Description of Work: Set traps to entice a skunk that was inhabiting my neighborhood. Instead caught a possum, which may have been tangling with the skunk. Since the service was complete, no "parfumerie de la skunk" has been noticed! Aaron was so polite, knowledgeable, and professional! Would use them again in a heartbeat!

After hearing noises in our attic and a BIG noise in our guest bathroom, I called Meerkat to make an appointment. Rich came and determined that the we had a flying squirrel(s) that was able to get into our guest bathroom and was living in our attic. He gave us peace of mind that Meerkat would be able to solve our flying squirrel problems and stand behind their work. Jesse came and determined where the entry points were. He was so thorough and professional! I have to add that we have used other companies over the years. Our house has been sealed and resealed.I feel that if we had used Meerkat and Jesse earlier perhaps the flying squirrels in our guest bathroom and attic would not have returned. Matt did a great job sanitizing and checking traps. He also made sure that all entry points were sealed and explained what was done and why. All technicians were very professional, knowlegeable and thorough. All appointments times were kept. Phone calls were returned promptly. I finally feel confident that we have a long term solution. If you need are looking for a pest control company and wildlife removal, this is the company to call!
Description of Work: got rid of our flying squirrels in the attic and a couple mice in the basement...created a way for the flying squirrels to get out but not get back in...inspected and sealed points of entry, set traps for flying squirrels and mice, returned twice to check traps...sanitized our bathroom( where a flying squirrel had died) and sanitized the attic once all traps were removed,.. sheet rocked a small area in garage because it was a possible entry point.....

Good overall, though not very good on follow up on removal of the traps. The original plan was to seal up and lay traps, then come back within 7-10 days to collect traps. Took two calls and 4-5 weeks to get them to come back and remove traps. Not a big deal since the traps were out of the way, but still.

Description of Work: I had a family of squirrels living in my attic, due to an opening created by a large falling icicle last winter. Meerkat was very responsive. They came and did an estimate and were able to start work at the end of that week. They closed the holes with screening and set traps, then came by several times to check the traps and remove the dead animals. They completed the project by replacing the wood corners of the house. The Meerkat employee, Jesse, was professional and he explained what he was doing through each step of the process. I would definitely recommend Meerkat.

They came very promptly after my first call for a free estimate- I called on a Wednesday and they came on Friday. . Once I signed the contract on a Friday they returned the following Monday to seal up the house and set traps and a one way door. It was extremely frigid temperatures outside and snowing but they worked very hard outside and up on the snow covered roof to resolve the problem. They returned on Friday to check the traps and then they came back a final time on Monday to remove the traps and the one way door and to sanitize the attic. The price was not cheap but it was worth it to get these frightening and destructive critters out of our attic. The technicians Jessie and James were both very knowledgeable and polite and understood our worries about having these creepy animals in our attic- very upsetting! It is such a relief to have them gone and our attic sealed up to prevent any others from coming in. They also provide a one year warranty in case we have any further problems.
Description of Work: Trapped and removed flying squirrels from our attic. Sealed all entry points. Sanitized attic once squirrels were removed. Also set traps in attic and basement in case we also had mice- although we ended up not having any mice.

After discovering wood destroying insects in the landscape around the house, and consulting a few different companies, we decided that Meerkat offered the best plan for our situation. The difference was that they use a preventative treatment plan so that we wouldn't have to worry about the insects we found outside from entering the house. The other companies wanted to charge for returning inspections and only treat the house after the insects came in. The owner came out promptly and inspected the house and the exterior and evaluated the different types of insects that were found in yard. He even discovered other potential problem insects that we were unaware of and the inspectors from the other companies missed. He made me feel that this was his problem to deal with now and we didn't have to worry about it any longer. Within a few days a technician came out and treated the area around the house, fixed any potential entry areas for rodents and also removed a large yellow jacket nest in our attic eaves. He also gave us advice for making changes to our landscape to discourage any return of insect or rodent activity. Since the treatment we have not seen any return of any of the insects they treated for and have not seen any bees return either. The ladies that answer the phones in the office are super nice and always treat me respectfully. They take all my concerns seriously and listen without trying to rush me off the phone when I call. They sent a technician out promptly this week to treat for a pavement ant issue unrelated to our initial treatment and it was taken care of quickly and completely. He was also very nice and respectful and even though it was a minor problem he took it seriously. All the people at Meerkat are great to work with, very professional and courteous. I highly recommend them.

