The owner met me and provided me with the cost for the service on a Saturday and the work was done the following Monday. After the bird's nest and eggs were removed from adjacent to the soffit, I became concerned that not everything had removed from the attic area. I told this to the owner, and that evening, he came over, went up into the attic and found a dead bird. At Once was prompt and responsive to my concerns and needs, and I would use them again. Also, At Once priced out at several hundred dollars less than another wildlife pest control service

I saw a snake under my front steps and contacted this provider to remove it and check to make sure the snake could not find a way to enter the home. The provider was very knowledgable and prompt with his services. He tried to come out the day of contact but I contacted him during rush hour and he had another scheduled job so was unable to make it. The next morning, he had an associate come out to check under my front steps for a snake but he did not see it. He did place two traps. The provider himself came out the following day to offer preventative measures and check outside/inside the home for snakes. Again, no snake found but I trust the information given about snakes being unpredictable in their behaviors. The provider made us feel much better, offered additional services if I was still not satisfied (I declined at this time), and offered solutions for keeping rodents/snakes from burrowing under my front steps.
Description of Work: The provider had an associate come out to place two snake traps outside and offer tips for keeping snakes away from the home. The following day, the provider came out himself and scanned the exterior of the home, attic, and basement for possible ways snakes and mice could enter the home. He placed two screens on two outside vents for preventative measures.

My son heard noises in the attic above his room. At Once Wildlife Solutions staff came out and searched the attic and didn't find any animals but did find footprints in the insulation. The went outside and searched all along the outside of the roof. They found a whole in the roof that is over my son's room (hence the noise). The placed a door there that would let any animals out but the animals could not come back in. They also set traps on the roof for any animals that come out. Later they went back and found one animal. Then, they sealed the whole in the roof so no other animals could enter. So far my son has not heard anymore noises. I had no way of looking at what they did because it was so high, but based on my previous experience with the company dealing with termites, I found the company to be concerned about doing a good job and working with the costumer. The work has a one-year warrenty.

The work was guaranteed for five years. Aside from the disruption that always accompanies having contractors working in your house, the day went very well. Can't put a price on the peace of mind we have going into the spring when the bats come home and try to gain access to the attic again.
Description of Work: The owner of the company, Marc Cohen, came out the day after I called to inspect and give me an estimate. Marc and two of his employees came out a couple of days later and spent the entire day bat proofing attic louvre vents, chimney caps and other potential entry points. In the attic, bat droppings were removed and insulation was replaced where necessary. Marc also discovered that bat bugs were present and treated for those.

I worked with Randy who was very knowledgeable and very patient. He came back with Joe who had the 40' foot ladder that he needed to reach the area where the squirrel was eating the facia on the front of my house. He attached a trap that stopped the squirrel from entering the nest. He then set 2 humane traps on the roof. He returned 2 days later to check and remove the traps. He and Joe came back the next day (in VERY cold weather) to fill in the area where the squirrel had built the nest. Throughout the process, Randy explained what he was doing and what would happen next. Great service and honest caring.

At Once provided exceptional service. We called and talked with Marc and it was clear he knew his business! We called on a Wednesday and by Saturday morning had a specialist at our house to help (despite living several hours away from Baltimore). The specialist, Joe, spent several hours working at our house, assessing how the squirrels had gained entry and setting traps, etc. He was very competent, professional and nice to work with. We expect to have someone back at our house in the near future to complete the job. We are very pleased with At Once and have been impressed with everyone with whom we have worked.

For two days, our sun-loving snake resident was basking on our deck's steps. It was about 2 or 3 feet, but a bit too fat for my limited bravery (maybe silver dollar or larger?). I could not tell what it was, but in Ellicott City, MD, most wild snakes would be non-venomous except for the copperhead, which our f**** wasn't. I called several, larger, wildlife control companies. However, Marc, owner of AtOnce was on a job, yet he called back and said he'd be here in two hours. Snake was still in the sun when Marc arrived, and he identified it as a possibly pregnant water snake. He surprised me by doing some kind of "Call of the Wildman" thing and simply went for it (or her) bare hands. The piece of mind we experienced makes Marc's visit well worth the price. He showed me pictures of a copperhead he had caught at some point, so I could tell the difference. We are very thankful and learned to appreciate the humane way with which he handled our wild snake visitor. Thank you, Marc Cohen and AtOnce Wildlife Control!

