Unfortunately the groundhog seems to be smarter than us. However, R.Dana keeps working on the issue and I have every confidence that the problem will be successfully completed.

Response from R. Dana Pest Control
I apologize sir, however you must be confusing our company with another as we have no records of you ever reaching out to us or vice versa. In fact your location is 2 hours away and well out of our service area. We dont have your information in the comouter and you have never reached out to me on this site. Rating an F irresponsibly is hurtful to the pride and integrity of my grandfathers legacy and would ask you please remove. Again there is no record of us conducting business and i take all the leads myself. I wish you luck in your bird removal i have a company in your area i can recommend if you need

Squirrels entered attic by chewing through the wooden gable vent, leaving a gaping hole. Technician installed a one-way door over this vent, which allowed the rodents to leave when they needed water or food, but prevented them from re-entering. This process worked as explained, and after a week, the technician removed the one-way door and installed a heavy metal mesh screen over the vent from inside the attic, to prevent any further intrusion by these tree rats. Wish I'd checked Angie's List first as I was unaware that this vendor offered a 5% coupon for members. Overall, I was very impressed and satisfied with this company's services. Their technicians are very polite and helpful. The work is also guaranteed for one year, which is reassuring. I would recommend their services without hesitation.

Norman assured me by phone that it was too early for termites and identified the insect from my description and said there was no reason to eradicate . He suggested I send a picture in order to confirm. All was done by email and there was no charge. He even suggested that he could do a site visit but it would be a waste of my money. He was very honest and I would definitely contact him in the future.

We reached out to Dana Pest Control because we had noticed some moisture spots coming through our ceiling which was the result of some animal in our attic. I had called in the morning and spoke to Steve Dana and explained the situation and he was very polite and professional and explained what may be causing the moisture. He advised that his guy, Fred, who has over 18 years experience dealing with animal control, was on another job, but would stop by our home before going to his next job. Fred came exactly at the time Steve told me he would! Talk about punctual. Fred informed my husband that he had previously been at our home over ten years ago prior to us moving there. Fred was very thorough and examined the exterior, interior and attic. He explained the situation in detail and didn't charge us for some foam repellent he put on outside or the inspection. We will definitely use this company in the future should the need arise. We are very pleased with the service they provided to us! Thank you Dana

It went great!
Description of Work: I had a pest problem in my attic, possibly squirrels or some other large rodent which was causing damage to the floors. I contacted R. DANA Pest Control and they immediately sent an experienced Inspector over to my home. The Inspector was honest, knowledgeable and thorough in his examination of my home. After concluding that the damage to my ceiling was done from an animal which had since died or left my home, he none the less sprayed some foam to block a potential entry point. He did not charge for his services and was very honest and up front about the problem. I would definitely recommend.

Steve arrived with Lucy exactly at the time of our appointment and gave me clear instructions on how to create the least distraction for Lucy as she did her job. Lucy was both efficient and adorable, and Steve was very professional and informative. It was all over in about 20 minutes. I would call Dana again in a second if I had any concern about bed bugs.
Description of Work: Brought Lucy, the dog, to my apartment to search for evidence of bed bugs. (There were none, thank God)

They didn't come here, and I did it myself. I just talked to them and told them my issues, and they gave me some product and I used that. They instructed me how to use the product and said that it would resolve my issues, and if it did not, then I should go back to them. The information they gave was free, and they charged me only for the product. They didn't seem to make extra money, and the powder they gave worked well.
