Fantastic.
Description of Work: We had a horrible odor in our family room and suspected a dead animal somewhere in the house. VPWRS was quick to respond even on a holiday. They immediately found a dead raccoon in our chimney, removed it, and deodorized and disinfected the area. There was no extra charge for responding on a holiday. They were prompt, knowledgeable, and efficient. Excellent service!!!

They spent 3 hours attempting to have this animal removed, but they were unable to remove it. They said that it was the first time ever that this has ever happened to them. It was most likely due to the weird internal structure of chimney, as previously noted by a professional chimney sweep. The next day I received a call from them asking if they could come back to try a different technique (free of charge), they discovered it was an barred owl from the sounds it was making, but were still unable to reach it. They were extremely courteous, professional, and caring. I really appreciated that they came back out the second time just to give it another shot (they even said that they lost sleep over this!). I would highly recommend them!
Description of Work: An animal got in through our chimney and into the basement walls.

Wanda, Eddie, and Humberto were excellent in every regard. They are true professionals with a great deal of experience, and they helped to educate us, as well as to figure out what to do about the birds in our vents. We highly recommend them.

Removed birds and put down repellent or the mice. They put in a barrier to keep out the birds as well, then cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend them. They were professional, on time, knowledgeable, and really friendly.

The team arrived on time, inspected the interior and exterior of the house. Next they explained the conclusions they had reached and communicated an their capture plan. They set their traps and captured the animal within 24 hours. I found the team to be very professional and polite. They appeared of have technical know of the animals. They did a great job. I plan to use them again.
Description of Work: Capture and removal of squirrel in the lower attic area. This rodent was damaging the house by nesting there.

Squirrels can be so destructive once they get into homes. They damage insulation, chew electrical wires and chew holes in vents, soffits and siding. We appreciate your kind remarks and are pleased that are technicians were able to quickly remove squirrels from your [Member Information Removed] property.

Snake removal is one of the most common calls we get in [Member Information Removed] and other areas of Central Virginia. Our technicians are great at finding snakes and snake proofing properties to help keep snakes out of homes. We are honored that you contacted us for snake removal services. Thank you!

Description of Work: In Dec. of 2015 I had a bat in my upstairs and Wanda and her team were very helpful in checking to see how it got inside and in performing the necessary fixes to minimize another one entering. In Feb. 2017 I discovered mice droppings under my kitchen sink and VPWRS was the only one I called after my attempt to catch it/them was not successful.

They were very professional, prompt and I am extremely satisfied with their work. They couldn't have been nicer. Eddie explained what needed to be done and exactly how he was going to do it and why.
Description of Work: They sealed places in the kitchen for mice. They also set up a trap and successfully caught a flying squirrel. It had been nesting and they pulled out all the nest. They came the next week as scheduled, Wednesday; to do some other work. They would have come back the next day if I wanted them to. They removed the traps. I have 4 vents under the eave. They inspected the house and sealed off the 4 vents so nothing could get in. They checked the chimney. The 1st time they came out and did the inspection and set the traps was $295. Every visit after was $75 to come back.

We found the VPWRS co-owner to be a very knowledgeable and experienced person. Our inspection was scheduled for 11 am but was delayed until mid-afternoon after we received two phone calls to explain the delay. After a short discussion, the representative put on protective footwear and carried out a close internal and external inspection looking for likely access areas and evidence of bats being present. At the close-out discussion, we discussed the scope of work and were given a budget price and time-line for the work to be carried out. The written estimate arrived a week later for $1910 meaning that the verbal price already factored in the inspection. This fact was not mentioned on day the inspection was carried out!
Description of Work: Co-Owner, Wanda Hope, performed an inspection inside and outside our house. During the previous week, we had experienced bats in our first-floor family room and in a second-floor bedroom. We discovered a small bat colony in the third floor attic. This company carried out a close inspection lasting around one hour and discussed the findings with us. We asked for a "budget price" for two reasons - the inspection fee of $200 seemed very high and we wanted to compare quotes from other pest removal companies. Our verbal estimate amounted to $1710 for a specified scope of work. We were promised a written estimate within three days.

There wildlife control technicians were courteous, knowledgeable, always on time and throughly explained there animal removal process.

I called this company after a couple of nights of hearing something in the attic. I did not know what it was but after speaking wife of this husband/wife owned operation she assured me that her husband would be out to determine exactly what it was and set traps. They came out together a few days later and looked at areas that WE pointed out that could have been points of entry. After going into the attic and finding little to nothing they came to the conclusion that they really couldn't pinpoint what it was and suggested that we go out at night to complete bat watch for 3-4 nights. HOW RIDICULOUS! WHAT WAS THE POINT OF HIRING THEM! No other company makes this recommendation. Then they proceeded to set only ONE squirrel trap that was hanging off the side of our house that I am sure every squirrel was immediately aware not to go that direction. No other traps were set in the attic where the noise was coming from. Less than one week later the wife called and said that they wanted to pick up their trap. She never asked if anything had been caught until I again asked her how the process worked and advised we were still having the same issue and what was effective measure for resolving the issue. They then go on to give you the same speil about if its bats then they can't do anything until the end of August. Don't bats hibernate at that time? What is the point of that? Never indicating or showing what they do as a professional service. I showed the wife a squirrels nest outside of gable on the house approximately 7 feet from the house and she hardly even looked at it to determine whether it could be squirrels and offered no additional solutions. Feeling downright cheated out of my $225. I listened to them talk about a multitude of charges for other services I am sure that they would be equally incapable of providing. Very disappointed.

Response from Virginia Professional Wildlife Removal Services
We are sorry to hear that the member was unhappy with the service provide. We never met with the member until our last visit and she never expressed her unhappiness with our work. She is the FIRST customer to EVER complain about our service. During our initial visit to the member home we inspected the home and provided them with a written report and pictures documenting our findings. We briefed the member on our findings and observations and set a one-way colony trap over the identified entry point. This type of trap would capture any squirrel exiting her home and not allow a squirrel to re-enter. We also found and identified bat droppings in the attic and pointed out potential bat entry points (even though bats were never the complaint). It was explained to them that no reputable wildlife removal company would remove bats during the May-August bat birthing period. To do so would create a situation where baby bats that are still dependent on the mother bat for survival would be orphaned and left behind to die. To save the member's money and potential problems they were educated on how to conduct a bat watch. They were repeatedly asked to conduct a bat watch and notify us of their findings. This request was made several times and we were never contacted with their observations, so we have to assume that a bat watch was never conducted. We also made a second trip to their home during which time a "temporary seal" of the squirrel entry point was made and the attic area was re-examined at no cost to the member's. During our last visit to the member home we personally explained to the member how he could personally make the needed repairs to his home in an attempt to save them any additional expenses. Lastly, the amount of money paid to VPWRS is incorrect. Although we dealt exclusively with the member during our visits, and he NEVER expressed any displeasure with the service provided, we would have gladly attempted to rectify and resolve the member's concerns had she chosen to contact us directly.
