Shawn did a great job of setting up an appointment for me to check out possible birds in our attic. This was the first time I had ever contacted them. He had his technician, Danny, on site the next morning. Danny was awesome with great knowledge of what to do to fix our situation. I will contact this company definitely in the future if the need arises. Thanks.

I called on June first 2022 regarding a bat that squeezed through a very small gap in my bedroom window and unfortunately it was 3am and for some reason my call didn't go through on their side so not their fault it happens with my phone all the time. The person I talked to gave me advice on how to make sure a bat doesn't get in again. I now have the area around my window air conditioner completely blocked off with no way for them to even squeeze through.

Unfortunately I didn't have a net or anything to catch it and release it outside and then it started to swoop down at me and I had no other choice but to use a broom to end the bats life which was my last resort as I also had my stepson inside the house thank god the bat wasn't in his room because both bedroom doors were open at that time and they were right across from eachother. I made sure the bat was deceased before I even touched it with very thick gloves and properly disposed of it.

Dalton figured out our issue (red squirrels had chewed through the roof.) He gave us a broad estimate - he guessed that there were 2 squirrels, and if they hadn't given birth, and we caught them, we would be done. If one or both had given birth, that would be another 4 squirrels for each birth, and it would cost another $90 per animal. We appreciated how he explained the cost range and why the range was so large.

He then set some traps. He gave us a choice of what traps to use, and we took his advice. He said that one set of traps was less destructive to the roof, so he preferred to try them first. The squirrels outsmarted them, so he set up the next set of traps the next day, and those worked great. We appreciated that he tried the less destructive method first. In less than a week, our problem was solved. Dalton is excellent at his job, he is informative, and he was a pleasure to work with. I really recommend this company.
