucial to taming your problem. Different methods of pest removal include:
Heat treatments
Freezing treatments
Traps
Barriers
Chemical pesticides
Fumigation
Rodenticides
Mechanical devices
Repellants
The cost of pest control is $175 for the average homeowner. However, you could spend as little as $100 or as much as $500 or more, depending on the infestation size, the number of visits you need, and the pest you’re exterminating.
For example, if you need to rid your home of spiders, you’ll likely be spending between $100 and $300. However, if you have a termite problem, you can expect a bill of $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the infestation size and damage caused.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
Even if you’re not immediately showing signs of pests, it’s a good idea to get into the habit of routine pest control. This should be done yearly, quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly, depending on your location and if any signs of infestation are already present. For example, if you live by water, you might experience more pests in the spring and summer than someone who lives in a dry climate. Discuss treatment options with your pest professional to determine a suitable schedule for you and your home.
