Guardian Pest Control

Connor has been my go-to wildlife specialist for several years now, and I can say without…read morehesitation that he is one of the most reliable and trustworthy professionals I've worked with. I live in a wooded neighborhood where wildlife is constant and persistent--squirrels, raccoons, bats, and even groundhogs have all tried to make their way into or around my home over the years. Each situation required a thoughtful, knowledgeable approach, and every time Connor has shown up promptly, assessed the issue correctly, and put together a clear, effective plan. What really sets him apart is how carefully he thinks through not just removal, but long-term prevention. His goal is not a temporary fix--he focuses on protecting my home for the long term, often thinking 10-20 years ahead. That level of foresight has made a huge difference and has saved me both money and stress. He doesn't overcomplicate things or create unnecessary repeat visits. He does the work the right way the first time. Beyond his expertise, he is simply easy to work with. He communicates clearly, follows through, and handles things without drama. At this point, I trust him implicitly, which is not something I say lightly after managing a large and complex home project. I continue to call Connor because every experience reinforces that I'm in good hands. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with wildlife or attic-related issues.

The 2nd time I used them was to secure the perimeter of my deck after wildlife creatures were gnawing on my electric lines.

I highly recommend them! Sally

I found this company while I was searching for a PDF file on opossums for educational purposes and couldn't believe the lies. I have worked with opossums for many years, and they are NOT aggressive, do NOT pose a threat to other animals (they get along great with cats) and most importantly do NOT CARRY DISEASES!!! They don't carry rabies (body temp too low), distemper, Lyme disease, etc. The only disease which is EXTREMELY RARE is EPM and that's for horses only). They are shy animal that stays to themselves and carries NO parasites, as a matter of fact, they exterminate them, especially ticks! They eat rodents, insects, berries, and worms (to name a few), and are excellent carcass cleaners. They don't live in burrows or hibernate, so if you see a hole in the yard it's not them. They also don't stay in an area long as they are fearful of predators. Opossums are VERY CLEAN as they preen like cats. What these animal nuisance businesses also don't tell you is that they often don't humanely relocate...they DROWN them in trap cages. So please, contact your local DNR or rehabber to properly rehome, or trap and relocate yourself.

I should state that I have referred many people to this company thru my business. Now that I personally used them, I could never recommend them to anyone.

Turnaround time is pretty decent even during the peak season, with quality parts and by people who KNOW the ins and outs of the equipment. I recently went in for a purchase of some work equipment that I DIDN'T want to share. Mainly bc, some folks don't care about the stuff bc they didn't personally pay for it... sad fact but oh well. Bought a top of the line oscillating 0° pressure washer tip for $199 and it's been the greatest thing ever. The innards are made of ceramic and (if I remember correctly) titanium, ensuring long life and impeccable performance. A tough rubber sleeved exterior helps withstand shock damage and makes for a comfy grip as well. Second item was a 4' 3500 psi stainless steel wand, while heavier than the aluminum wands our company has been getting, they're sturdier, resist acids and other chemicals more and don't flex like softer aluminum. They put all the correct fittings on both the tip and the wand within minutes, all seals and gaskets as well. It was a quick and easy in and out and ready to get to work. Highly recommend this place.

They are kind hearted, loving, caring, wonderful people. Our son has autism and they were always willing to work with him. He also has a profound language/speech delay, and so he has a limited vocabulary and difficulty expressing himself. Every single one of those teachers worked with him and loved him and cared for him just as they would any other child. No matter what, they were willing to work with us and our son. When we had financial difficulties, they were willing to work with us. This is just by far the best daycare center ever. In the past we had a couple good experiences, but the home-based daycare we were at before going to Ma's 3 years ago was horrible and left my faith completely destroyed in daycare. The women at Ma's L'il Champs have completely restored my faith in daycare because of their excellence in what they do. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this place. I cried when I had to pick up my son there for the last time. Maybe I'm going to have a harder time than he is adjusting to the new place he has to go to. I would recommend Ma's L'il Champs to anyone for a daycare center. In fact, I have recommended them to many people in the past. There's only one thing that matters when it comes to your child, and that is that they are loved and well cared for when they are in someone else's hands, and that is exactly the way they will be treated at Ma's.
