Bird Removal Companies in San Francisco

I had been searching for a while to find a company that would do bird removal services for residential areas. All the ones I had called were for commercial only. I called and was able to get on the calendar for that week. Ken came and gave us an estimate after evaluating the situation and I called the office back immediately to schedule. We had birds that actually pecked through some of the trim work in our home which is stucco, but the trim is foam shaped and the birds decided to make it a home for them by slowly pecking away at the foam until they formed a nice hole, 2 of them at that. They then decided to start pecking at the stucco. Bird mess was all over our patio which made it hard to go out to sit and relax without having to hose it down. I couldn't wait until Ken got here to fix. It was scheduled for 2 appts. He installed a one way screen over the holes where the birds could get out, but not in, then would be back in a week to cover up the holes. During his 2nd visit, we found the birds decided to make nests on our outdoor speakers. Ken then took down the nests and put on birds spikes to keep them from returning. Ken's professionalism and knowledge to help us get rid of the birds for good WORKED!! For the first week we had some angry birds!!! And now, they have left our home and moved on. I highly recommend them if you have a bird problem. Since they did such a great job with the bird removal, I am positive they would do an excellent job ridding rodents from your home as well. Thanks Premier Rodent for evicting those pesky birds from our home!

Not having the benefit of any reports available on Angie's List to review was concerning; however, I had given up on trying to obtain assistance from regular pest control service companies. I was impressed from the first telephone conversation that I had with Birds Away staff. The person who provided the estimate was knowledgeable and, to preserve the appearance of my home, offered to have his team paint the wire to match the chimneys! Last Spring, the swallows had made a nest at the top of the highest point in the roof on the second floor. What a nasty mess! Birds Away cleaned and disinfected the area before installing the wire netting. Their finished work looks neat and clean. I am very pleased with the excellent customer service and quality of the work that was performed by Birds Away and would recommend them without hesitation. The peace of mind and not having to worry about swallow and/or pigeon issues is priceless.

No success. Gentleman was friendly, experienced, professional; but no rats were caught and the problem continued. On the bright side, no squirrels or birds or other animals were harmed.

They offer a wide range of services in pest and animal control. I was looking for someone that would handle getting rid of birds, not all pest control companies do that. They came out on the day that I could be at home and took care of everything in one afternoon. I would recommend them to my friends and neighbors, and anyone who is looking to get rid of some birds. The pricing was in the right range. The price is definitely worth the service. When you call them they tell you that coming out to get a quote is $299 and then if you use them for the extermination then that price is used toward the extermination costs so they do not come out and give free estimates. But they are very good and I would hire them again.

We were pretty over run with rats and we were really impressed with C And T Rodent Control. We also had a bird mite infestation which was not fun to deal with. They were very responsive to our calls and came out to determine what the issue was. They are clean and efficient and we have not had any problems. The technician was courteous and polite as well.

I've been struggling with what I thought were bug bites, and called this company on 12/19/11 to ask questions. Both John and Steve were incredibly helpful: patient while I explained my concerns and walking me through a brief visual inspection. When that--thankfully--proved negative, we scheduled an appointment for the next day(!), David arrived on time and was the consummate professional: friendly, reassuring, and able to explain his actions in layman's terms. He inspected the bedroom, living room, study, and attic. He then inspected outside for bird nests. No evidence of bug activity was found, and David left traps for me to monitor. A great experience during a worrisome time.

They come every 2 months and they did a pretty good job. It was 2 companies that merged and I have been using them for a little over a year and I have a contract with them. They use safe projects and watch out for my bird feeders while spraying and do a good job. They come quarterly and sometimes more often. I think they charge less if you have a contract and in comparison to other companies they might be a little expensive, but their services are worth the money. Since I have a contract with them I will continue to use them in the future.

