They went around the entire perimeter of my home and closed the construction gap at the roof line with steel screen. Replaced and reinforced the roof vents ( plastic roof vents had been a major entry point for the squirrels). Also installed the expanded metal gutter screens to further exclude rodents and keep out leaves. Gable vents were also covered with metal screen. All done very neatly and professionally.
Description of Work: Not sure if both the ABG listings are the same person but my contact was based in Bethlehem, GA so I will place it here. My first experience with ABG was in 2006 when they did a squirrel removal / exclusion for my home in Bogart, GA. My experience then was excellent and there were no more problems with animals until I sold the house in 2011. When I bought my current home in Winder, GA, squirrels again! This time the homeowner had let the problem go on for several years and there were chewed entry spots all around the house. ABG did their exclusion work same as before and there have been no more visitors in the attic as of Thanksgiving. It's hard to find a company today with consistently good service, much less considering a 5 year span in between. Excellent.

Several years ago I had a problem with rats in my attic. Animals B Gone came out at that time and sealed my house up. I did not have a problem with rats after that point and I was very pleased with their work. Their latest visit occurred because a rat slipped in through the gap under my front door. I had Animals B Gone come out to check that none of the areas they had sealed up earlier had been breached. They came out promptly and were very professional. They examined the whole house and gave me advice on how to discourage rats. All the areas they had worked on previously were secure. The price was under $100 for their visit because I mentioned an internet special.
Description of Work: Examined house for areas where rats could get in. Looked over previous areas that had been sealed to determine whether they had been damaged or not. Set traps in case a rat was trapped in the crawl space. Provided advice on how to keep rats out of the house.

They arrived as promised, had a fair price, and completed the work in a professional way. They answered my questions and when I suggested something that they did not agree with they convinced me to give their way a chance and time has proven them correct. I would definitely use them again.

They were very professional and sealed the house totally. I could not believe the number of places that animals can get into the house. In the three and a half years since they completed the work, I have had no recurrence of squirrels in the attic.
Description of Work: They blocked every conceivable entry into the house and garage, including screening and flashing at all gutters (300 ft.) and vents.

The gutter guys were very good and done in a day complete with the gutter guards. I give them only an A- on Quality because even though they were fast and did a LOT of extras, they forgot to do a downspout test. Therefore, I had to replace some rusted out downspout during a really bad rainstorm. My price included a bunch of sofit work and wider and better gutters. They even replaced and repainted some interior dry wall that the water sloshing over the old gutters had ruined.I would use these folks again in a heartbeat. I know my price may seem a little low, but I have a pretty straighforward roofline and a house about 2,000 sq. Your price will vary a lot based on your roofline and size of home.
Description of Work: I had Sean and his team replace my gutters and remove a wasp nest the size of your head.

They were wonderful! We had some type of animal in our attic and he also found that we had rats in the garage. They set out traps and came back a few days later to check them. They also put out some type of poison but I was still able to let my dogs outside. I was hearing little animals in between floors but Animal B Gone got rid of them all. They closed up all of the little holes that we had all over our house. We have a 3 story house and they fixed everything. We also had wood peckers pecking holes around our chimney so they fixed that by adding flashing around the chimney. It worked because the wood peckers have not been back since. They were so thorough! I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: We had used them for animal removal.

He sent out one of his helpers that could not communicate with me, had him climb up to the side of the house and paint a spot where the squirrels were chewing as if that would solve the squirrel problem. He denied that the holes in the side of the house were made by squirrels. However, the holes only recently got there after we heard the squirrel gnawing at the side of the house. This situation arose when the weather starting getting cold. I am so disappointed in this company.
Description of Work: Kenneth Boone was all kindness and sweetness until he got my money. Once he got our money he did not do the work he said he was going to do. He lead me to believe he could and would do anything and everything. I then had a small problem and wanted his advice. He started out by asking me if I wanted the good news or the bad news first. I just wanted some professional advice. So he then would not listen to the problem but kept running his mouth giving me a load of crap. He just wouldn't listen or let me explain the situation about what was going on. He then said without knowing the exact nature of the situation, that the problem was not covered by my contract.

