Adcocks Trapping Service

He noticed that the screen on the attic fan was torn and noticed an area in the insulation that also looked like a nest. He addressed the areas and i have not noticed any new signs of animals. He replaced the screen on attic fan and also had an area re addressed by his company that they had worked on before. There was not an appointment fee.

They were great. I would recommend them!

I was selling my house and moving in just a few days when I started hearing crying babies from my fireplace. Adcocks kindly and humanely found the raccoons that were nested below my fireplace. Mother and a couple of babies. Mother got out, he got out the babies safely and then explained what I could do so that the mother would return and collect them. He also offered to take the babies. I followed his instructions and the babies were collected by their mother overnight.

They came when they said they would, they were very polite, mannerable, professional, and I'm very pleased. I would recommend them to my friends.

Prompt. knowledgeable. Raccoon-savvy. Not cheap, but quality work. Neat, strong and all work comes with a 5-year warranty against animal re-entry. Now, if a critter breaks in, Adcock pays for the damage. (Raccoons once did $6,000 damage to my attic.) I have been trying several different techniques to construct barriers to the raccoons climbing the corners of my siding. Adcock's approach was different -- "You can't stop em from climbing up on your roof; let em. But when they find all their entries sealed with 24-guage metal, they will move on -- to your neighbor's house." ;-) Yes, I warned them. I'm giving Adcock's a conditional rating of 'A'. We'll see if I make any new raccoon friends in the next 5 years.

The technician surveyed the attic and the yard around the house. He told us indeed there were mice in the attic but that Adcock specializes in eliminating the "openings" in a home that rodents would enter through; not extermination. He said we would receive an estimate for the cost of "closing" all of the modes of entry for the rodents within a few days. It's been over a week now and we haven't received an estimate. We haven't heard the mice in the attic since the inspection either so I guess that's gppd news.

I could not be happier. I travel a lot for work and they worked my schedule so that the squirrels would be trapped and removed in a humane manner. These guys are great and they guarantee their work. There were no additional charges.

We were happy with the services provided. Adcock's trapped and removed several squirrels that were residing in a non-functioning vent. They came every day to check the traps and when they ensured that the animals were gone, they patched over the vents.

We have a bat problem in my townhouse community and a bat go into my house. Adcock came and inspected my house and determined it was a lone incident and that my house was not infested, however, there were areas Adcock sealed to prevent future entrance. They thoroughly described how bats get into homes and the best way to keep them out. They clearly explained where the work would be performed and what paperwork I needed to file the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (species protection paperwork), and their work guarantees. We scheduled the time and the work was completed as scheduled.

We had originally called Adcocks due to noises in our walls, but played telephone tag with them with them not calling us back last time we left a message. The noise stopped, so we did not bother calling back. Then we noticed guano on our walk way and shutter; when we sprayed our shutter with water, out flew two bats! We called a few of the other pest control people on Angie's list, but they would not come since the bats were outside of the house. We checked with the USDA and Adcocks was on their list of "Nuisance Wildlife Control Cooperators," so we called again. This time they told us how much it would be ($95 for inspection up to $350 for work) and schedule an appointment. Bob was on time and professional. He inspected the shutter where the guano was and confirmed the bats were no longer there. Inspected all our shutters showing me where the loose one was that I should have tightened. He described the bats behavior and suggested I probably scared them off and they would not return. He told me what I could do if they did return. Adcocks does have a service where they seal the gap between the shutter and the siding and he gave me an estimate on that service. However, when I mentioned we would be changing the siding in a year or two he said we should consider if it would be worth it. Very happy with the service and would have them out again if needed.

I have been using them for over 20 years. They have caught all sorts of animals around our home. They are very good to deal with.

I contacted Adcock's after finding a bat in my living room—I wanted to have someone check out our attic to see if this was a random occurrence or a bigger problem. The person I scheduled the appointment with was friendly and helpful. She briefly explained the process of "bat exclusion" that they undertake to remove bats and was able to schedule an appointment within 48 hours of my call. The actual inspector/exterminator (not sure what you call them) was friendly and knowledgeable. I had been given a time slot for when he would show up, but he called to see if he could come out earlier, and I agreed to this. After he arrived, he inspected the attic for 10–15 minutes and found evidence of "bat activity." He then spent another 20 minutes on the roof looking for "points of entry." Fortunately (or unfortunately?), he explained that he had called his company to verify that someone had been out two years ago (before we bought our townhouse) and did some sealing work, and he also informed me that a neighbor to one side of us had used them as well. However, this time around, he suspected that our problem was resulting from bats occasionally coming in from our other neighbor's attic --> through the space in the firewall between our houses --> through our walls/attic. He suggested we contact our neighbor, who wasn't home at the time, to see if they'd be agreeable to having someone over to inspect. Right now we're in the midst of working this out with our neighbor. If she doesn't agree to have anything done with her property, I will call Adcock's to come out and do what they can and hope that I don't see anymore bats!

It went great. All appointments were kept and I wasn't pitched services I didn't need. I let them do the repair work on the chew hole and attic screens because of the honest nature of the trapping services provided. I highly recommend dealing with this company.

