Report
I had squirrels get into my soffit area through a tiny opening where it was pulled open. I contacted Pest Detective and they showed up PDQ and set up some traps and they came and monitored it in a regular basis. I would advise them if the trap had caught anything and they would come that day and set up a fresh one, After a couple of weeks they all seemed to have disappeared so when they were wrapping up, they actually set up a ladder and put a piece of sheet metal to close off the small gap to ensure they did not return. Excellent service that went above and beyond.

Osh at Pest Detective was exceptional. He thought he had caught the squirrel the first time. However, a few days later I could hear the squirrel in the attic again. There was obviously a second squirrel. Osh responded immediately and fixed the problem at no additional cost. I would highly recommend pet detective.

Osh, at Pet Detective is amazing. I live in a split house with another tenant who was having problems with mice. While the mice had not made it into my space I had ants and his knowledge and passion about different species, chemical safety and genuine care and respect for our planet superseded any expectations I could have had. I could not recommend his services more. No one wants pests in their house but if you do this is the guy to call!

Patience paid of with Pest Detective. Oshoowa tried several different approaches with some pesky raccoons. He really went above and beyond with great customer customer service. The racoons have found a new home.

I ran into an ant problem a couple of days ago. I called "Pest Detective" because of their high rating on Google and I was not disappointed. The fellow who came out was very knowledgeable and really thorough. He found ant nests that even I had missed around the outside of the house. The problem was solved immediately! There is no question that I will call them again next year if this problem returns. You can't really ask for more than these folks delivered! Top notch job in my books!
