Description of Work: They found that squarrels were getting into my attic through the turbins and put build material under the turbins so that the squarrels could no longer get in. They did a very good job and made sure that there were no animals in the attic prior to doing the work. The only issue was that they are very busy and if one job goes longer than planned, it puts off other jobs. So we had a few scheduling issues.

Description of Work: Service preformed was a free evaluation and estimate. As I thought, I have lots of squirrels. Gary strongly advised waiting until Dec. or Jan. as otherwise they will keep making new entrances if he can't catch them all at once. He was very knowledgeable and I decided to wait and check back with him this winter. Right now the heat is so high in the attic they aren't coming in.

From the moment he came to give me the estimate until the time he completed the work, Gary was professional, helpful and very attentive to detail. I would highly recommend him. His approach is educational, not pushy and he is very thourough when he completes the work.
Description of Work: Gary inspected my home, recommended closing up or blocking off all the openings left by the builder, He installed flashing on the roof where the eaves meet that were not protected from infestation. He installed mesh in the building weepholes and fill in some gaps where birds, nice, etc could enter my home and/or garage.

Description of Work: Gary came immediately to evaluate my rat problem. The next day he sealed openings in the house and set traps. He returned every day for a week to empty traps. He came when he said he would be here. My rat problem was solved in one week.

I had seen a rat running along my fence a couple times and didn't worry too much, but when my dogs went out in the middle of the night and I saw FIVE rats run one after another under my back porch I panicked and was sure they were about to invade the house. I am very grateful for the inspection and advice and I did stop birdfeeding. So far it's a week and a half and I've seen only one rat outside so I'm hopeful I will not need to do any more. (Since I had mentally kissed a bunch of money goodbye after seeing all those rats, this was a great relief!) I am keeping my fingers crossed! I'll miss feeding the birds but not enough to be willing to attract rats!
Description of Work: Gary set up an appointment for soon after I contacted him to check out the rat problem, which had me very upset. He was prompt and very helpful. He went around my house and climbed up on a ladder to check out roof vulnerabilities and determined that though there might be a couple of places rats could enter if they looked very hard (and he showed me where those would be), basically my house appeared pretty tight. He recommended stopping feeding the birds which is attracting rats, but otherwise NOT doing anything about the problem at this point. He says trapping them makes sense inside but not outside and poisoning not necessarily the best idea either given that they are outside, they may well diminish if I just stop birdfeeding. He also declined payment for the inspection even though he did all the work of going on the ladder and inspecting stuff which was very informative to me and useful.

Description of Work: I had heard the sound of little feet in my attic. I called Gary in the a.m. and he arrived at my house at the he said he would be there at 4 pm. He didn't find an immediate problem. Thought that maybe squirrels were taking some insulation from my attic for there nests. However, he placed some duct tape in the areas of my roof where animals could get in. He came out the next day on time and rechecked to see if any animal was getting in my attic. I am going to get a new roof soon and he suggested that when I do to call him and he will come out and animal proof my roof. He came out twice and looked in my attic and on my roof. He did not charge me at all for his service. I will be using him again in the future.

We had a horrendous termite situation at my mother's house in Hyde Park and the pest control people seemed to think we had animals living under the pier and beam house. Gary came highly recommended. He came over and looked at the situation and tried to determine if there were raccoons or cats or what was under the house. He gave us different tactics to use to try to drive the animals out which we used successfully. He refused payment since he didn't actually perform any services and the fact that my mother is elderly.
Description of Work: Gary came over and counseled us as what to do about animals under a house.

Gary put traps in our attic areas to catch any others that may get in prior to his efforts to seal up the roof joints in our clay tile roof. He didn't catch any other creatures, and over the next four weeks came out to the house to repair the entry points previously used by the ring-tail cat. He sealed all the points near our vents, soffits and roof intersections to ensure that no creatures are capable of entry. The interesting thing is, we had purchased this resale home just 15 months prior, and the home inspector had noticed wildlife incursion in the roof. The previous owner contracted with another service who executed a lame attempt at remediation of the problem. Obviously the things done by this other service provider to prevent the creatures from re-entry were ineffective. Gary is experienced, knowledgeable and patient. We have had no reoccurance of wildlife problems, so the price paid was well worth it. We highly recommend his service.
Description of Work: We called Gary after looking Online for effective wild animal removal from our attic. We had captured a ring-tailed cat in our attic and wanted to ensure that no others could get into our home through any entries. Our roof area is large which is why the price to solve the problem was higher than for smaller footprints.