He didn't come the day he thought he would, but the animal didn't return so it was okay. He did go to the site (we were not home) and kindly reviewed the ground cover and analyzed the holes. I would use him again, given his diagnosis and ability to troubleshoot over the phone. He clearly knows what he is doing regarding animals and rodents. It was kind of him to stop by the house and tell me about the holes.
Description of Work: I talked to Mark about the issue, we thought there might be a raccoon under the deck. He told me over the phone probably not and that they would not create scat in a low place. He asked about holes and thought it might be a fox. I was impressed by his mind and how he thought quickly about the many possibilities, such as whether there were holes in the ground which would determine the kind of animal.

They quoted me $400 for the service. Technician came on time and inspected the attic. He found the birds and nest. The birds flew away and since there were no eggs in the nest, he sealed the hole from the inside. He then went around the roof line and sealed any points of entry. He was very meticulous. I paid an extra $50 to extend the warranty a year. While the work was great, I think the most exceptional part of my interaction with At Once happened after the work was completed. A few hours after the technician left, Mark called to tell me that after talking it over with the technician, the job was smaller than he had originally thought, so he would refund me $100. I was floored by his honesty and would DEFINITELY do business with him again. In fact, after my annual contract expired with Brody Brothers, I'll be switching to him. HIGHLY recommend.

They were scheduled to arrive at 5:30 pm but I found them there & working when I got home before 5pm. The job isn't quite done yet because they have to come back to remove the pieces attached to the one open hole, fog the attic & cover the final hole. They also placed mesh over my attic vents to keep any critters out. I would call them again if I needed this type of service.
Description of Work: Covered the holes in my soffit except for the one they left open for any remaining birds to exit. Also fixed that hole so that the birds could only exit & not return. They are coming back later this week to finish up by checking & fogging my attic & covering the remaining soffit opening.

I called because I was convinced I had something in my attic bigger than a mouse, maybe a squirrel? And was told by owner Mark that someone could be there the following day. I was surprised that later that afternoon I got a phone call saying that they could stop by the same day. Mark asked them to squeeze me in on the end of their schedule and they were kind enough to do so. They inspected my attic, roof and gutters, found nothing more than mouse droppings but notice the air vent in the attic did not have a screen over it and mice would be able to get in. As Randy baited the attic and mounted screen over the air vent, his coworker returned to the roof w. a caulk gun and caulked any opening that would be possible access. He even cleaned out some of my gutters! They were very nice, explained to me the conditions and features of the roof, and they did not think I was crazy for insisting I heard more than a mouse. I would highly recommend them because of their quick response, patience with my questions and thoroughness of their inspections. The $250 is for 1 year contract for follow up pest services.

I live beside woods. This year there was a bumper crop of acorns, leading to an explosion in the mice, chipmunks, and assorted other wildlife. I have had several companies come out in the past and seal the tiny holes the mice use to come in from the cold. About a week ago, I could smell, but not find, a dead mouse. The guy who came actually complemented the way the house was sealed but found three tiny holes that the mice had dug out to get in. I had spent hours looking for where they were gaining entry and had not seen them. The unique thing he did was plug them with a fine wire mesh in addition to a foam to keep them out. Very efficient and knowledgeable. Too early to know if this will solve the problem, but they will come out again for free should more mice enter.

Overall it went very well and it was a pleasant experience working with AT Once Wildlife. So far no snakes have been trapped but we have the one year contract with them in case we see any snakes after the hibernation period ends.
Description of Work: We called AT Once Wildlife for snake inspection of the house and seal any holes/entry points. An employee of this company came and did the inspection but did not find any snakes. We went for a one year contract and he sealed some holes in the garage and basement and put a few glue boards that day. He also inspected the attic and removed a bird nest and put some rat poison in the attic. A few days later we saw a mouse trapped on one of the glue boards in the garage. We called Marc and asked him to come and see if there were any more holes that needed to be sealed because we felt that if a mouse could enter the garage then a snake would also be able to enter the garage. Marc came after a couple of days and inspected the house from the exterior and sealed few gaps he found. He also said he would stop by and put mouse poisoned traps in the garage which he did after a few days. He also provided some additional tips and advice to us. Update April 2013: We called AT Once Wildlife this month after we saw a black rat snake moving all along the perimeter of the house trying to enter the house. We had signed a one year contract with them earlier in October 2012. We called Marc again the next day when we saw the same snake sitting on the front porch. Marc stopped by within a couple of hours and took the snake away. He advised what we can do the next time we see a snake outside the house. He was very nice and polite and I did not have to pay for this trip. I would definitely recommed him as he honoured the contract. Update June 2013: We called AT Once Wildlife in June to show some things in the basement that raised suspicion about any gaps/holes in the basement. Marc called back the next day and stopped by to take a closer look and felt there was a minor hole at one end of the basement. This place is a bit difficult to inspect due to pipes & studs but he tried to seal the gaps and also put a few glue boards. So far we have not seen anything on the glue boards. Just wanted to provide this update as Marc continued to honor the one year contract I signed with him and I did not have to pay him for this work. Highly recommended.

