"Kevin was amazing who came out and did the work 5 stars to him. Unfortunately the birds still came back on one section, rather than saying the company directed him to use the incorrect material, when I raised the concern they are asking for more $$$ to fix what should have resolved in the first instance.

Unlike other pest control companies we don’t just treat the immediate structure of your home. We treat the surrounding areas including your landscape throughout the year for maximum results. Experience, knowledge, and dedication is a powerful combination in any business. When Corky started his company back in 1967 he was one of the only pest control companies in town. For the last 50 years he has had the pleasure of servicing Southern California and making it his passion to not only study the uniqueness of our climate and terrain but he has also become a well known author of the industry.
"Termite Fumigation Disaster using Corky’s Pest Control. Our neighbor and I employed Corky’s Pest Control to fumigate our attached homes. We were left with over 220 broken roof tiles and a repair cost that exceeded $4,000. That was more than the cost of the fumigation. Our HOA property manager expressed that this was an exceedingly high number of broken tiles for our community. As you can guess, I cannot recommend using Corky’s Pest Control."

Hi! Here at Brooks Pest Control, we specialize in taking care of ants, spiders, cockroaches, mosquitos, fleas, ticks, millipedes, centipedes, silverfish, pincher bugs, mice, rats etc. Unfortunately, we do not handle issues related to termites, bed bugs, honeybees, wood-boring organisms, snakes, raccoons, possums and other non-bug creatures.
"This company has young kids coming up to my door late at night and ask a lot of probing questions. I’ve had about 4 individuals who work for Brooks Pest Control service come up my driveway and won’t take no for an answer. When I tell them I’m already set up with a pest service, it causes for another flood of questions. Knocking at my door past 8:30 at night is a no for me. They don’t use my ring camera to ring the bell, instead bang loudly on my door. Lastly, unprofessional, no etiquette. The individuals are passive aggressive when I tell them no thank you. Overall, the first impression I have is that this company just wants to sell sell sell. I’m a loyal customer to another service due to their quality and interpersonal skills. And they don’t come banging on my door at 8:45 then give me a hard time for declining them repeatedly after a 5 min of Q&A."

Animal removal services FAQs
DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself.
Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away.
Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems.
Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.
Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
