I was called to a house in Virgina Highlands today that I inspected last year. At that time the house had a grey squirrel family living in the attic, I trapped the squirrels and relocated them to a rural area. The homeowners decided not to do any repairs last year so all of the openings were still in place and readily available for any nuisance animal to re-enter at their discretion. This is a rental house and the landlord just refused to pay a repair bill. Consequently, the tennants moved out and the landlord was faced with finding new tennants and still having the same problem areas in the structure. New tennants have recently moved in, complained about noises in the attic and wanted the problem corrected as the noises were scaring a 10 year girl.  Now the landlord is more receptive to correcting the problem, has to pay another elimination charge plus the repair bill. The sooner the animal situation is properly diaginosed, the easier it is to correct all of the problems with nuisance animals. Always remember, complete and thorough inspections afford the opportunity for complete and thorough repairs. Complete and thorough repairs will always be the solution to invasion by any nuisance animal. Lastly, when you hire someone to do these repairs, make sure they have a warranty to back up their work and if necessary, ask for references from recent work. I am assuming you have already seen some proof of credentials, insurance and and a business license.
