Richard Varney of Advantage Pest Control in South Portland, ME is the only pest control service who…read morehas ever been able to get rid of the squirrels that had made a nest in the under eave closet of my old house. In the past four years I have had THREE different companies come and charge me a good deal of money (i.e. $750.00; $950.00 and $1500.00 respectively) and did not eradicate the problem at all. The first time was three years ago and the squirrels did stay gone for a while but they were back this Thanksgiving when the last two services were employed and did nothing except take my money. Richard Varney did things differently than any of these other companies and that is why he is the best. What he didn't do was just stick a trap up on the roof and expect the squirrels to waltz in it after a few days but no longer than five . . . Both companies said they would seal the holes so there would be no way the squirrels could get back in and both were wrong - they did. Richard came to my house, every day, for over three weeks before he was sure they were out and gone. He trapped the adults but there were still babies. He is the only one I know that put foam in the holes first . . . and then waited to see if it remained or was pushed out - indicating that there was still activity. He built a rest for a trap on the side of the house, because that was where it was needed. He is also the nicest, kindest man I've met in this business. I was devastated when the previous company allowed a trapped squirrel to die of exposure on my roof during a severe rainstorm. I called and asked them to please come and get it before it died, and they said, "All their technicians had gone home" . . . and it died a horrible, slow death. Richard was just the opposite. As soon as I texted him that there was a squirrel in the trap, he was on his way over. He cares about both his clients and the animals he needs to trap. You will get no better than RICHARD VARNEY and ADVANTAGE PEST CONTROL. They were simply the only ones in over three years and four companies that could actually do the job they promised. I urge you to contact Advantage Pest Control for any of your future needs.

Rich is absolutely fantastic. When we discovered squirrels in our attic (which was a relief as I…read moreactually had convinced myself that there was a serial killer living inside) he came right over, throughly explained what steps he would take, and set a humane trap for the animals. As soon as the first squirrel took the peanut bait, Rich came right back over (in a snow storm!) to collect the little guy. He repeatedly assured me that he would take him to a nice, safe place, just far enough away so that Mr. Squirrel would not be able to move back into my house. Rich then continued to set traps to catch and release the squirrel family until everyone was accounted for. Finally, once the weather improved he was able to seal the hole in our attic. Chip & Dale will need to find a new clubhouse for their shenanigans this year.

We had such a great experience with Penney Fence and would absolutely recommend them! Chris was…read moregreat to work with from the very beginning. He helped us figure out the best layout for our property, answered all of our questions, and really cared about making sure we ended up with exactly what we wanted. He's extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also funny, friendly, and just really easy to work with. Chris was booking a few months out when we first reached out, but I can confidently say our fence was worth the wait. The materials are high quality, reasonable pricing, the attention to detail is excellent, and everything was done with both function and appearance in mind. You can tell Chris takes a lot of pride in his work and stands behind what he installs. His crew also worked incredibly hard through some seriously hot summer days, and we really appreciated the care they put into everything. My husband and I absolutely love how the fence turned out and our two dogs may be even happier than we are! If you're looking for a local fence company that does quality work, pays attention to the details, and genuinely wants you to be happy with the finished product, I can't recommend Penney Fence enough. We're so glad we went with them!

Most recently, about 2 years ago they came in and took out 3 huge hemlocks on the far side of the property to open up the sky for more sun to the pool area, lawn and gardens. That was a major job, and they came back and ground down the stumps too. All very well done! This week it was for very tall, old, hard woods blocking light to the front yard, gardens and pool area. They got it all done in one day, including moving and cutting the hardwood to 16" lengths for the wood stove, and are available for hire to come back and help us with running the wood splitter since w're getting kind of old for that sort of thing! We love Webster Tree, Aaron and all the crew are always super great! I remember when we first had them in, I would thank Steve Webster, and he'd get that twinkle in his eye and say "That's all we do!" with a smile.
