Arrow said it would cost "thousands" to have their "wildlife team" come go inch by inch and block holes, put on excluders, etc.

Is that the going rate?

I have a havahart up there now, pics to follow if I catch one.

Then I make a roux.

Or drive it down the road and set it loose.

But then the other ones will be afraid of the trap, so I foresee having to get professional help.

Try Xpest Exterminating our of Loganville. I had them price a house before. Can’t say it will be less, but they quoted me $1,100 there.

I could shoulder $1100. I wouldn't like it.

I am willing to move all my termite business and regular pest control, along with Summer mosquito spraying to a new company. I can bring a package deal to a new vendor, for a discount on the one-time wildlife deal.

And the motherfrickers will still come back. Bill Murray the shite out of them. Poison, dynamite, and a good pellet gun with a scope. Please post video of them dying in agony. The only good squirrel is a dead squirrel.

Spray cellulose (lots of it) insulation in the attic. Rodents don't like to nest in it due to the borate and looseness of the insulation.

Figure out how they are getting in and fix it. Trim branches and trees close to the house so they can't have easier access to your house. Had to go to war a few years back at my old house. Wound up shooting all of them over the course of a few weeks with an air rifle and a .22 loaded with CCI Quiets since it was a residential area.

No, most companies put excluders on the entry points so they can get out but not back in, and warranty it for a long time so if they ever show back up, they come redo all the work for free.

Depends on the measurements of your roof line. I usually quote people anywhere from $1500+ and trapping to go with it

This thread tickles my taste buds.

A squirrel-off anyone?

Are they climbing up the posts or jumping onto the pergola?

Large mousetraps and peanut butter.

Will cost you less than $10. Been there, done that.
