We had a raccoon under the house coming and going for a week. Patrick was able to come out the same day and installed the exit/no entry flap door and that night the raccoon left and was not able to re-enter. Very professional and timely with his work. Excellent communication about services and prices.

Excellent service from Arman. He did a very clean job. Very thorough and efficient. I’m not anticipating a need to call him back at all, as he did a very complete job. I highly recommend Arman and Traction.

Arman worked with me over an extended period to deal with squirrels raccoons and replacing all the vent screens that had been chewed out by animals. He explained very well what the process was and what was going to happen. Work was prompt and well done. He also cares about humanely treating the animals that are removed. Highly recommend.
