We had rats living and nesting in our attic for a few months. We attempted to try and remove the problem ourselves but were unsuccessful. We decided to go with Bryan since he provided us with great information during our initial call and we felt confident that he knew just what to do to help us.We had rats living and nesting in our attic for a few months.

Living in an older, wood frame, elevated house, rats have been helping themselves to the place on and off for years. I have in the past hired people to deal with this issue, and have had no real solution--but did spend real money! Nuisance Wildlife (which is Bryan Cleveland) was the first time someone gave me a complete idea of the extent of the work needed and was willing to do it. He dug out around my house roughly 75 linear feet for a foot or so down and placed concrete board as a barrier rats couldn't chew through. He painted the board to match the exterior of the building. He also replaced foam insulation --left by another pest control company-- with sheet metal in various places, including soffits and roof vents. Along with this work, he set traps under and around the house for a period of weeks, being careful to secure them from my outdoor cat (which was very thoughtful and very much appreciated!). This phase of the work began in mid-August and took about 2 weeks. When it was finished, Bryan gave me a 6 month warranty. Work at my house continued off and on for a couple of months since the rats kept finding yet another way in. He responded promptly whenever I called and took care of each instance efficiently and professionally. At this time, in early November, I think the problem is solved. For the first time in years, there are no noises in the walls. Thank You!
Description of Work: I hired Nuisance Wildlife to trap, remove, and prevent further problems with rats at my home. Bryan assessed the situation and planned out what needed to be done. I was given an estimate that day, and he explained the materials to be used, and the amount of time the job would take.

The job was done as Bryan had promised and he was at our house to check the traps daily.
Description of Work: Bryan removed the rats and sealed up all 10 problem areas in my house. He is polite, professional and punctual. Bryan tells you how he is going to resolve the problem and calls and shows up when he says he will be there. I wish I could find other professionals with the same care and dedication for their work.

Bryan was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He did exactly what he said he was going to do to remove her. He sealed up the area to prevent her from returning and even painted the sheet metal to match the house colors. He completed the job on time and above my expectations. I would have no problem recommending Bryan to work at my Mother's house.In addition to the good job he did with the raccoon, Bryan noticed some rat activity while he was up there and went out of his way to make a return trip on his own time, after I paid him, to install some exclusion pieces to stop that problem. Really, who does that kind of service anymore? Thank you Bryan for a great job and thank you also to everyone that wrote a review on Bryan because ts the reason I chose him for the job.
Description of Work: Bryan Cleveland is exactly the reason I paid to join Angie's List. After a very unsatisfactory experience with a local trapper, I joined AL and called Bryan to remove a raccoon and her babies from my attic.

Based on the reviews here I called Brian. He is very knowledgeable on rodent removal. He went all around my house and on the roof and found the areas where the rats were entering. He explained how over the course of two weeks he would get rid of the rats. He made several visits setting traps and covered all the openings with sheet metal. I have a lot of confidence that the job was done right. He also gives a 6 month warranty.

I had what I suspected were squirrels in my attic. Bryan met me, on time, during my lunch break. He did an extensive search of my attic and confirmed that it was squirrels. He gave me a quote and started trapping the next day. He is very concerned about making sure that the squirrels do not suffer. He put a shade over the trap so that the squirrels would not have heat stroke. The squirrels are released far away, not killed. After ensuring that all the resident squirrels were trapped Bryan did an excellent job of sealing any openings that the squirrels could enter my attic through. I haven't had any problems since. Highly recommended.

I found it very professional and very punctual and he got the job done. He knew what he was doing anything were to look to fix the problem. He and he professional on every level. I was very pleased with his job, and he succeeded in eliminating the problem. I don't know where he stood price-wise because I did not get other estimates. I have a bigger house than most people, the and price could be a little more than it would cost for an average house.
Description of Work: I had a rat situation in my attic and he was able to eliminate the problem by catching them and finding out how they were getting into our house. He was able to patch up the area and it was a process that took a new weeks. He did the job successfully, and we have not had a rodent problem since.

We have had rats in our attic on and off for many, many years. We have hired many companies to get rid of them and seal up the entry points. In May, a rat died in the attic and the odor was horrific! After consulting Angies List, I contacted Brian Cleveland, who came out immediately to remove the animal and check out our attic. He found 16 openings in our attic. He set several traps and began to seal the openings with sheet metal. For 2 weeks, he daily checked the traps and systemically and completely eradicated the problem. He's very knowledgeable, thorough, humane and professional in every way.
Description of Work: Brian removed the dead rat and boarded up entry points in our attic. He was the first person to seal the openings with sheet metal.

