Sorry this review is a little late, but I promised I would leave one, and I'm a man of my word…read more Mike was prompt, professional, and incredibly reassuring, even though I was pretty shaken up. He quoted me a price upfront and assured me he would only charge the full amount if he actually found the snake. Since he didn't, he honored his word and only charged me $50 for the service call. On top of that, he even offered to fix my garage door at no extra charge. It's rare to find someone who is not only honest and fair but also genuinely cares about helping people. Mike is an invaluable resource, especially during the summer months. I highly recommend his services!

I reached out to several businesses in the neighboring area on Friday 7/3 because I had seen a…read moresnake along the side of our house. We were having out of town guests coming to stay with us and they were going to arrive within a couple of hours. We had planned on being in our backyard and young children, so we needed to address the snake immediately. We were thinking we might not be able to reach anyone since several businesses closed on 7/3 in observance of July 4th. Mike, however, contacted me immediately via phone. When we spoke I wasn't sure what kind of snake it was since I only saw its body (its head and tail were wrapped around a garbage bag of recycling). Even without knowing if the snake was venomous he let me know he would be able to come in about 30 mins from Folsom. He arrived within the agreed timeframe and was able to catch the little guy (garter snake luckily) within a few mins! He checked a few other spots where possibly other snakes might be hiding and didn't find any others. He mentioned that the side of our house was the perfect hot spot for snakes to come hang out, so we will try to figure out what options we have to make it less desirable for snakes of any kind! Mike took the snake with him and let us know he'd release it near Folsom lake. Mike was very prompt in responding to the yelp inquiry, came as quickly as he could, took care of the problem quickly, and was professional during our correspondence. If we ever need to have a snake removed from our property again we will certainly give Mike a call! We just hope we never have to ever again!

If you have the chance to get them to come out to do the job, stop researching all the other options out there because trust me, they will do the job as good as anyone can do it, but also bring professionalism, integrity, compassion and a real human understanding. I was losing sleep every night because there was rummaging and scraping taking place on the roof above my bed. I suspected it was either birds or squirrels and had tried checking everything myself but couldn't find anything. I called around to some places to describe the issue I was having and at least one person referred me to Thomas Wildlife Control. I called up and managed to luck out by securing an appointment the following day. Brandon showed up on time ready to go to work and was very personable. He walked me through the process he would take and was very transparent with me including setting expectations so there wasn't any guess work involved. Cutting to the chase, he not only managed to find what was going on and causing it, but took the time to show me and explained how important it was to catch the culprit then because of all the other damage that could be done if it wasn't caught. Then he managed to provide a very reasonable solution to take care of the problem and did excellent, clean work. Brandon was like the more professional Doctor Doolittle / animal whisperer and made the whole experience feel easy and a great value. Now I'm sleeping peacefully and feel reassured that the problem was resolved. It's rare to feel like you really get what you paid for these days and I not only feel this way, but like I got the gold standard of work done. You won't regret hiring this company if you're lucky enough to get them on the books. Honest, reasonable, personable, reassuring, hard working and easy going... what more could you want? Thanks so much again guys.

I experienced the same thing many other reviewers have mentioned regarding Erik's incredible customer service and knowledge of rodents. He quickly identified several entry points the mice were likely using that I never would have considered myself. During the work, he was even able to show me staining and other evidence confirming they were actively using those routes to get into the attic. I was also very happy to learn that Erik is a licensed roofing contractor in addition to performing rodent exclusion work, as I needed my roof valleys cleaned as well. After removing the tiles, he showed me how much debris had built up underneath in areas that weren't visible from the outside and explained that I was likely only about a year away from developing a major leak. Overall, I found his pricing to be very fair, and he was genuinely one of the friendliest people I've worked with. I'll absolutely be calling him again in a few years for another checkup.

Those pesky rats. A bit over a year after Erik and Lyle rat-proofed our roof, we again began…read morehearing the little pests in our attic. But how did they get in? I called Erik and he was able to stop by the next morning to have a look. After about 30 minutes of walking the exterior, he could not see any clear signs of how they got in. He scheduled us for about a week later, for a thorough examination. He and two crew members (Lyle, Jake) spent well over an hour, each independently examining all sides of our house for signs of entry. He also got on the roof and examined it, and all the work they did last year. Nothing. The roof looked fine, there were no signs of trails going up the walls. They were stumped, but had a few more places to check. One of the three finally discovered the new entry points, which were unique to our home. (The rats managed to burrow under some columns we have that hold up a back patio cover. The builder built most of the posts on concrete, but left several inches overhang over soil. And that's all the rats needed.) Erik wrote up a quote to seal the columns. It wasn't cheap, but fair. They did the work about two weeks later. They also set some traps up in our attic, in case some rats got sealed in, but it's been several weeks now and so far, no signs. As much as I appreciate the work that Erik and his team do, I'm hopeful (and hoping) this will be the last we'll need them!

Then I found Sacramento Valley Wild Life Services. They charged $495 as initial service fee that according to the agreement covered inspection, trap set up and removal. They sent a young woman (looked like a teenager). she barely talked, didn't inspect our property, and put 2 cages in random places (we have more than 25 tunnels along our foundation). in 10 days nothing has been trapped. The only things that they caught were ants, lots of ants. so now we don't only have a squirrel problem, we have an ant problem. I have to add that these people charge $145 for each squirrel they catch. We regret spending those $500 ...