Overall it went very well. At once came out and assessed the problem 24 hours after we called and the box was set a week later. The job consisted of two visits. The first visit was to install the box and the second visit was to confirm and then remove the box, and seal the entryway. On the first visit, they arrived a little outside of the appointment window, but they phoned us to keep us aware of their arrival status. Everything else went very smoothly. I believe I was taken advantage of by another company, so my boyfriend was a bit apprehensive about dealing with "another contractor", but the experience with At Once was great!
Description of Work: Squirrel family in the attic was removed. They found the hole that the squirrels created to enter the attic and attached an "exit only" box to the hole. This allowed the squirrels to exit, but not re-enter my home. After the squirrels were out of the attic, At Once confirmed they were gone and then patched the hole. They then went above and beyond by patching what was possibly the beginning of another hole.

Fine. Very professional and courteous.
Description of Work: Came within hours of our first call about bat on a Sunday. Checked all existing seals around the chimney, bat house, attic for evidence of bats. Found nothing. Arrived at conclusion that bat in house the night before was a random entry not evidence of a colony in the attic or behind the chimney. Will return if we have any additional problems.

We heard the patter of tiny feet in the attic for a couple weeks; it didn't stop so we found Marc Cohen through Angies list. He came out immediately, very pleasant, set the traps, came back a couple more times to check for holes in the attic from the outside. The noise stopped after a day or two. Then--Marc forgot to charge us, so a couple months later I finally re-contacted him, he came immediately and took away the attic traps (one of which had a dead squirrel in it), and charged $250 (he previously estimated $300 - $350). So, he forgot to charge me, which is a very nice quality, and then he charged less than he said he would. I almost put in a "B" instead of an "A" for price since it seems expensive, but I have absolutely no idea how much others charge and he did made several trips. Anyway, he is great and would definitely recommend him strongly, and if I needed this service again, I would not shop around--I would just call Marc again. He is a very pleasant guy and the service was outstanding.
Description of Work: Trapped what turned out to be a squirrel in our attic, running around (the squirrel, not Marc).

It went very well. The trap was the type that allows the squirrel to leave the house through the hole that they (squirrels) created, but it didn't allow them back in. They also set other traps in the general vicinity of the squirrel hole (not sure why). Several squirrels were caught. After a week of no more apparent activity inside my walls, it was concluded that the animals were no longer in there. The company then patched the hole.

The workman arrived on time and worked in a quiet, efficient way for about 4 hours. He ran out of screening material, so set the traps and returned early the following week to collect the traps and finish the last two pieces of wire screening. He was very competent and worked very well. The only small problem was that it took an extra two days to get back to pick up the traps and to finish the last of the work. It turned out that the owner was out of town, and he apologized for any inconvenience caused. There really was no inconvenience and we were very satisfied with the quick, professional work done. WE HAVE NO MORE SQUIRRELS UNDER THE DECK! We are thrilled.
Description of Work: Our Problem: squirrels nesting under a second floor deck and on top of the flat rubber membrane roofing of the room below the deck. The last time they did this, they ate through the rubber membrane roofing material, causing major water damage. When we contacted At Once, the squirrels had begun to build a new nest. We needed the squirrels and the nest removed. Then we needed to block access with heavy wire screening materal. At Once removed the nesting material and covered the open area between each of the joists that support the deck with heavy wire screening which they attached to the house. Each piece of screening was cut, bent to shape and fit, inserted in the gap and firmly attached. The squirrels left once the work began. After closing the holes, two traps were set on the deck, with our approval. One squirrel was caught, the traps were removed after 2 days and the work was finished. We have had no more squirrels under the deck and we are thrilled.