After Bryan came out for the estimate, I called him with the go ahead to do the work. He ordered the bird spikes and came within the week. The first day afer installation I noticed a one foot section had come loose, probably from a large bird landing on it, before the glue had dried. I called Bryan and he came the next day to reset it. So far so good.
Description of Work: I had 48 feet of bird spikes installed on the top of my boat lift. The larger birds would make a mess and clog up the pulley mechanism. Bryan came out for a free estimate and we decided I needed two rows of spikes on each beam.

We had a problem with squirrel in our attic. Ultimately this was due to needed roof repairs. Bryan trapped multiple squirrels humanely, even did some roof repair himself to deter the little buggers, and recommended Angies list for "official" roof repair. He was timely, professional, courteous and an expert in this field. He did an outstanding job and continued to return until the squirrel problem was no longer an issue and the roof had been repaired. Thanks Bryan!!!

Although some work had to be done outside the house and was thus subject to weather, Bryan was always punctual and reliable as well as personally pleasant and professional. It is too early for me to yet feel 100 percent confident the problem is solved definitively, but Bryan gives a 6-month guarantee on his work. I wouldn't hesitate to use his company again or recommend it to friends.
Description of Work: Hearing noises in my attic crawl space for a few days, I called Nuisance Wildlife Trappers. Bryan came out the next morning and thorougly examined the area as well as the outside of the house. He diagnosed what type of animals had been there and how they got in. He sealed off all openings and laid traps for the animals, then came out several days in a row to check on the traps before finally pronouncing the crawl space free from animals.

I was extremely satisfied with the work and would use him again if needed.
Description of Work: Bryan trapped and removed rats that had entered my attic from the roof of my house. He was very good in all areas of the job.First of all,he called me right back when I left a message about my problem. Then he was able to get right over to assess the situation,spelled out the plan and provided me with an estimate.And best of all he was able to start right away! Not only did he remove the rats but he also secured and repaired and painted the points of entrance the rats had used! I am very satisfied with his work.He provides a 6 month guarantee on his work. I did have to get some major tree work done to discourage the pests from easy access since I had a huge ficus tree that had grown over my roof as well as a rubber tree next door that had grown onto my property.Apparently rats like hibiscus trees too and I have two huge ones next to my house that were trimmed.Hopefully this will be the end of the "rat saga" here

He was very thorough and made sure that we were completely satisfied. You could tell that he had had tons of experience. We didn’t have to pay him for his second visit because he offers what I believe is a 12-month guarantee. He is a super nice guy and we are very pleased with him. I would rate him highly and would use him in the future.
Description of Work: We had a problem with noises in our attic, and the owner of Nuisance Wildlife Trappers, Brian Cleveland, came and did a thorough inspection of our attic and the outside of our house. He told us what he thought was happening - that a mother squirrel was getting in with her babies. He safely lowered the mother out and removed the babies, and patched up the places where they were getting in. A couple of weeks later, we heard noises again. He came back and found a couple of additional holes and sealed them up.

The only request I would have of Brian is that he make sure that he comes when he says he would. Most of the time he did, but occasionally not. Also, I appreciate a call before hand to make sure I’m dressed, etc. In spite of these flaws, I’d call him again in a minute. He is knowledgeable, determined, very professional and pleasant.
Description of Work: If you have a problem with rats, this is your man. We signed a six month contract with Brian last April because we heard rats in our attic. It was a tough job. Rats are smart. Brian came out numerous times to set and clear traps and to seal off any places outside the house where they might be getting in. He nailed metal sheeting where necessary. Still, they came. We thought we had an intractable problem. We removed our bird feeders, and still they came. We were getting a bit frustrated when one day Brian was showing us signs of rat activity around our house. He noticed one tiny space where the soffit was coming away from the house. The signs of rats were there as well. Bingo! Brian nailed that close, and noticed that the rats had popped the ridge vent open on the roof since he was here last. He sealed that closed, and made sure they could not get in. Finally, peace. We sleep without the noisy partying of critters above. We had one in our attached garage after all that, and Brian came out and put a plate over the space under the garage door where they were getting in, set traps, and gone! The relief is wonderful.

On Friday evening, with a horrible stench coming from beneath my house, I called Bryan of Nuisance Wildlife Trappers to schedule a time for him to come over, assuming the earliest would be the next day. He came about two hours later. By this time it was dark, so he shined his flashlight on the rotting possum about 20 feet in. Hundreds of large roaches and maggots and who knows what else were having a feast. I gave him a can of Raid to stave off the roaches and he crawled under my house. He collected the animal in a bag, brought it out, then went back in and scoped up the dirt and hair left behind, then sprayed Lysol all over the area. Worth every penny!
