"I am really happy and satisfied with the service provided.  I called him out because bats were in my attic, bees are in my siding and a squirrel nest in the house.  He came out and cleaned the bat droppings in the attic.  Sealed the entry way the bats used to get inside the house.  Treated the siding for bees and filled the bee entry with silicon and we have not seen any bees thus far.  As for the squirrel he installed a metal mesh that allows the squirrel to get out, but not return.  I am very satisfied with the quick response to my calls, and how he worked with me to schedule an ideal time for the appointment.  I would have no problem recommending them to anyone.  I am very satisfied with the service received.  Price was very reasonable.

"I recently used Ashley’s Critter Gitters. She got back to me really quickly and was able to come to my home the next day. I thought I had a skunk issue but that wasn’t the case. I do have mice getting into my crawl space though. Not good! She was able to seal up the areas they were getting in. I really appreciate the time she took to explain to me about mice and also how she knew I didn’t have a skunk problem. I thought there was one in the crawl space and there was no evidence of that. It was probably coming around at night but I could smell it in the house. I would definitely recommend her service."

"The visit went well. Dimitrius and his son were knowledgeable and helpful. We walked around the house and I pointed out the carpenter bee and wasp areas. They sprayed in all areas except near my vegetable garden, and even let me know how long to wait to let our dog out. Though it has been only two days, I have seen a HUGE improvement in our bee and wasp problem. I suspect that in the next couple of days the pests will be gone."

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Akron, OH

You're likely to find nesting birds in external areas such as your gutters, eaves, porches, and chimneys. Some birds also nest in less obvious spots, like attics or even in your ventilation systems if they gain access. A reputable pro will conduct an inspection before starting any work to check for evidence of where birds may have set up roosting or nesting sites in your home.

Leaving birds to roost and nest on your home creates significant risks that affect both your home's structure and your well-being. The constant droppings, aggressive swooping, and persistent noise can damage siding, allow moisture intrusion, and stain exterior finishes. In addition, the birds’ pecking and droppings can spread diseases and parasites, which can lead to escalating repair costs and health hazards.

Yes, humane removal is possible and ensures that birds remain unharmed during the extraction process. Experts use proven methods to safely capture and relocate both birds and their nests to secure environments. Professionals employ stainless steel spikes as a deterrent while avoiding harmful techniques such as poisons or glue traps. You can rely on trusted specialists who strictly use safe, noninjurious methods, thereby protecting the birds while resolving the nuisance.

Yes, there are legal considerations when removing birds and their nests. You must adhere to strict local and state regulations, which safeguard protected native species during nesting season. Special authorization is required to remove protected birds, their nests, or eggs under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Observing these legal mandates avoids violations and ensures safe, responsible removal.

To prevent birds from returning after nest removal, you can implement deterrent methods. Installing stainless steel spikes creates a secure barrier that prevents birds from roosting without causing injury. In contrast, loose nets may entangle birds and other wildlife, creating additional hazards. A trusted professional will choose and install the optimal method to keep your home bird-free.

A bird’s nest remains viable for a period that depends on the species. The construction phase concludes within 2 days to 3 weeks, followed by a rearing stage lasting 2 to 10 weeks. Most birds become fully independent within 2 to 6 weeks, while certain predatory species require up to 2 1/2 months. This timeline can guide you on when it's safe to intervene.