I had a huge snapping turtle in the yard that couldn't get back out due to our fence. I called and they came out within thirty minutes on Memorial Day weekend. We'd used them before and they were just as nice and professional as always. I would highly recommend using them.

Their servicemen behaved quite professionally, were prompt, and kept me informed every day as to the number of squirrels captured. I particularly liked the fact that the squirrel removal fee was independent of how many squirrels would be caught.

Overall, a great experience. Very professional. Don't hesitate to call these folks.

They were really good. They trapped the squirrels and also put up a mesh to make sure that they didn?t get back in. It is a family-run company, and they were extremely helpful, nice and really responsive. They were exactly what we needed, and we really liked them. The price seemed pretty comparable to others. I would highly recommend them. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future if necessary.

I was pleased with Adcocks and they resolved the problem by catching the squirrel. They were responsive on the phone and set up an appointment immediately. The inspector didn't go into our attic (crawlspace) to inspect, which I found surprising, but he must have seen enough from going on the roof and inspecting from the outside to know of the issue and how to resolve it. He inspected both the problem area that I pointed out as well as other potential future problem areas and made clear repair recommendations with a clearly stated price. Before he left that day, he set up the traps on the gutters by our roof. Trapping was a bit haywire due to a snowstorm that hit in the middle of that week, but despite the uncooperative mother nature, they eventually caught a squirrel and removed it from the premises. About a week later, the repairs were completed (after I called the office to accept the proposal) and the job was complete. We've had no problems since, so it was successful. They were reliable and effective in what they did, and I would recommend them.. Trapping price, while high in absolute dollars ($350), is nearly identical to competitors. Repair costs ($425) did feel a bit pricey relative to the work involved, but I didn't really have any other bids on which to compare, so perhaps they were in line too. Only thing I would have liked was more frequent (i.e. daily) communication as to progress on the trapping. During the snowstorm, the traps were left in place, but I don't think anybody came by to check on them (understandable due to weather), but I wasn't 100% certain if anybody had come by to check, and if not, when they planned to resume. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my experience with Adcocks, would highly recommend them, and definitely would use them again if I'm unfortunate enough to have another animal problem in the future.

I could hear something in my attic (actually, a crawlspace under my roof -- there is no access to it from inside my house). Adcock's sent two men over exactly when they said they would; they found two spots where squirrels had gnawed into the attic and gave me a written estimate for a series of options. They included an Angie's List discount. Adcock's set humane traps with peanuts and monitored (and captured) animals for a week. They said they would check the traps every day. Since I work, I have no way of knowing if they turned up every day but I believe they did. Twice they left notes and one morning I saw a worker on the roof. After the trapping was finished, I hired them to put a metal drip-edge behind my gutters. (I only had wood there, which is how the squirrels were able to get in.) They did that and billed me in the mail for $377.81, the exact price they quoted minus another Angie's List discount. They were fast and professional. I would hire them again.

I think they did a good job. They didn't succeed in catching the animal but they tried. However, the animal was scared enough to leave my house and it has not come back. It was $95 just to come out and look at the problem, that seemed high but then they deducted that from the cost of the removal. Then they repaired the roof for $250 minus the $95, the raccoon made a huge hole in my roof. I looked in the phone book and the reason I chose them is because they said "humane removal". They said if it's a squirrel they catch in your house they will trap it live and then go 10 miles away and release it. If it's a raccoon they catch, the Montgomery County says they have to humanely euthanize them. If they caught it they would have still had to take it back to their facility. That's another reason I would recommend them, because it's a humane removal. They are also good at communicating, they would leave notes on my door every day with the progress and whether they did or did not catch it and set traps. They didn't set the trap on the weekends because they didn't want the animal to free over night if it was trapped. There was an option of having another company come in and do the roof repair, but I thought their price was pretty reasonable. I have a two story house so I haven't seen the repair but I assume it was fine.

They came and identified areas where mice were getting in and performed whatever was necessary to remove them. They did an inspection and also some repair. I thought they were expensive but I'm pleased with them. They were very professional and knowledgeable on the phone when we talked to them. They took the time to understand the issue and then came out very quickly. They set up everything as quickly as they could and were in and out quickly.

I am very pleased with the service I received. I appreciated getting different options for handling the animal problems (did I want to have the few unblocked soffit vents addressed, or all of them? Did I want to do something about mice?) The only issue I had was that the final bill- which was mailed- took a little time to show up, as my address was not fully visible from the envelop window. That said, I would absolutely hire this company again- and- I should add- the work that was performed is guaranteed for something like 5 years! Wonderful.

My greatest fear was hearing the raccoons rummaging in the ceiling in the living room where they entered through the wall crawl spaces. They arrived within 48 hours, inspected and set the traps the following day, retrieved the traps within 48 hours, closed all entry points, and contructed the blocking barriers during the same visit. I'm relieved. This was the third event; first it was the squirrels, then possums, and now the raccoons. The tree limbs near the house were also trimmed to prevent the critters from leaping onto the roof.

They were wonderful. They were very professional and considerably less expensive than other estimates we were given. They replaced the skunks to a refuge in Maryland.

They were very prompt. The guy had a lot of patience and explained the situation to me. He told me not to panic because I was more than a little freaked out about the situation. They were very reasonable about the price. I would use them again in the future.