We contacted Birds Away for a quote to try and get rid of a pigeon problem. While the receptionist was very friendly, that was the extent of the help. The sales person did not attempt to call us back, and after waiting and trying a second time to contact Birds Away, the sales person finally said he'd be in the area and check. He came by while we were out, left his card, said he'd send an email within two days. But nothing. After another week and a half, we contacted him again, and he had an excuse as to why he didn't email us and said he'd send it right away (no call to tell us that he's working on it, or had a problem). After another two weeks, we contacted him again and he said that "I sent the email". However we didn't get any nor was it in our SPAM folder, so no email. He sent an email with a single sentence and a large price. Very unprofessional, very slow, not recommended. We felt that we were not a potential customer, nor important to them. In the mean time, one of the pigeon's hatched a couple more babies.

These guys were amazing. Jeremy, the sales person was responsive and addressed all my concerns and needs. We felt he was going to take care of us. They were able to schedule us for the next day. We had rodent and birds in the attic. Oscar and his crew showed up on time the next day. They spent their time prepping and protecting my house for all the work they needed to do. They never seemed like they were rushing to just get the job done. They spent the time needed to do a great and complete job. I really appreciate that. They removed all the old insulation sealed all the holes in the attic and installed new insulation. They left my house cleaner than when they started. I would highly recommend Attic Pro to anyone.

I was so glad I called Rat Patrol. Garland and Teresa are professional and very nice people. Garland accommodated my work schedule on his first and return visits. He fully explained what was going on, why it was happening, what he would be doing to eliminate the rat problem in our attic, and what I could do to help keep the rats away. The very first night after his visit I heard a little scratching and then nothing after that - I didn't realize how stressed out I was getting from hearing that scratching in the den ceiling until it was gone! With the two year warranty that goes with this service it was totally worth the price. I highly recommend the Rat Patrol!

Rat infestation in 2010: Donovan's is extremely professional and courteous. The technician explained everything in detail and checked our house to make sure rats had not infiltrated elsewhere (he actually found evidence in our attic and took care of it also). He then explained that he was going to set traps, where he was going to put them, and that he would be back in a week to check them. He also identified areas where the rats were able to get in and advised having them screened after trapping was complete. He found rats in the trap the first time he came back and left them there for a 2nd week. When he found them empty, he also inspected areas where he had found evidence of them previously to ensure they were gone. He called back a week after the last trapping to remind us to set up an appointment for the screening (FYI, he had left us messages after our previous infestation but we never got around to doing it which is probably why we got them again!). We also paid an extra amount ($75???) to have all rat nests and droppings removed. Definitely will use Donovan's again and again!!

John is responsive to calls for estimates. He called back right away, and we set up a time for him to look at our situation. The reason this month long trapping is pricey, is that it involves multiple visits per week to check the traps, and the initial set up takes some time. He is very careful to keep the traps out of a child's reach, and from interfering with neighbor's yards. Where applicable, he protects birds from getting caught in the traps by putting mesh over the trap. His company offers a variety of yard and critter services. I recommend Gingrich Horticulture Service, and I will use them for bait station maintenance, and will try some of their other lawn and critter services.

The shelter in place has really put the focus on all of the projects at the house that need to taken care of. We kept hearing noises coming from the attic at night but wasn't sure what it was. The noises stopped and we figured that the problem went away only to realize that it had returned. Then we found rodent droppings under the sink which was totally gross, we realized that it was rats making their way into our kitchen. We knew then that we had to get rid of them and right away. We called a few pest control companies but they couldn't get someone out to remove the rats until later in the week. We decided to give Presto a try hoping they would be fast. I called them and they had someone come out to our home within an 1 hour. I didn't mind paying for the inpsection fee because it was deducted from the total cost of the serice. They pointed out all of the places around the house that the rats were able to access into the home. They provided me with a quote to repair them and begin to trap the rats in the attic. We didn't realize that the bird seed that we had in the backyard was a feeding source for the rats until it was pointed out to us. It was recommended that we also install bait around the house since we had a creek and open field next door. I was hesitant because I have little ones and animals not wanting them to be exposed to chemicals. They explained the rat poison they use is multifeeding which is less toxic and that everything was approved for use in California. I'm so glad we had chosen Presto because our rat problem is gone! We found one dead rat under a log in the backyard but it was explained there were more rats dead becuase all the bait was gone indicating there were a lot. We no longer hear any noises in the attic and we make sure that the bird feeder does not spill the seed onto the ground. They solved our problem so fast and explained everything that they would be doing ahead of time. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their problem gone for good and fast. Amy

