Question 1

Why are animals coming into or around my home?

Accepted Answer

It depends on a lot of factors. You might have openings underneath your home, or the animals could be looking for places to live during breeding season. I’ll be able to determine the specifics once I look at the area.

Question 2

Is there a certain time of year when pest removal or damage repair is the most effective?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I have to be careful about when I do certain kinds of work. By law, I have to be wary of separating mothers and nursing babies, and I may not be able to seal the outside of your home during winter because the animals will die if they’re hibernating underneath. It’s better to wait until they’re awake so I can trap and remove them from the property. On the other hand, birds only nest during certain times of year, so there are optimal times to prevent them. Once I determine your specific problems and concerns, I’ll help you find the right time for your job.

Question 3

Can you solve my problem without killing the animal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer humane trapping and release services.

Question 4

Why should I hire a licensed and insured pest control contractor?

Accepted Answer

In California, there are many laws that deal with the trapping, release and treatment of animals, so it takes a professional to do the job correctly. I do a lot of work behind the scenes that my clients never see, but it keeps everyone safe and legally compliant.

Question 5

Can’t I just trap the animals myself?

Accepted Answer

You can buy live traps, but many of those traps can be hard to set and they aren’t even that strong, so animals can escape or become tangled. When that happens, you’ll have to call a professional anyway, and the job becomes more difficult because the animal is injured or scared. Also, it’s hard to relocate animals, so even if you catch something, you still have to figure out what to do with it. If you call a professional at the outset, you can solve all these problems at once.