When my fiance had first called Meerkat about the raccoon in his attic, they were very prompt and courteous in coming out, explaining what they needed to do - set up a trap outside on his roof - and what might have to happen afterwards. If the raccoon had had kids, they would safely remove them and then chemically clean up and replace the insulation in the attic. Unfortunately, it took a full month to catch the raccoon. We understand that this isn't necessarily Meerkat's fault and every time we called them to check on the progress, someone was available to stop by, reposition, or re-bait the trap. However, considering this length of time, the raccoon had had a litter and the attic required the full cleanup process. This turned out to be extremely expensive. It was $1100 to catch the raccoon and $3400 for the cleanup - ouch! In addition, my fiance's house was being rented to tenants and, during the repair work in the attic, someone had stuck their foot through the ceiling. The spot was patched, but not painted, and bags of old insulation were left in the garage. The tenants had no idea what was going on and only when they complained to us were we made aware of the situation. Meerkat picked up the trash, but painted the ceiling a non-matching color and not even the whole room where it was damaged. While Meerkat was polite every time I spoke to them, this process was long, expensive, and a huge hassle for ourselves and our tenants.

Response from Meerkat Pest Control
We certainly appreciate the customers business but we are somewhat misrepresented in the review. Trying to get a pregnant mother raccoon into a live cage "Humanely" is not an easy chore. We can't force her into the trap and they are extremely cautious when they are about to deliver. We were attempting to remove the Mother Raccoon while saving the unborn babies. It took three weeks for everything not four. The droppings in the attic were mostly from the mother (90%) and had to be cleaned up either way. The cost involved in the $3400 "Ouch" price was for ripping out old insulation, installing new and the cost of the actual new insulation. A very fair price indeed if you check your local hardware store. All excess insulation was removed, the ceiling was painted white, same as the current color. Once again we appreciate the business!

As of writing this review a week after Meerkat's service I am happy with the service they provided. Bedbugs are not an easy pest to clean up, but it appears that Meerkat has done a very good job with the clean up. They inspected the house for signs throughout the house and thoroughly cleaned the rooms that were most likely harbingers of the pests. They arrived right on schedule and were done in the time they projected. The staff member who worked on our house walked me through everything that they would be using for the treatment and what he planned to do while we were out. They provided a detailed list of the work that was done and I hope it was sufficient. I am very happy with the results thus far and the price makes those results seem even better.

Had an emergency. After failing to get a reply from or feel comfortable with the 2 Angie's List Pest Control companies near me, I went to the phone book and found Meerkat. A human answered the phone and the owner came over my house to evaluate the problem. Following day two guys were sent who REALLY knew their business (and were very nice)! Solved the problem and came back several times to check on how it was going. Told me they'd be back again in 6 months to re-inspect. Very thorough and very competent.
Description of Work: Critters were nesting in my walls. Meerkat determined it was Flying squirrels, eliminated the problem and went around the house to plug up all possible inlets. Also they "critter proofed" my outdoor air conditioner that had been a haven for wire-chewing mice or chipmunks, which led to 3 expensive service calls this past season, costing me $700!

I waited a year to do this review because I wanted to see if this company did what they promised. Their service is guaranteed for a year and I am happy to say that their system works. They went all around my house to find holes and cracks where mice might be getting in and then plugged the holes up. One of the owners came first to access the situation and gave us the estimate and the other owner was the one that did the work. My husband and I are very pleased and would use them again.
