"I used them for mosquito control Weather has a major impact on scheduling, so it was hard to set firm dates for service. Always showed up once they were scheduled. Treatments provided significant, but not total relief from mosquito problem. Price was good compared to other services. Techs were always pleasant and professional."

"Polite, Professional. All techs called ahead of my service appointment. They solved my mouse problem better than the family cat. Their invoices/paper records were inconsistent. 3 visits, 3 different invoice records. Even a post-it was used. Very odd to me. However, they we're hired for pest control, not paper management. I would recommend this company to friends and family."

"The experience went good. We haven’t had any more problems. We’ve been at home for 30 years and we just had some bugs. I don’t know how it happened but we just had couple of bed bugs. Now they’re gone. It’s a very clean home. We tried to take care of it ourselves but we just decided to have them in. He was accurate, thorough, said he would come back if needed and respected my home. My husband and I were pleased. I have not seen any more bugs."

"I use them for pest control and lawn. They're excellent. I haven't had a spider or ladybugs or any mice in the garage at all since they've been doing my pest control. The lawn care is $49 a time and the pest control is $79 four times a season for pest control.  I've been using them for years."

"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Mchenry, IL

Bats slip through gaps as small as 1/4 inch, so your best defense is a thorough seal-up and a few simple habit tweaks. Start by caulking or screening every crack around chimneys, eaves, and vents. Swap dim porch bulbs for brighter LEDs or motion lights (bats dislike the glare), and consider an ultrasonic deterrent if they keep circling. 

Finally, remove easy snacks—cover standing water and skip the nighttime bird-feeder refills. These steps go a long way toward keeping your home bat-free.

Standard homeowners’ insurance rarely pays for bat removal because insurers view it as routine maintenance. You might get partial help for guano cleanup or related repairs, but that varies by policy. Review your insurance policy carefully and contact your provider for a definitive explanation. Securing all entry points remains the homeowner’s responsibility to prevent future incursions.

The sweet spot for bat exclusion is late summer through spring. That window keeps you inside most state rules and protects baby bats that haven’t learned to fly yet. Removal activities are conducted when bats are less active, with some states permitting work from August through May and others ceasing removal in March. Consult a qualified bat removal specialist to confirm the valid timeframe for your area.

Spotting a dead bat can be unsettling, but a calm, careful approach keeps everyone safe. First, call your state wildlife office to report the find and ask about local rules. Snap a quick photo from a distance, then—wearing disposable gloves—place the bat in a sealed plastic bag for disposal as directed. 

Wipe down nearby surfaces with disinfectant, wash your hands thoroughly, and schedule a pest-control pro to make sure no live bats (or harmful guano) remain hidden in the house.
