Racoons and Squirrels had broken into my attic through a roof intersection and a roof vent. Justin was very professional, thorough and informative. He installed two one-day doors with bait, and then came back a few days later to close them up and also put a wire mesh/cage around all roof vents and potential entry areas. Hopefully this will prevent another problem in the future and make my house the least desirable one on the block. I would highly recommend Justin at AAA Gates Wildlife to others.

Hi Vic, having both raccoons and squirrels in the same house is not that common but it does happen on occasion. Usually the raccoons will chase the squirrels out. Thank you for complimenting Justin for being "professional, thorough and informative." I also like your comment about your house being "the least desirable one on the block." By animal-proofing all active and potential entry holes you have certainly made your neighbours houses more attractive to the critters looking for den sites. Brad Gates, B.Sc.

I called Joe because I had a large number of wasps hovering around a covered back porch. They were coming in and out of two openings in the roof of the porch. His method sounded interesting to me (vacuuming a large number of them out before dusting). He worked here for about two hours. I can't yet comment too much on how effective his work was, as he just completed. He told me to call him if I still saw some hovering around in a week or two. Right now I can see that there are some wasps still hovering around trying to get back into the openings, but it seems that they are being turned away by the dust. So far I am very happy with Joe's professionalism and punctuality. I will write another review in a couple of weeks after I can comment on the effectiveness -- hopefully these wasps are gone for good.

Thanks for your review. In this particular case the wasps were entering the siding on two fronts. I have never seen so many wasps. I hauled out well over a thousand wasps and still did a revisit two weeks later as a few were still around. Knowing the extent and relative size of a hidden nest is impossible and by simply dusting I know that based on this job's dynamics it would have been a dangerous situation for this client. Thousands of wasps hovering to get in and wasps potentially entering the home would have been the result of not doing the job correctly. I don't know how many calls I get whereby a homeowner or company just blocked the entry /exit area with a dust or spray. Joe

My wife and I hired Tom to inspect a home we were purchasing. He was very thorough and knowledgable. He pointed out all issues to us - regardless of how minor - so we could monitor in the future. The home inspection report we received was detailed and also included photos. He also used a thermal imaging camera to detect where there was any heat loss. Highly recommended. A home inspection is not something you want to cheap out on. I am sure you can find a less expensive home inspector, but you get what you pay for, and in this case it is worth every penny.
