Jill answered our call and concerns with a mouse problem. She inspected the inside and outside and came up with a solution. She found 2 entry points and ordered a thick heaven duty strip across the bottom of the inside garage door to keep the mice out.Then used steel wool & styrofoam along the baseboard that leads into the Rec room, completely sealing it off from the garage. Set bait traps around the exterior perimeter and found out which side had the most activity. Used steel wool again to seal off the access point. It’s been over 3 months now with no issues. .

Jill did a great job of safely removing a litter of raccoon babies and sending the mom on her way after she had done some damage to the roof. Jill did in 24 hours what another company couldn't get done in 4 weeks. This is a great company I would highly recommend.
