Jerry came as promised; removed the bat and charged us the going price. I have used him on other ocassions and will use him again. Jerry is very nice and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Bat was in one of our apartments, I called Jerry and he said I would have to pay for emergency service, we decided that he would come the next day. Jerry realized when he went into his house and saw the time that I called and it was not past 5 pm, he called us back and said he would be out today at the regular price and not overtime.

I was very pleased with the advice he gave and would call them again if I have a problem.
Description of Work: I thought an oppossum was living in a hole in the foundation of my home. The owner Jerry recommended I put scrunched up newspaper or bags in the opening to the hole before coming out to inspect, the charge for inspecting being $95.00. He said that if the bags were displaced after a day then I would know the animal was inside the foundation. I did what he recommended and the bags were not displaced, saving me the $95 inspection fee.

Jerry caught a mole the very first night; Jerry removed that mole promptly. I continued to check the traps daily and after three weeks of no additional moles, Jerry removed the traps.
Description of Work: Upon seeing fresh piles of soil in my backyard one morning, I called Jerry of Affordable Animal Control. Based on my description, Jerry was confident that I had moles, and he came promptly to set four traps.

I was hearing noises in a bedroom and thought we might have an animal in the attic. Jerry came out and inspected the outside first. He found a small hole and covered it up. A couple weeks passed and I was still hearing the noises so I called him to come out again. This time he went up into the attic, but didn't find anything animal related that was causing the noise. He was very thorough and did not charge me for the second visit. Jerry was always very polite, on time, and explained things thoroughly. I highly recommend him!

They came out on the same day of our call and placed two traps. By the time I got home from work that day, they had caught TWO groundhogs! We didn't even know we had two -- we just though there was one. They came out to remove the animals the next morning, and we asked them to replace the traps just in case there were more that we didn't know about. When a day and half went by without any more trappings, we knew we were clear. They were very efficient and friendly, and didn't charge us for replacing the traps the second time. I also really love that rather than coming out to check the traps every day and charging a fee for it, the property owner calls in by 9:00 a.m. to report whether there's a catch or not. They also told us how to properly bury cage wire to keep animals from coming back, and what type of wiring to buy to prevent rusting. Great experience, would definitely use Affordable Animal Control again.
Description of Work: We had a groundhog under our deck who had chewed through some wiring and was generally wreaking havoc.

We had been hearing noises, but he couldn't find an opening. He didn't charge me a fee. He was very polite about everything. He was honest. He would not take any money, which is very unusual. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone. He was very responsive to phone calls. He showed up early for the appointment.

Out of all of the companies that I called, he is the only one that will come out to pick up a deer. He arrived less that 2 hours after I called him. He was willing to tramp out into the wooded yard and understanding when all we found was a broken arrow and a lot of blood, but no deer.

They do not charge you coming out and checking the traps on a daily basis. Your check your own traps and call in the results in the morning. I had this company set traps for skunks, and squirrels. He is always there by the phone waiting for you to call. He is very knowledgeable about setting traps, and will set as many as needed. I have used them since and they are always great. I would highly recommend them to anyone with animal issues.
Description of Work: They gave me the lowest estimate for setting traps.

We were happy with the service. We did have to have them come out again after more animals were sighted a couple weeks after the initial removal (hence the high cost) but this was no fault of the company. The representative was very helpful in answering questions on how to prevent the groundhogs from coming back, which I thought was nice.
Description of Work: We had a serious groundhog issue in our garden, and we knew we had to address it when they tunneled under a structure on the property. We called Affordable Animal Control and I believe they came out the same day. The representative explained the process, and we got a written cost estimate. Ultimately, a number of animals were trapped and removed from our property.