Response from Animals B Gone
Members, my name is Ken Boone, the owner of Animals B Gone, and the person you refer to in your review. I handled your job personally and frankly, your review was a stunning surprise based on my recollection of the original work and our several (5) follow-up visits. Please correct any discrepancies in my account of the engagement bellow: As I recall you initially contacted us after previously hiring 3 other companies who were not able to solve the problem with flying and gray squirrels getting into your attic. Within 15 minutes of the inspection, I identified and showed you the areas where the flying and/or gray squirrels either could currently enter the attic or with little effort, have the leverage to chew new entry points in, and proceeded to provide you an itemized proposal. As I recall you actually made a comment about the price being cheaper than what you paid the previous 3 companies who never solved the problem. During the inspection, I recall pointing out areas where squirrels had already scraped off the paint (biologist believe they’re attracted to the salt and minerals in the paint, and they often chew and mark an area they’re nesting as territorial behavior, warning other squirrels to keep away). I was asked if there was any way to keep the squirrels from still being able to continue that type of damage after we complete the proposed exclusion. I then proceeded to further explain the goal of the exclusion work we were recommending was to keep the targeted animal(s) from getting inside your home where (in the case of squirrels) they typically will do the most damage (flattening and marking up insulation and chewing electric wires). I explained that when gray and flying squirrels are involved, we would install a controller system (one way tunnel) over the area they’re most likely actively using to gain entry, and after sealing the rest of the structure, allow time for the squirrels to safely exit. We use this technique because the squirrel who was just evicted from its nest will be the most motivated and tenacious in its efforts to find way back in, quickly testing our exclusion. Companies who will try and trap / relocate the squirrels know this and will rather try to remove and not have to deal with that squirrel… knowing very well that because of the rapid heart rate and stress hormone levels of the squirrels, they generally die from the stress of being captured once release. I also explaining that the home was in an extremely squirrel friendly environment (heavily wooded area providing access and cover, along with many nut producing trees providing the food source), and that the squirrels would continue to have access to the outside of the structure, potentially still able to damage some wood / paint in areas where we do not install exclusion, but we guarantee they will not be able to enter the structure through our exclusion work. Obviously we cannot place metal over all areas where the squirrels could still chew the wood or scrape the paint. This was all explained to you and your wife at the time of the inspection. Short of replacing the siding with hardi-plank, the only other way to limit the damage would be to attempt to trap and relocate the one or two squirrels who are doing the damage. However in an environment where there are probably a hundred squirrels active within 500 ft of the home, live trapping would not be feasible. This point was also clearly made at that time. 2 days later, after your approval, I personally came to project manage the exclusion at your home. As we often do with our clients, to demonstrate our appreciation for trusting us with your home, I offered to do several repairs unrelated to the squirrels and our exclusion, free of charge. They included, cleaning the gutters inside and out by hand, removing large branches that were hanging over the house that were sure to fall in the near future, these among other things. After the job was completed and the controller was removed, you called to report hearing noises in a bedroom wall. I came out on the same day and upon re-inspecting this bedroom wall which lines up along the external side of the home (versus an internal wall). I explained that my conclusion that there was no way into that wall from the outside and that the noises were most likely from the squirrels climbing up and down the side of the house. We could actually see scratch marks on the exterior of this wall where they have been climbing from. No other areas were found where squirrels had gotten back in (I did not invoice for this trip by the way). You called again two days later, adamant about the squirrels being in the wall. I came back out