Alco Animal & Pest Control

I had squirrels scurrying around in my attic crawl space for months. I tried putting in mothballs, flashing lights, banging on the walls, throwing socks filled with fox-urine-scented animal repellent granules -- nothing worked to deter those squirrels from coming back and nesting in my attic. Finally I gave up on my home remedies and called three professional animal control companies to give me estimates on fixing the problem. The discrepancy in price was jaw-dropping, for basically the same solution. One company wanted $1000, one wanted $1300 and Alco wanted $500. Two great guys, Angel and Don, came and went up a ladder to inspect the hole in corner of the roof where I had seen the squirrels coming and going. They identified two other potential problem areas in other parts of the roof. They put in a one-way wire tunnel, and put two sizes of wire mesh around the area of the entry hole. Within less than a day the squirrels had left the attic. I saw them attempting to return, but they could not. In a few days, the guys came back, removed the tunnel and sealed up the hole with wire mesh. The underscored how important it was for me to get a roofer to replace the wood and shingles that the squirrels had chewed through, in order to prevent rainwater and snow melt from getting inside the walls of my house. They were knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to deal with throughout the process, and gave a one-year guarantee. The more expensive companies offered exactly the same service, but didn't bring a ladder to examine the problem. If squirrels or other critters ever get back in, I will definitely call Alco again. We were totally satisfied with their job.

Thy are reliable. They are very friendly and personable. I have never had a problem with their service. I have used them for ten years. Even if they need to come back, they are prompt and hand the issues very quickly.
