GREAT ! We have a one story brick ranch with wood trim. We have had squirrel problems over the years (chewing awning , nesting, chewing wood trim, etc. This year it became crazy ! Gray squirrels ruined our awning chewing through the canvas and trying to make a nest. We tried using wasp spray and even Pepper spray but they would still come back. They started to attack the crown molding board of our trim in several places … then overnight they chewed a BASEBALL size hole through it, which led into our attic. The morning we discovered it I did a makeshift repair with wood and a piece of vinyl siding over it and checked the attic… no signs. The next day we came out and found they had chewed on the vinyl repair ! We called Varmint Gone (Matthews) and Lisa was so friendly and calming. She scheduled us an appointment within a day …March 16th. Keith Lange came out and spent about 2 hours explaining our problem (squirrels are territorial ) inspecting our attic for wiring damage, nests, etc. and what they could do. 1- “seal ” all points of possible entry with galvanized steel and steel mesh which included gable vents, gutter and trim gaps, etc. 2-solid thin steel to prevent access under roof edge and where needed (trim board) 3- hardening foam around all ridge vents. Plus Sanitize and deodorize ( with a natural cleaner / repellant ) in attic! Also , A 5 YEAR WARRANTY ON ALL REPAIRS AND CONSTRUCTION EXCLUSION FOR SPECIFIC ANIMAL….We signed the contract ! Ron Quesenberry would do our job. Ron started on the 19th and it took him about 2 1/2 days to complete . Ron was on time , professional, and meticulous ! We have gutters on all four sides of our house and Ron carefully fit the special steel flashing all around ! He cut steel sheets to protect the wood joints, steel mesh to fit our round / triangle gable vents and used special screws (not nails) to hold everything in ! Ron takes great pride in his work and it showed. After all the protective work was done Ron also replaced the crown molding and primed and painted all wood , steel and mesh. Ron is so meticulous you cannot see the repairs and the wood matches the original . Ron is “Squirrel Dundee” (even the same hat I think ) ! He took time to answer all our questions and was very friendly. Ron also showed me what problems to watch for in the attic (not that he expected any ),when he fluffed our insulation and did the sanitizing. HOWEVER … Ron said he has never had to redo a job in 15 years ! Everyone at Varmint Gone was great ! They take pride in their profession and are certified wildlife biologists and removal specialists. We have not had one squirrel on our house since you left ….today is April 6th ! They have given us piece of mind back ! A final point… they try to let the squirrels leave on their own if they are inside through an “exclusion” trap where the exit but can’t get back in.