I had the traps for about 1 1/2 weeks. We ended up catching a couple of raccoons that may have been using the deck for shelter but never did get the skunk. Jerry suggested things we could do to see if the animals were using the deck again. The skunk may have been a transient skunk - unfortunately we are near a creek so we get animals a lot. Jerry was very good to work with - reasonable pricing, reliable, and helpful.
Description of Work: We called to request traps to catch the skunk that was spotted feeding in our yard. The owner, Jerry, came out shortly after I called. He looked around the garden and porch where I sometimes smell the skunk and checked around our deck, where we get lots of animals. He set 2 traps. I had the traps for about 1 1/2 weeks - we ended up catching a couple of raccoons that have been using our deck but never did get the skunk.

Jerry did a great job diagnosing and providing remedy for the problem. He saved us a great deal of money because he allows the homeowner to check the traps daily without having to pay for daily inspections that he could do. We were impressed with how much Jerry knew about animal behavior to describe what had happened. We also liked his humane actions in releasing the squirrel rather than killing it. He assured us that the squirrel would be released far enough away as not to return to the scene of the crime!
Description of Work: We found that squirrels had gotten into the house. Jerry identified their location of entrance very quickly (in the end of the roof ridge vent). We would never have determined that. He set traps and a squirrel was caught the next day. He kept the traps in place and added other traps in different positions to make sure there were not other offending squirrels. After a reasonable interval, he screened over the entry place and the problem is solved.

See above statements. Recap: Analysis of whole house for rodent entry points. Set up two humane traps in kitchen. I was required to call company each day to identify a 'catch or no catch' by a designated time. Failure to do this could have resulted in being charged for a 'no catch'. On the fourth day, a baby rat was humanely trapped. Freshly baited traps were set up for another four days. When no other activity occurred, it was determined the problem was solved. It was.
Description of Work: Consulted, then examined interior of house for possible rodent intrusion points. Set up two humane rodent traps in kitchen. Advised and instructed about what to expect. I was required to call company each day to identify either a 'catch' or no catch', by a designated time. Failure to meet deadline, could have resulted in paying for a 'no catch. I was timely, and this did not happen. On the 4th day a baby rat was caught humanely. Freshly baited traps were set up and out for another four days. When no other activity occurred, it was determined the problem was solved. It was.

Jerry was great! He also found that the roof did not extend all the way to the gutters. This gap was wide enough to stick your whole hand into the garage attic, which would allow a Squirrel to lift up a shingle and take up residence in my garage overhang again. This gap ran all along my garage and over my front porch. I have hired a roofing company to fix my gap problem and install flashing.
Description of Work: Jerry was very professional gave me an estimate and setup his traps. We caught 6 Squirrels in 3 days and he relocated them all. He also inspected the attic in the house and garage for problems. He found a 2 X 4 that the Squirrels have ate through half of it, evidence that the Squirrels were eating the insulation off the wiring to the light and garage door opener.

The only drawback to the operation was my fear that either my cat or my dog would walk into a trap. It was necessary to go out with them and watch them. He can solve your problem of animal pests.
Description of Work: Setting 3 traps for raccoons. Each day I called to inform him if we had an animal in the trap. If we did, he came to pick up the animal that day. We caught three raccoons and 1 squirrel (which I released). The raccoons were invading our house. Follow up involved placing boards over the animal entrance near our roof.

I awoke at 3:00 a.m. to find a bat flying around in my house. I called and Jerry arrived within an hour. It took less than five minutes for him to locate and trap the bat. The next morning I discovered a second bat in the house. Jerry came back out and searched for an hour but the bat had hidden itself very well. Although I was able to capture the second bat and remove it from the house, I would not have hesitated to call Jerry to come back to capture the second bat. He was very professional and thorough in his search...bats are very sneaky! He spent some time explaining the nature of bats and gave me the names of a couple of companies to call who can perform an inspection and bat-proof my home. In the meantime, should I awake at 3:00 a.m. to find another bat in my home, I will be on the phone calling Jerry to help me.

The gentleman I talked to was very helpful and responsive to my problem. However he wanted $50 per raccoon to remove. I had no idea how many we were talking about. He was probably the most reasonably priced in this business, but it can get terribly expensive to solve this kind of stuff.
