We noticed a squirrel had made a nest in the roof above our front entrance (this roof is separate from the main roof and is separated from the rest of the house by the brick facade) by pushing up the aluminum casing beside the gutter. Upon scaring the squirrel to get a better look we noticed the squirrel was a mother with 4 little ones. Based on the reviews on HomeStars we called Pesticon.
We were lighted they answered the call after business hours and would have come out immediately if needed. After describing the problem Waheed quoted me a price of $250. I called the following day to arrange for them to come out and take care of the problem. They came out installed metal wire around the opening with a one-way door. After about a week they came back and removed the door ensuring the mesh was secure.
They guarantee that squirrels and racoons will not be able to enter for a year. They also charged what they quoted over the phone. They were very personable and we would recommend them again.
The only possibly issue we noted was that the trap door was over the gutter and when the young squirrels looked out they didn't see any ground. I think this caused them to hesitate leaving. We came up with a temporary solution so that the squirrels saw ground underneath the door exit. They then exited without any problems. We advised Shakeel (hope I got the spelling correct) and that the placement of the door might be in a better area (if possible) so that young squirrels could walk out. He indicated this had never presented a problem before and they might just have been a little too timid at first. He is the expert and we have no reason to question his explanation or expertise on the matter.
Two thumbs up.
