Daniel saved us by catching a family of Racoon’s. They were safely rehomed. He was prompt and friendly. We were so thankful he was available to deal with with them. Our dogs were going nuts trying to get the Racoon’s.

Had a gopher issue in my yard. The issue was spread across multiple neighbors and they offered to discount my price if the neighbors wanted the service as well. They used a poison method so the gophers could not retreat to the neighbors and come back later. They were very kind, same day service, flattened the mounds…

Daniel was very responsive. He provided a straightforward quote over the phone and answered all my questions. Their prices were very fair. He was able to come the day after I called for a quote, and was incredibly efficient and informative while he was here. He set rodent traps and sprayed all around our house, garage and yard in less than an hour.

They used a poison method so the gophers could not retreat to the neighbors and come back later. They were very kind, same day service, flattened the mounds free of charge, and explained the entire process to me. Cheaper than other companies I called in the area by almost $100. 60 day warranty. Plus they had a cute dog in the truck!!

I am a senior who had raccoons get into the top of my shed and skunks borrow underneath it. I called Daniel's and they quoted me their pricing it was reasonable. They did a great job of trapping the animals. They put up heavy duty wire mesh on my rafter area where the raccoons were getting in and the put up an underground fence around the bottom of my shed. They were very responsive too my needs.

Daniel and his team do great work! We had a raccoon make a home in an old car on the side of the house and his team came out the same day on a weekend to set traps and caught it within a few days. Problem solved!
