"I called because of a racoon and babies living under the floor of my mobile home. They came out and put a deterrent under the home and charged me $300. No results after a week. They then set a trap for another week. No results. They basically told me "sorry" and if I called them again, it would be another $300."

"A great experience. I was able to call and get in touch with Bob immediately and schedule an appointment within a day or two. John came out and solved the issue. He also used a less hazardous product to achieve the goal which we appreciated. John explained everything and yes - they are definitely not out to sell you more services than needed like other companies sometimes do. Very pleased with service. Will definitely use again."

"We hired Flinn Inspection during our home buying process and paid $650 for what we believed would be a thorough inspection. Unfortunately, this inspection failed to identify multiple major defects that should have been obvious and were later confirmed by licensed professionals. Significant issues that were missed or not inspected at all include: ? Improperly installed insulation throughout the home ? Active roof leaks in the knee wall attic ? Mold growth, later confirmed by laboratory testing and multiple mold remediation companies ? Bathroom ventilation venting directly into the attic, not to the exterior (not up to code) ? Two knee wall attic spaces were never inspected at all ?. The bathtub and shower exposed to the knee wall attic. Many of these conditions are not up to code and directly contributed to moisture intrusion and mold. We now have documentation from mold professionals, insulation companies, remodeling contractors, and roofers, all confirming these defects and dating "

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Columbus, 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.
