"We talked to three companies including Resolution Pest to address our issue with carpenter bees. Resolution Pest was the only company willing to come to our property and take a look and provide an estimate. One company wanted almost double the amount of the service we received without even coming out. John was professional and courteous and did fast and excellent work. I would highly recommend Resolution Pest for your pest control needs and should the need arise, we will be calling them again!"

"Company was professional and came out, inspected and set traps for mice. Signed on for 60 day warranty to have follow up visits for routine inspection. Continued to call and state problem was not resolved and stated to individual who came out for follow on inspections. After several calls had another individual come out and inspect. Said we were likely dealing with squirrels and not mice. Said we should seal house and there was nothing further they could help with. Problem still is not resolved and working with new pest company to resolve the issue."

"The inspection was done through my home inspector on same date as inspection.  So I was able to get two things accomplished at the same time which is really important during the inspection phase of purchasing a house.  About three months after I moved into my new home, I called on this company again as I thought I  possibly had flying squirrels in my attic.  An appointment was made and kept with effectiveness and efficiency and there was no cost for evaluation.  No squirrels were found."

"Mark is great!!! He was here in about an hour and 1/2 (the time it took him to drive from his location to mine) to remove the bat in our church. Mark was courteous and professional. He even took time to answer our questions about the bat! I would definitely recommend BuxMont-Wildlife & Animal Removal to anyone who has 'critter' issues!"

"They came multiple times to spray for a cockroach infestation. Technician who came was polite and courteous. Took several sprays to control the problem, but they kept coming back until the job was done."

With freezing temperatures finally upon us and a neighborhood with a squirrel population explosion afoot, we found ourselves with a pesky, persistent squirrel h***-bent on chewing its way into our attic via the roofline just under our gutters.  It was a corner of the house too tight for us to fully reach and effectively secure from inside the house, and too high and dangerous for us to reach from a ladder outside.  It was clearly a job to be done ONCE and RIGHT, A JOB FOR PROFESSIONALS.  Bewildered by the chewing and persistence, I left a message for Mr. Merritt on Wednesday, January 12.  He called me back within a few hours.  He was a delight to speak with.  He sent technicians Ray and CJ out early (8:30AM) the next morning, January 13th.  They had all the right equipment and expertise.  The hole was confirmed vacant.  They stuffed it with steel wool and shored up the hole with aluminum sheeting and screwed it on tight.  For the first time in about 5 days I could relax and not worry about listening for that awful chewing sound, neither running out of my house nor sticking my head out our attic window to shoo-away that darned squirrel.  These men did a great job.  The condition of our fascia board was in very good shape (not rotted or in bad shape to start with), so it was just unfortunate that the squirrel chose THIS SPOT to work so hard to get in.  We could not have done the job ourselves, safely or as efficiently as these gentlemen did.  They knew what materials to use, and they had it all ready to install.  They were able to a**** the situation and provide a remedy that would work well for us.  The job was done in about 45 minutes.  The charge was perfectly reasonable and I would certainly call them again if I had another problem.  I would also recommend them to everyone.

"I called in the morning; they came out this afternoon and did the job. Since the squirrels were out for the day (or so it seemed), they decided that the best solution would be to gas them out (in case hiding) and then seal up the entry point. Trapping they said was another solution, but would be more time consuming & expensive and they would still ultimately seal up all entry points. (Also, there are lots of squirrels in this neighborhood, in part because an annoying neighbor leaves peanuts for them). From what I've read on the web, I'm afraid they may find new ways in. But the guys surveyed the entire roof and seemed pretty confident that the entry point they were sealing would do the trick. Sealing up the entry point was not a simple job, but it *looks* like they did a good job. I did not rate quality because they just did the job today and so I'll have to wait and see if the critters stay out. BUT, key is that the job comes with a 5 year warranty-- so I'm to call if they somehow manage to get back in. The two guys were incredibly nice and informative and did investigating of some of the other problems we're having (flooding in the basement, which is ultimately caused by a dislodged downspout, which the squirrels are most likely responsible for). MOST IMPORTANT LESSON FROM MY EXPERIENCE: TELL 'EM YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT THEM ON ANGIE'S LIST!!! Since I had checked other jobs on Angie's list, I had an idea of how much I might have to pay. When he first gave me a price quote it was higher than that. I sort of hemmed and hawed and said that that was more than I expected to pay. Then I mentioned Angie's list and he immediately dropped the price a significant amount. Makes the Angie's list membership well worth the price."

"Keystone did an excellent service cleaning our heating/air conditioning ducts. Very professional and polite. Involved me in looking at what they were doing and their findings. In fact, we had the same ducts cleaned by another company in the past and found they missed several locations and we found  items such as a fork, baby powder container and several small toys still in the ducts.

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
