Services
Wildlife Exclusion
Our wildlife exclusion service identifies and seals entry points using galvanized hardware cloth, metal flashing, and RidgeGuard products. We combine animal removal with permanent structural repairs to prevent re-infestation. Our one-year renewable warranty ensures long-term protection against nuisance wildlife.
Attic Insulation Replacement
We restore contaminated attics by removing damaged insulation, sanitizing affected areas, and installing new high-quality materials. Our process eliminates health hazards from animal waste while improving energy efficiency and restoring structural integrity.
Chimney Cap Installation
Professional chimney cap installation prevents wildlife intrusion and water damage while maintaining proper ventilation. We use durable, weather-resistant caps to block entry points for squirrels, raccoons, and birds without compromising chimney functionality.
Crawlspace Sealing
Our crawlspace sealing service fortifies vulnerable entry points with reinforced doors and vent covers. This prevents animal infestations, moisture buildup, and structural damage while maintaining necessary airflow for foundation health.
Animal Waste Cleanup
We address health risks from wildlife contamination through comprehensive cleanup of droppings, urine, and nesting materials. Our process includes disinfection with industry-grade solutions to eliminate pathogens like Hantavirus and Salmonella from attics and crawlspaces.

I originally reached out to this company because I suddenly had a rodent issue. There was no urgency in taking care of the manner and no solution to the problem. I was told that they would be back to check the traps and this never happened. I also tried calling to have someone come back out and they scheduled a date but nobody showed up. Which led the one rat in the walls of my house to reproduce offspring.
I now have a bigger issue on my hands that could've been prevented if this company was more proactive with this specific situation. I'm highly disappointed in the service that was provided and wouldn't recommend this company to anybody else. In addition to that they did a horrible job patching up the basement to avoid more rats coming into the basement and finding their way up into the walls of the house. The traps never had any type of bait on them either.

This company is horrible, they'll rob you out your money and say that they fixed the problem. When really they are just fixing their hands to put money in their pocket. Been told multiple times that they would come and check out the traps but never did. Called them to come check the traps that they set said they would come and never did 0/10 recommendation.

We actually used this company 8 years ago to rid us of flying squirrels. Fast forward to today and we hear some creatures in the attic again. I found my old invoice and called not knowing if they would be around after all this time. I dialed the number and to my surprise they were! They were able to work around my schedule and got here to check out the situation quickly. Jake came out and went right to work.
He identified all the entry points, closed them up, and set up traps. He discussed his findings, showed me photos of our issues and said he would be out to remove anything caught in the traps and to check in. He was able to rid us of our pests. With our warranty, we can be secure in the knowledge of future assistance. Jake was courteous, professional, hard working and a pleasure to work with. This company is top notch, with a well established standing in the community. I would recommend them to anyone. Please consider them first.

I had a visit from "Chris" to get an estimate for removing contaminated attic insulation and replacing it. One thing that was odd is that he wanted to do everything by phone and not use email. When I did get his quote, it was vague and did not specify exactly where, what, and how much insulation they will use. I could not get a basic commitment to a certain depth of insulation. Got the feeling he wanted to commit to an exact dollar amount, but not tell me exactly what they were going to do, and especially not in an email.
I guess whatever is in writing they can be held accountable for. It is not worth the risk and headache to work with a company which may not do the job well and won't commit, in writing, to what they will do.

I love this company! They gave me the most reasonably quote to get rid of my squirrels in attic and snake in crawl space. The guy, Matt, was here a whole day blocking off every possible entrance. This was last year. I called twice to have house checked again in attic and they came right out and put up traps but I don't have any more squirrels. I also called today to ask them to check crawl space for snakes. They crawled from one end to the other of crawl space checking and no snakes still. They are thorough and fabulous to desk with!