again, this time pulling off the baseboard off the wall (to reduce damage to the wall) and put a cameral in the wall. As I had suspected, we found a closed cavity , closed on the top with a header to support roof, and closed off from the bottom by a footer (used to anchor the wall to the floor). What I did find in the wall were american cockroaches that were eating the insulation paper. Even after demonstrating this and our lack of ability to obtain any evidence of the squirrels inside the structure, I still put down tracking powder and set a trap in the wall to prove to you the lack of any physicial squirrel activity inside the structure… returning two days later to check the traps and tracking powder, still found no signs of anything other than the roaches in that wall. As a courtesy I helped spry the interior wall with a cypermentherine to solution to kill the roaches, then replaced the base board, caulking it back in to limit the visible damage to the area we cut into. Again, I did not charge you anything for these two subsequent trips. One month later you called again and wanted us back out there because the squirrels were on your roof and you had seen them gnawing on the siding again, expressing concerns that they were going to get back in. We again came back out and found that the squirrels had not found a way to get back into the home, but were in fact chewing the siding. I explained again that unless you were prepared to spend a significant amount of money to start live trapping squirrels which I would not be able to guarantee would be successful in catching THE specific squirrel(s) actively causing the damage. The high live trapping price is due in part to being required by law to check the live traps daily. After seeing that you were upset and obviously did not like that answer, I again reminded you of the fact that you hired our company to keep the squirrels from getting inside your house / attic, not to keep them off the outside of the structure. Again no invoice was generated for this visit. You again call a couple of weeks later, expressing that this time you were absolutely sure the squirrels have gotten back in. Having now been back several times without being able to collect any evidence that the squirrels had actually gotten back in, I explained that if we came back out and found no evidence again, we would have no option by to invoice you for a trip fee. Our warranty terms clearly gives us the right to charge a trip fee if we find no evidence of re-entry, which we are extremely lenient in enforcing each time, but with gas at $3.50 per gallon, we are limited as to how many times we can return for free without finding any issues. I clarified that if we did find any problems with our work and the squirrels did get back in this time, there would be no fee. You immediately expressed your anger about the possibility of having to pay this fee, saying something similar to what you wrote in your review… something like "oh I see how you are...you have my money now....etc, etc" I tried to explain that having been paid already had nothing to with it.. making the point that if my goal was to take the money and run, why would I even answer his calls? Still obviously not satisfied, I explained that I did have one of my top employees in your area and since he’s already nearby, I could have him come by and check things out again at no charge. I did warn you that this employee’s English was not that great but he has years of hand on experience and extremely qualified to determine IF there is an issue. Once again, we found the squirrels had not gotten back in, and documented that the areas chewed were just on the outside surface. Only as a courtesy, I instructed my employee to paint those damaged areas (on the front of the house). These were in fact damages to the surface only, not actual holes. These were not “holes on the roof” as you said in your review… in fact, it would be rather difficult to paint a hole. I understand your frustration with the squirrels damaging the outside of the home trying to get back in. We simply cannot protect all areas of your home against possible damage from squirrels, again our focus is to identify and reinforce those areas where the squirrels would have leverage to actually chew all the way through and into your home. If we were required to cover any little damage your home might sustain from the animals trying to get back in, the price of the original exclusion work would have to be significantly hire to cover our potential costs. Please let me know what part of our policy you feel is unreasonable and what exactly you would like us to do to make you happy. Looking forward to your response.