When our dogs came home with fleas (even though they were on Frontline), I was concerned about how to exterminate since we have a 10 month old at home. Our vet actually recommended Fleabusters and we chose them because they don’t use chemicals or pesticides. I spoke at length with Rhonda at Customer Service who was incredibly knowledgeable and empathetic. She helped me understand what we were up against and made me feel completely at ease to have this product in my house with my son. Because this year is bad for fleas (or good if you are a flea) they were very busy and we would have had to wait 2 weeks before having someone come in. She was able to call someone in from their southern California offer and get us an earlier appointment to which I was very grateful. Joel arrived on time and ready to go. He was incredibly professional, answered all of our questions and very personable. He didn’t rush through the house but was very thorough both inside and out (they use little worms that eat all of the stages of the fleas so it's completely safe for the dogs to be on the grass along with any of the birds or other wildlife in our yard) and explained everything that he was doing. The amount of knowledge he had was really impressive. It’s been a couple of days and we have already noticed a difference. As for the guarantee, I read the review from the person who said it was only for 10 months so I asked Joel directly and the guarantee is for a FULL12 MONTHS. It is in my contract that I signed and Joel even went so far to say that if on the 12th month the fleas come back, they will come in again for free to take care of the problem. If you are concerned about the guarantee, just call them and have them confirm it for you in writing. Based just on this one experience with their staff and receiving the treatment, I would highly recommend Fleabusters.

.Stanley, the estimator, was punctual, very knowledgeable,courteous and thorough in his inspection of our house. He confirmed we had rats entering, primarily the crawl space through foundation screens damaged by penetration of pipes and Comcast cables, and also a loose fitting crawl space door. He also pointed out entrances under a side garage door, and the possibly through the sides of the overhead garage door. He pointed out a large number of screens under the eves were either damaged or missing; he inspected the attic and confirmed bird entry through the damaged screens. He recommended: replacing all of the screens under the eves with heavy duty types, since most were damaged and the remainder very fragile (original screens in use for 44 years);he also said the foundation screens should be repaired or replaced; cement placed around the sink clean out pipe; build a new crawl space door:attach a metal extender to the side door; and seal the sides of the overhead door. On the schedule day, Bay Area Rodent Solutions repair men Brian, assisted by Julio, called ahead and showed up at the appointed time. We did a quick walk around to inspect and discuss the areas to be repaired. They went to work and indicated the job was finished about 3 hours later. After doing a walk around inspection a number of issues with the repair were apparent. 1) Only the damaged eve screens were replaced, Bryan tried to convince me it wasn't necessary to do the others- even though their inspector (Stanley) had strongly recommended it, and the billing included replacement to all eve screens.2) The crawl space door was trimmed and a barrel bolt installed, as opposed to building a new crawl space door called for in the contract. Brian explained and showed to me that putting hinges on the existing door was not feasible (would not operate properly and couldn't attach the hinges to the stucco wall. Although the door provided a good seal, it could not be removed easily the way it was installed; so we compromised by Bryan attaching a heavy pull handle to aid in removal. 3) There was still some space along the lower edge of the side garage door; Bryan used some additional cement to fill the gap. 4) The sides of the overhead door were not redone as per the contract; Bryan didn't think it was necessary, and at my insistence tried a few ways to seal the gaps. Finally he used some heavy weather stripping intended for the door's bottom, but used along the sides. I think that the job was performed to my satisfaction, but only after some friendly persuasion. Bryan was agreeable to doing the contracted work, but only after the shortcomings were pointed out. In Bryan's favor however, he was always courteous and tried to do the right thing.
