"I've been using Green Pest Services for many years now and couldn't be happier. Adam is our guy who is very professional, friendly to our kids and dogs and always makes sure to have a conversation with us so we feel like we have gotten to know him. I use them for a quarterly service, they always come back when I need them between appointments, easy to reach and get ahold of and I will continue using them."

"The provider set up treatment outside, but the customer has experienced respiratory issues since then and still has rodents and bugs. Despite instructions not to apply anything inside, chemicals appear to have seeped into the floorboards, worsening her health. The provider charged over $4k plus $185 every three months but did not install traps to catch rodents. The customer does not want them to return and reports the basement is in disarray, contributing to the ongoing issues."

"The work was excellent. Will came for the estimate and was very polite and kind. He explained the process to me and answered my questions. Fortunately, whatever was in my attic vacated before Will arrived so I was able to proceed with repairs without fear of trapping any unfortunate critters inside my attic. All of the work was unobtrusive and remained outside. J.P. and Austin were the ones that did the repairs. I was very happy with the end results! They too were both very kind and polite and addressed all of my questions. For both appointments (estimate and repair), the technicians were on time. They worked very efficiently too. I was very happy that I found a company who could deal with both possible animal removal and the repair of damage caused by animals getting into the attic."

"Sheldon Faison F.A.C.E.S. LLC served as my inspector during the month of August in regards to closing on my property. Since then -- and barely a month later, I experienced issues in regards to the heating system. I paid to update it and was informed I would need to replace the HVAC unit completely before the end of the year (*this is noticeable because the HVAC unit was perhaps the first thing I inquired with you about but I was told not to worry about it and that the system was still "good"*). Note that this will cost approximately $6,000 - $10,000 in addition to the $1,000 I've already paid. Secondly, we are now in the month of March--I haven't been in my home for a full year and already, there are issues with water leaking from the third floor bathroom unto the living room floor. If one actually looks closely, there appears to be a very obvious bulge in the living room ceiling that was there since the day of closing. I reviewed the report and while it does mention issues with ceiling drywall not being sealed properly, this was not mentioned during the walkthrough and no added importance given to this issue versus less serious issues being given high importance during the walk though despite this inspector placing a great importance on explaining things to the minutiae. There were also issues with the toilet running that resulted in a higher than normal water bill for a few months that I also had to account for and again--this was not mentioned in the inspection report. I am sure there are quite more issues that haven't come to light yet but as a first time homeowner-- it is extremely disappointing to me that these items were not factored in the inspection report as this would have made all the difference in my decision to purchase this home."

"Our family had a positive experience with My Pest Pros (MPP) in removing a large hornet's nest (soccer-ball size) from a tree just above the driveway of our townhome. After looking at different reviews and comparing vendors, I decided to try MPP as a first-time customer. Lots of pluses. First, Kayla (receptionist) was friendly and professional during the intake call on Friday to assess the problem, ask for the location of the hornet's nest, and provide an estimated time window on the next business day (Monday). We requested a one-time service payment option by check. Second, the staff person (Hunter) arrived on time (8:30am) and called me 15 minutes in advance. He completed the job in about 40 minutes by spraying chemicals to reduce the number of live hornets, sawed off the entire branch of the crape myrtle tree, and then cleared the entire branch with the soccer-ball size hornet's nest attached. Third, he explained we were lucky the hornets were not bald-faced hornets (which continue to attack you even after the nest is removed). Although it was $275 to complete the work, it was worth it to remove the hornet's nest and gain peace of mind. We would use their services again!"

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Bethesda, MD

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.
