Drew, Travis and Bryan all came out to make sure our squirrely attic "squatters" were trapped ( humanely ) and completely evicted and unable to return.. I believe it was Drew who did the final repair and seal of the entry point and there's even a warranty for extra security.. they were all very kind, friendly and…

The tech had great communication throughout the process. And while not a requirement, I love that the tech was able to do a catch and release instead of killing the bat.

Customers frequently praise the company for knowledgeable technicians, thorough explanations, and prompt scheduling for wildlife removal and sealing services. Recurring themes include friendly communication and efficient handling of squirrel, bat, and raccoon issues. However, low-star reviews highlight concerns about high inspection fees, uncompleted repairs, and a lack of follow-up on trapping or sealing jobs.

I called Plunkett"s because I had red squirrel/squirrels that had invaded my garage and were doing extensive damage. The
Technician, Bryan Harvey, was very thorough and very familiar with the wild life. He set up multiple traps and He has caught several squirrels as he planned to after checking on the traps on a daily basis. I am very satisfied that he is doing a competent job and that my garage will be squirrel free and the entry will be excluded properly per his proposal. They also guarantee their work which is another plus. I don't think you can go wrong calling Plunkett's.
