Do you have bees living within your walls and ceilings or problem animals such as skunks, raccoons, birds or bats roosting in your attic, crawlspace or chimney? I can remove these critters from your home without the use of any chemicals or poisons while minimizing the possibility of injuring them in the process.
Bees and bats are part of our natural ecosystem and should not be eradicated. Bees pollinate our gardens and crop fields while bats control the insect population by eating those nasty flies and mosquitoes out in the yard.

What !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? It Stinks !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Is there a dead bird or animal stuck somewhere in your wall or crawl space creating an offensive odor? Did one of those critters poop above your ceiling and now it is causing unsightly stains. Do you have a smelly friend (skunk) living under your barn or shed? I can safely remove the cause of the problem and rid your home of these odors.

Bee Removals
Bee removal services usually involves opening up a wall and/or ceiling to access the bee colony.
This procedure is referred to as a “cutout”.
The time necessary to do a bee removal from a structure using the cutout technique usually takes about one day. On some structures it is not practical or feasible to do a cutout. Such might be the case when the structure is made out of brick, metal or stucco. This requires a different technique called a "trap-out or extraction". In order to do a successful bee removal utilizing the extraction technique some bee equipment has to be set up at a strategic location and has to remain there for a specific amount of time. This procedure usually takes longer and is slightly more costly due to the time requirement. An extraction can take anywhere from one week to as long as six weeks depending on the weather and location of the bee colony as well as the time of year.

Protected Bird Species
Many bird and animal species in Massachusetts are protected by law and can not be destroyed. Woodpeckers are one of these bird species that are commonly found around the home. They might be cute to look at but can become a nuisance when they start hammering on the walls of your home thereby creating a series of holes on your siding. Aside from the structural damage these birds can cause, the hammering action can be nerve-wrecking at times. There are various reasons why woodpeckers perform such activities. Woodpeckers are territorial and they might be hammering to attract a mate or to keep the competition away. Another reason they hammer is to search for insects possibly living within the walls of your home. Sometimes a machine or piece of equipment within the home could be making noises that trick the bird into think that there are insects within the walls.
Whatever the reason might be, my services can remedy the problem and prevent any further hammering activities from taking place around your home. I also do bird removals for non-protected species such as pigeons, starlings and sparrows.

Rodent and Animal Removal
If your problem involves rodents or other mammals affecting areas of your home I can eradicate these intruders through various means. The best way to do this is NOT through the use of poisons which could affect other non-target animals. Poisons can also lead to dying animals crawling beneath or into your home creating an odor problem.
My services include the use of traps, exclusionary devises and/or through preventive maintenance. Think about this...once you get rid of the nuisance animal what will keep that animal or another from returning to your property and re-establishing itself as before. Your problem has started all over again.
