I recently hired Abra Kadabra recently to help us get rid of a wasp nest from our backyard and I'm…read morethrilled to report the wasps are still gone and I would absolutely hire AK again. I used the "Projects" feature in Yelp to get a few bids and AK was competitive. When I scheduled the appointment to have someone come to the house, they got me on the books for the next day. My wasp problem wasn't an emergency situation, but it was great to know they could come out fast if needed. The specialist they sent out was great and he explained what he was going to do and what the expected outcome was. Within 30 minutes, he'd finished up and was gone. I hope I don't need them again, but I'd hire AK again if ever there's another pest issue!

I hired Wildlife Management Services when I purchased their Platinum Animal Protection package for…read more$1000. The package offers complete interior and exterior inspection for entry ways for pests and sealing those holes. It also has a year guarantee to remove any animals that enter the house. They were here in September for the initial inspection and to get rid of a squirrel. Since then they've been back to fill more entry points they missed on the other visits resulting in us having 3 squirrels, 4 mice and a bat. Christina, their manager, refused to honor the plan in removing the mice - demand over $300 more to poison the mice instead of trap and get rid of them (as covered in the plan). I've asked for the owner to call but either the request isn't being relayed or they just don't care. I've since hired a different company who got rid of the mice and sealed more holes WMS had missed in their various visits. While the technicians are nice, they clearly didn't seal the entry points throughout their numerous visits, and the company refuses to honor its contract. There are many options out there - Steer clear of Wildlife Management Services!

Matt is highly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions, even when I asked them twice. He offered cost effective solutions and I found him to be honest and fair. I truly appreciated that he came out the same day that I called and he was quick to respond to my calls throughout the process. Needless to say, the colony of bats in the attic have been evicted and Matt will be the one I call for any future needs. Thanks a million Matt! You're the BEST! D. Nelson

He responded promptly, visited the property, and clearly explained his plan of action. He was respectful of the renter's space and schedule.

Very happy with Matt's work and highly recommend his services.

Bottom line first, stop looking *here*. Some people just skim reviews. I do too…read more If your reading these reviews (I'm including Google reviews)you probably noticed a trend of people saying they would give Nick more stars if possible. That's absolutely right, I would. He doesn't even advertise. Remember the old saying about word of mouth being the best? It's not just the best advertising, it's the best services for you too. I tried several bigger companies and got nothing from them. I had AI's study all the data online and several told me too try Nick. He picked up the phone in the middle of the night, I was just planning too leave an office message (I'm not suggesting you do that too him). Instead of a voicemail I learned immediately he knew his stuff and learned quite a bit about the issue while just figuring out when too have him come by. He spent allot more time (hours) and effort then I ever would of expected for a simple and very reasonable inspection, fee (frankly he under charged me). He found issues I couldn't even seen when he pointed a lazer at them, and flaws in components I didn't know were possible causes. He thoroughly went over and through areas of the whole structure. Even using a scope camera too look inside areas of the structure that normally are not visible to anyone bigger then a mouse (my offender). I learned how some companies may cut corners. Thus it appears to you they are catching the offenders while probably just catching the harmless outside critters. This does not necessarily help with your budget or the ones entering through harder too identify and more likely access points in a structure like roofs under hangs, seams, and the internal components of ventilation. Hard for humans too inspect while easy and predator free for critters seeking a place in your place. Nick really left no stone unturned here. He employed simple logical methods too identify the access points in use and the offenders species. Then made some simple repairs too keep them out untill my roof is replaced soon. It was cold and dark throughout this process, it involved allot of trips onto the roof and into the hard too reach attic and nooks. He provided photos and videos for insurance. As well as options too deal with it if it persists further, more than I expected by a mile. There was no sales pitch, no up charging. Just straight information an some simple countermeasures. Despite the unpleasant problem I actually had fun doing this with them Nick and his family are genuinely good company (pun intended). All the tell tail marks of a company that runs on quality not quantity. Levity aside, I can give him a serious endorsement. As a retired investigator I can say this, he treated the inspection with all the thorough do diligence I would expect from an investigator actually worth their salt working a serious case. That's really what you're home is, a serious subject. One which can become a very expensive problem if you let something get out of control. So take it as such and use someone who clearly treats it as seriously as if your home were their own. You need not seek farther.
