"Joe came out to give me a quote on sealing our attic and was very professional. I asked if they were capable of handling any necessary roof repair themselves and he responded affirmatively. I stated I planned to have a roofer out, would compare quotes and my confidence in their ability to find & seal any problem areas, and would let him know my decision either way. The roofer I chose was confident he could seal the attic, but wished to replace an entire eave (the end of which was damaged). I disagreed with this decision - I thought the damaged end could be patched (I believe this was Joe's intention as well). He also noticed two damaged shingles (unrelated). The eave issue plus Joe's specialization with this work specifically gave me more confidence, so I re-contacted him inquiring if they could also fix the shingles. Joe never responded. Two weeks later, I emailed the company through their web portal asking for a reply. Jason replied accusing me of "asking [my] roofer to do unlicensed Wildlife Damage Control work" (false), claiming the roofer refused (false), and asking The Bat Men to do "unregistered roofing work" (LOL, if replacing two shingles is categorically different than adding flashing, you could've just told me you're not licensed). Then he accused me of doing this, "all under the intention of making it more convenient for you." Oh, the nerve of me, seeking convenience! Jason refused to service me as a customer and I responded that his factual inaccuracies and combative tone (if he thought I was planning to do something wrong, why wouldn't he have tried to educate me?) would be noted in a public review."

Since our inception in 1999 Aardvark Moving revolutionized the moving industry by introducing something no one else could offer: a guaranteed, all-inclusive, one-price move.
"Used this company about a year ago. Their movers were late and broke furniture. Not only did the movers break furniture, they did not even tell us they broke furniture. It was left in pieces in several rooms. They broke a bookshelf, dresser, a couple tables, and scratched other pieces of antique furniture. The operations manager said he would make it good, all the while sticking up for the movers. He said they normally do not work like that and that some furniture gets broken while moving. I get that some furniture may be broken while moving, but not several pieces and the movers could have informed us. It took them over four hours to move because of messing around and not handling things correctly. The company tried to settle for just over $100. The dresser alone is worth $600. They took a table to fix it and we never got it back! Turned them into the Better Business Bureau and they couldn't even be professional enough to answer the complaint. Do not even bother with them. It is true, you get what you pay for. The reason they are cheaper is because of the cheap work they do!"

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.