In 2008, I had Sean from Animals-B-Gone do an inspection in my attic because if had heard footsteps over my bedroom. He came and found signs of roof rats. His team came and enclosed all opennings and covered vents, set traps and did the cleanup of the attic insulation. The company also arranged for me to have insulation added to the attic after the cleanup was done. Sean came back several times to check the traps and he always put on booties over his shoes when entering my house. Sean and his crew were extremely professional and completed the work without any problems. He also met with the neighbors in the other units attached to mine and they each hired Sean and his crew to do the same so that we could be assured of success. Early in 2009, shortly after I bought a different home, I hired Animals-B-Gone again to enclose the attic and foundation on my new home and add mesh to my gutters. I highly recommend Animals-B-Gone to anyone that is looking for a company to help them rid their home of uninvited guests.
Description of Work: Enclosing all opennings to my attic and around my foundation. This included heavy-duty mesh over vents, sealing roof flashing around pipe vents and using metal and sealant to cover holes. Cleanup from animals being in my attic. Adding insulation to the attic. Installed mesh guards to all my gutters.

I absolutely couldn't be happier. I had a discussion with the owner regarding chipmunks, if they were destructive, and if I wanted to exterminate them. I didn't want to kill the poor things, and either did he. He, not only demonstrated how to place the screening and the calk, but left me screens and calk to use. What a fabulous experience, especially how he didn't want to kill the animals, but just keep them from being a nuisance. I would call him back if there are any further issues.
Description of Work: We noticed chipmunks running into our garage via a spot where our air conditioner pipe went into our house. I also noticed holes in the ground in the area where we had two tree stumps. The owner of the company came to the house the day after I called. All I can say, is what a wonderful guy he was. He explained that chipmunks don't make homes in the house, as rats do. They just go after any food, birdseed, etc. that is in the house. He checked out the holes in the ground, and the opening near the air conditioner. He actually blocked the entrance into our garage with a screen and some calking. He didn't charge me a cent, and even left me some Dap and screen to use in the holes near the house.

Matt came out on the same day I called - July 4th. I was not expecting a response so quick - I had called because a problem had become nearly a crisis situation with more giant wasps and bees swarming around my porch than I could count - and I wanted someone to call me back first thing Tuesday. Instead, to my surprise, Matt called back that same day, came out that afternoon, killed all the wasps I had originally called about, as well as identifying that I had a carpenter bee problem that I did not know about and taking care of those as well. He stayed long enough to make sure he had killed every insect we could identify (over an hour!). I've had problems with them coming back - but I don't think that was at all Animals B Gone's fault - these wasps have proven notoriously resistent to pesticides in my experience and most other companies I have contacted have refused to deal with them at all. Matt came back out, killed the ones that had returned, and gave me some pointers on how to convince them to go play somewhere else. I'm still working on that - I still see them flying around, but I am not seeing them hang out in my yard as much as they used to, so I am hopefuly this means they've given up and gone somewhere else. If not, though, I know I can call Matt back and he will come back out for us to try something else. He definitely knows his stuff! After dealing with these nasties for YEARS, I finally found someone willing to help me get rid of them!
Description of Work: Matt from Animal B Gone came out, killed all the wasps he could find, identified a carpenter bee problem and killed those too. He has come out once since for a touch up since the wasps started coming back.

It was clear from the first visit, when they were providing an estimate of the cost of service, that this company knew what they were doing. They prepared a very detailed and professional estimate, complete with photos of the damage. I was very impressed with how thorough they were in completing the work, to include re-painting surfaces that they had to modify (i.e. re-painted wood siding to match the house), all without our asking them to do so. Most importantly, when it was clear that it was going to take lots of follow-up to really get rid of the rats, the ABG supervisor was wonderful about following up with us and continuing to dispatch help to our house. I am now happy to say that we have not heard or seen evidence of a rat in months!!
Description of Work: We have an older home with wood siding and had a significant issue with rodents. We'd spent $1100 several years back with another company without sustained results. So I was concerned we'd never get this issue resolved.

Very professional and detailed. Will continue to use their services. Examined the entire premises, created a detailed inspection report with pictures showing possible entrances for critters and included what they would do to fix it. Animals B'Gone sealed any possible points of entry found. They were punctual and knowledgeable about the devious minds of rats and the rats' determination to set up residence in your home--inviting all their relatives and friends--this critter party has now ended and they will need to subsist by other means. The whole process of exclusion was complete in a day.

Description of Work: I phoned the company to ask about mole removal from our back yard. The nicest man spoke with me by phone, and explained how to rid our yard of moles without his help. Seldom does such a courteous professional answer the phone, and spend a long time explaining why I do NOT need his services. In future, should such services be needed, I will know where to call!