Description of Work: Gary identified the entry places for squirrels in our attic. He made a number of trips to trap and remove a total of six squirrels. He then closed all the openings and we have had no further problems. The quality of the materials and workmanship are top notch. We will be using Gary again to check for possible openings after we have our hail damaged roof replaced this fall. Gary Bauhofs services are highly recommended.

They knew what they were doing and they were a funny group. They were also friendly and nice. It took a while, but they got the job done. It turned out that I had a litter of 8 raccoons in the attic. I thought they were a little expensive.
Description of Work: They came in and flushed out some raccoons in the attic. They put on the radio and threw some pellets in the attic. The raccoons didn't leave immediately, so they had to come back.

We really value Gary's time and we're grateful that he helped us with our problem. He's a one-man operation, so if you use him, be prepared for dealing with his very busy schedule. That means you may not see him right away, and when you do see him, his cell phone will be ringing non-stop. Gary is very professional though, and he always gives 100%.
Description of Work: Gary came out to help us identify the entry point for rats and mice. He was never able to identify the entry point. The good thing is that he never charged us, even though he set up traps and came out 3 times to check and double check to find the entry point. We never identified the source of the problem, but after a couple weeks of setting basic rat traps, the problem went away. We're so grateful for Gary. At one point, we were considering hiring a different company that would have charged us over $1000 to secure our roof. Gary checked the roof (a very steep one) extensively and determined that there was no entry point on the roof. He was extremely professional and well, honest. We would use him if we ever needed to again.

The tenant in my duplex called to report a horrible smell. I suspected a raccoon in the attic and after investigating found a huge one down a shaft in the wall. I called Gary the next morning, he made room for me in his schedule and met me the same day at lunch. He determined exactly where the raccoon was, cut a piece of drywall out of a closet, removed him and thoroughly cleaned. Gary estimated the raccoon had been there for at least 5 days and, frankly, he was quite a mess. He removed the raccoon, which had already began to decompose, as well as all the insulation that had been affected and he sprayed the area down with cleaning agent.
Description of Work: Found dead raccoon in wall, cut patch out of drywall, extracted raccoon and cleaned mess.

He came in and got out the possums out. Then he sealed all of the holes where they were getting in. He also checked for any other areas they could get in. He came back to check up on and make sure they weren't getting in. He kept me informed all the time. He was very knowledgeable. He also disposed of animals for no extra charge.

Had a possum die under the house in a vent. Gary was able to come out the day I called him which was a good thing because the smell was horrible. He called me at work to say he finished the job and made some suggestions to prevent other animals from getting under the house. His suggestions were definitely appreciated. Gary definitely knows his business.

Gary (this is a one-man company) diagnosed the problem using his wealth of experience in animal behavior, reproductive cycles, and building construction. If you have an animal problem. this is the guy you want to hire. He is not just a bug sprayer with a few traps in the truck. He specializes in trapping and removing all types of animals from both urban and country locations then sealing up the building so that you won't have the same problem next year. He knows what he's doing, respects the wishes of the owner by giving options that may or may not result in the death of the animals, and always is looking for the most humane way to solve the problem. Despite what you might expect, he loves animals and has several German shepherds.
Description of Work: Trap and remove animals living in the attic. We thought we had squirrels or raccoons. It turned out to be a family of ring-tail cats. They were running around at night making odd noises, and generally messing up the insulation in the attic - feces and urine smell everywhere. Using a combination of traps and strategy, he removed the mother and all the babies, visiting every day for about a week to modify the plan as needed until everybody was out and all the potential entrance holes were sealed. He took extreme caution to be sure that the babies were old enough to find their way to the traps so that we would not have young animals trapped inside without their mom.