From start to finish, the work was without a hitch. Communication was excellent. Phone calls were returned immediately. The crew even cleaned up the basement after we were free of rodents, which meant they had to come back day after day to check traps and finally remove debris.
Description of Work: Sean came to my home within one hour of calling him. I had been in denial that we had rodents in the attic, etc.. and finally it came time to call in professionals. After a thorough walk thru and noting each and every place where a rodent could enter the house, Sean promised to write up an estimate and send via email. The next day, I had received an estimate complete with pictures of entry areas and evidence of rodents in the attic. The next 4 days, his crew worked very hard an average of 7-8 hours a day. This company is amazing. Many months later, we are without the "Baker's Dozen" of rodents, and I have recommended this company to friends and family.

After noticing evidence of rodent activity in our attic, I called Animals B Gone and a few of their competitors to evaluate the problem and provide a plan for corrective action. From my initial telephone inquiry to the inspection and consultation, we noticed a superior level of professionalism from this company. During the inspection, Sean Caruso thoroughly examined both the exterior and interior of our house looking for evidence and method of entry. He documented his finding in a report complete with photographs, comprehensive description of the problem, recommended services and a detailed price estimate. While Animals B Gone was actually the most expensive of the estimates we received, their program was the most comprehensive and we trusted their professionalism and expertise. We were not disappointed! The thoroughness and attention to detail that Sean Caruso showed during his initial visit continued through the exclusion work and follow-up. Sean was consistently focused, considerate and patient. He always removed his shoes, carrying them through our home, he used his sleeve to open doors or asked us to open them. On the one occasion he borrowed our flashlight, he took it to his truck to disinfect it before returning it to us. When no animals were trapped, Sean continued to check for activity - leaving markers to indicate such. Although nothing was ever caught, we are confident that our problem was solved. Similarly, if a problem develops in the future, we completely trust Sean and Animals B Gone to resolve it. Although discovering evidence of rodent activity in our attic was one of the most unpleasant aspects of home ownership we have experienced, it has been a pleasure to work with Sean and his firm, Animals B Gone.

It went great. There were about 6 or 7 men at our house the first day and they did most of the job that day. We had one missed appointment and they deducted money off of our total bill at the end. Everything went great and we would definitely use this company again. They were very courteous and professional and we thought the price was more than fair for all the work we had done.

Sean Caruso came to the house and inspected the attic and all potential points of entry. He documented all potential points of entry with photos and used them to supplement the estimate for sealing up our home and removing any rats. They performed the majority of the sealing work in one day with a crew of 5 people and left traps in the attic which they checked on two additional occasions. The whole experience was made more painless by Sean's attention to detail and his professional crew. They walked the outside of our property at least 3 times before leaving picking up any fasteners or building materials left behind. It was cleaner outside after they left than it was when they started the job.
Description of Work: We noticed evidence of rodent activity in our attic right around the holidays and asked Animals B Gone to come out to the house to assess the problem and make recommendations.

They came and sealed my house and decontaminated my attic. They did an excellent job. There were some follow up things I needed done and they did just perfect. It's a process so it took them a couple of days to do the work. Then they had to leave and make sure they trapped all the rats out before they could install insulation. Then they made an attic cover, they came back and installed that - they had to special order it. Everything they did was very timely and responsive. They were very responsive. The supervisor over the project was very hands on. There was actually a crew member that was in charge the day they were filling the house and they were very responsive to me. Then the project supervisor came and followed up with them while they were still there. You also didn't have to beg them to do every little thing, they actually did things that were above and beyond which I thought was helpful. My neighbor had a similar thing done and the price was comparable. I think Animals B Gone did more work for about the same price. I was impressed with how they finished everything off and didn't leave anything tacky. The house looked better when they left than when they got there. I also got a warranty for the life of the house that is transferable with the house for a $125 fee.
Description of Work: I used Animals B Gone for a roof rat infestation.

Got brom handle under the couch and the squirrel ran out and found the den door which my wife opened. At 12:30 the squirrel went out the door. Total time from call to exit -- 15 minutes. GREAT SERVICE!!! Cost - no charge.
Description of Work: Called at noon. He said he would not be able to get to my house today. Told him that I had a squirrel in the living area of my house, had closed all inside doors, opened outside kitchen door and living room windows. He said I had done what I needed to do. He told me to use a broom handle to get under the couch and chairs to get the squirrel out. Then be very quiet. The squirrel will find the door or window.

Wow did these guys do a good job. Very consienctious and thorough. They went above and beyond - spending several extra hours fixing things we didn't even know were wrong. I'd hire them again in a minute.
Description of Work: We've been invaded by rats for the 3rd time in 2 years. Our previous vendor was the master of the band aid and these guys were the first ones to study the entire house to look for possible entry points for critters as well as fixing the current issue. They sealed off the area in question as well as several other areas around the house that were vulnerable.

The work went extremely well. George was supervising at least one other job in the area so he was in and out. But the crew worked diligently whether he was here or away. They were polite and concerned not to inconvenience us. When I paid him at the end of the day I also gave him a personal check as a tip to the crew. While I never thought he would do anything but the right thing with it, I was please when I walked outside shortly after as the team was cleaning up only to have several workers make a specific effort to thank me for the tip. Subsequently George himself has been back three times to check the traps they left and to remove the results. We are apparently free of a problem that has "bugged" us for perhaps six months. The guarantee is lifetime and transferable - and I fully intend to make potential buyers aware of how lucky they are to have this guarantee. I will recommend ABG without reservation. It's unbelievably nice to feel we are no longer sharing out house with uninvited guests.
Description of Work: ABG performed an extensive examination of the property and the issue. We had a seeming never-ending battle with rats, partly from living on a lake. George came the same afternoon I contacted the company, gave us a thorough examination (that was on a Thursday) which we accepted. It was significantly lower than the only other competing bid we had obtained. He and his team came back on Saturday to perform the work. (The other company suggested early the next week.) They took gutter covers off all gutters (a difficult house that is 3-4 stories tall in the back as the property slopes toward the lake), put steel mesh between the gutters and roof line, reinstalled the covers, and cleaned everywhere. They literally 409'd all the gutters! They also plugged any existing holes, often with steel mesh. They added flashing along the back of the house where the siding was not flush with the house. And they reinforced roof vents and other potential entry points. The goal was to completely seal the house so that rats-in-residence could not exit and hence be trapped, and new ones could not take their place.

I called Animals B Gone after I read a few good reviews on Kudzu.com (before I was an Angie's List member) about a huge rat problem we were having in the basement. We were purchasing the house from my family and we knew there had been a rat problem for years that was not under control. Matt came out the next day and walked through the house with me. He was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable that they would get the job done. Later that day he sent me an extensive quote with a report explaining all that was discovered in the house and what they would do about it. It was very informative and I definitely felt comfortable that they would not only get rid of the rats but that they would come back if there was any other problems. The crew of guys came out and worked all day in the heat sealing up every nook & cranny of the house. When they were finished Matt walked around with me and showed me exactly what they had sealed up. They also left some traps out for any critters that might still be in the house. Matt showed me where the traps were and he came back several times to check them (considering how many we expected - only one was trapped after the house was sealed up). We have not had any further problems and I felt like Matt and their crew did a fantastic job! I would absolutely refer them to anyone looking to get rid of their pest problem for good.
Description of Work: The entire house was sealed up and a couple of dead rats were removed. The gable vents were sealed & painted. The soffit corners were flashed & painted. The PVC pipe boots were flashed. The roofline was sealed with galvanized wire & the gutter system was cleaned. Any other areas that had openings for pests to get in to were sealed - such as an opening in the garage door, in the foundation, chimney, crawl space, etc. Traps were set for any future pests and they were checked several times within the next month or so.
